• Dates & Events. 250
Inquisition officials requested a copy of the marriage record of Diego Romero and doña Catalina de Zamora. However, the oldest book of marriages for the Santa Fe Convento began on January 1, 1648, and the couple had been married earlier than this date.

The first to testify at Santa Fe on May 28, 1675, was Juan Lucero de Godoy, vecino of the jurisdiction of Sandia, age 51 (b.ca. 1624), and married with doña Juana de Carabajal (Carvajal). He declared he was first married with Luisa Romero and that the wedding occurred in the Palace of the Villa de Santa Fe. On the same day and also at the Palace, Juan's father, Pedro Lucero de Godoy, was married with doña Francisca Gómez Robledo, and Juan's sister, doña Catalina de Zamora, was married with Diego Romero. The presiding priest was Fray Juan de Vidana. All the witnesses in this case declared this to be true, and confirmed that doña Catalina de Zamora was still living."
