In 1611, Juan Montes Vigil had sought passage to the New World as an aide to don Jacinto Olmos. The permission document was prepared on behalf of Juan Montes Vigil by his uncle, Bartolomé de Vigil, Regidor (Councilman) of the "Villa del Consejo de Siero." Juan presented the document to the officials of the Casa de la Contratación de las Indias in Sevilla to provide information about the nobility of the Vigil family, declaring they were hidalgos and verifying that Juan Montes Vigil was a descendant of the ancient "casa y solar" (house and manor) of Vigil, one of the oldest and most prominent families of the San Martino de Siero area. Juan Montes would have been between 12-15 years old when he traveled to America.

Image: Map of Nueva Galicia 1550, Archivos Estatales (España)

Juan Montes Vigil was native to Mexico city and resided in Zacatecas, Nueva Galicia. (Nueva Galicia was an autonomous kingdom of the Viceroyalty of New Spain).

In his first will he identified a son and daughter. He also declared the ownership of 2 mulatto slaves. One was named Tomasa de la Cruz and the other named Nicolása who was 29 and sold for 415 pesos.

In his second will, Juan Montes Vigil identified Francisco Montes Vigil as his natural (illegitimate) son. He also named his daughter, María de Herrera Cantillana.

Court records show that in 1664, Juan de Montes was compelled by the law to give a slave to the Royal Treasurer of the Holy Office of the Inquisition of New Spain for seventy-nine pesos.
‍
Juan Montes had a very young daughter buried at Zacatecas in 1667. The fact that no mother was named is consistent with Juan’s testimony that he was single, and also that he was responsible in one way or another, for the children he fathered.

In 1690, Juan Montes Vigil ran into more trouble and was jailed for not paying a debt he owed to the convent of San Francisco in the city of San Luis Potosi. He spent 30 days in jail.

Generation 31: Francisco Montes Vigil
‍born circa 1666, Zacatecas, Nueva Galicia, married María Jiménez (Ximénez) de Enciso (Anciso), and they settled New Mexico in 1695.

His father had dealt with issues such as losing a daughter at a very young age, spending time in prison for not complying with the law, buying and selling slaves, and writing out a will when facing death (twice). Whether Francisco ever knew his mother or not we may never know, but he and his wife María pioneered into the northern country of New Mexico to start a new life. Through their children, they became the progenitors of the Vigil family of New Mexico. Capitán Francisco Montes Vigil died 11 September 1730 and was buried at Santa Cruz de la Cañada (Sante Fe).

Through a muster roll of Colonists we know Francisco, his wife and their children came to New México in 1695 with the Juan Páez Hurtado expedition. He is described on the muster roll as thirty, an able-bodied Spanish native of Zacatecas with somewhat curly chestnut hair, and a scar on the left side of his face below his eye.

The Juan Paez Hurtado Expedition, under Capt. Juan Hurtado, was ordered by De Vargas (Spanish Governor of the New Spain territory of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, "Reconqueror of New Mexico") to resettle Santa Fe after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. The expedition finally left Zacatecas in 1695. 46 families enlisted, totaling 146 persons.

The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 was a revolution against Spanish religious, economic, and political institutions imposed upon the Pueblos. It is the only successful Native uprising against a colonizing power in North America and helped preserve Indigenous culture in New Mexico.

Casta was the hierarchical race-based "caste system" dating back to Medieval Spain. Colonialism resulted in widespread mixed-race categories for official documentation such as Mestizo (Spaniard and an Indigenous person); and mulatto, (Spaniard and an African).

Francisco Montes Vigil and his son are given a caste designation of Mulato, indicating that they were considered to be part African. We do not know the name of Francisco's mother, but we know his father owned several black slaves and servants. Apparently there are no records in New Mexico that indicate Francisco Montes Vigil was a mulatto, instead using the term Mestizo. Ether way this is where the European line ends with either an African or an Indigenous Mexican Native American mother. His wife Maria is identified in documents as “María Ximénez, española"

Francisco Montes Vigil was granted land in 1710 in Alameda, Nuevo Méjico. He later sold the land and moved to Santa Cruz de la Canada. There is a land grant south east of Cordova, New México, in the Carson National Forest known as the Francisco Montes Vigil Land Grant.

In 1715, he and his wife María Jiménes de Ancisco distributed 40 cattle among several of their children

Married María Estela Marquez 1725

When Domingo Montes Vigil was two years old in 1965, his family was recruited in Zacatecas, Mexico, to move to New Mexico. Captain Juan Paez Hurtado was supposed to only recruit families so he "borrowed" the children from large families to assign as nieces and nephews to the single colonists. On the official list, Domingo was counted with two of his sisters as the nephew and nieces of José Antonio Romero from Spain

Since his father was a soldier, he may have grown up in Santa Fe near the Presidio. Eventually he settled in Santa Cruz where he served as the alcalde mayor in 1731 and 1732.

He first married Pascuala Salazar (daughter of Captain Agustin Maria de Salazar) in about 1715 and they had two sons: Juan Cristobal born about 1720 and Juan Bautista born about 1721. He was next married to María Estela Marquez and they had at least six children: Barbara, Francisco Antonio, Julian, Gregorio Pablo, Nicolasa, and Rosalia.

Records for Juan Montes 'Antonio' Vigil are conflicting. He is sometime listed as Montes and sometimes Antonio. He may have been married 3 or 4 times with at least 30 children. Spouse and parent seem to suggest the same person.

Jose Gabriel's mother has been listed as Soledad Duran y Chavez (AKA Maria de la Soledad de la Cruz Chavez) and María Manuela Jirón (Giron). A birth record would be nice.

The latter couple were married circa 1820 (ref LDS) in Abiquiu, New Mexico and likely remained in this area. Their son José Gabriel Vigil was born 1 Sep 1822 in Ojo Caliente and was baptized on 8 Sep 1822 at the Santo Tomás Catholic Church in Abiquiu.

The children of José Gabriel Vigil and María Isabel Lucero began with Manuel Antonio Vigil and María Feliciana Vigil born in Ojo Caliente followed by the birth of María Tomasa Vigil circa 1849. The 1850 census lists José Gabriel as a resident of Rio Arriba, New Mexico. The next child was María Dorotea who was born in Abiquiu.

By this time José Gabriel was in search of a new residence.
