Francisco lived on land he acquired in Alburquerque. He arranged to have his son, Bentura, live on the southern portion of his land and share a house that belonged to Baltasar Romero, who also owned the land to the south of that house. In March of 1715, Alejo Gutierres bought land and some rooms in a house in Alburquerque, the northern boundary was stated to be the lands of Francisco de la Candelaria and the southern boundary was stated to be lands of Juan de Tórres. Later that same year, Bentura and his future father-in-law, Alejo Gutiérres, had a disagreement about how to divide the house they were sharing and the land around it. It was finally decided that Bentura should get the land on the north side of the house, near his father, and Alejo would get the land on the south.
