• Background Information: ²⁵²
Antonio de Cisneros is the only person of this name who appears with the refugees of 1680, or rather in 1681, when he passed muster as a twenty-one-year-old bachelor. Since there were no Cisneros refugees in 1680, it seems as though they were all residing at Guadalupe del Paso by that time. Perhaps Antonio was another son of Bartolomé; or else he was the son of Vicente Cisneros of the Salinas country, for he later became Alcalde Mayor of Galisteo following the Reconquest. (When the Salinas area was abandoned prior to the Rebellion, some of the Spanish folk moved to the Galisteo Basin.) Antonio's wife was Josefa Luján, and they had three children: Hermenegildo, Felipe Neri, and Juana, who married Juan de Santisteban.

Antonio Cisneros returned in 1693 with his wife Josefa Luján and their family. He was Alcalde Mayor of Zuñi in 1706, when he was mortally wounded by Apaches, given the last Sacraments by the Padre, and buried there on August 9. His wife appears to have been at least a half-sister to María Luján (Ruiz Cáceres), wife of her brother-in-law Sebastián Martín. Their three children were named in 1727 as follows: Hermenegildo, Felipe Neri (sometimes written "Nereo"), and Juana. Felipe was married to María del Castillo in 1728. Juana had married Juan de Santisteban in 1716.
