This map was made by Lt. G.M. Wheeler in 1877 as part of an effort to map the Western United States, west of the 100th Meridian. The complete version of this map and a companion map of the area to the north and west including the Rio Abajo area give an excellent view of the roads and consequently the routes available for many of our ancestors.
Puertocito, just as you come over the Capitans, I believe, was the ranch of José Ecarnación Padilla. There is no documentation of this but his grandson, Ysidro McKinley, filed a homestead, years later, for this property and another close relative, Eulogio Herrera, had an adjoining parcel.
Salado, was possibly the ranch of José Chávez y Baca. I can find no indicators for this but considering the dynamics of the area it is most probable.
McGowan's, to the west of Ft. Stanton, is the location of Tiofilo Lalonde's ranch; more properly called 'La Cienega del Magado'. In the oral tradition of my family it was called 'Magow', there were many Baptisms performed there accrording to the records.
This map predates the coming of the Railroad by 20 years and clearly shows the wagon road West from Lincoln and Ft. Stanton. One of the primary roads, west from Lincoln County in the early days.
When you go to Capitan, to the east end of town; stand by the roadway and look north, in the distance you will see a low spot in the hills in front of you. There, County Road 246 comes down through the Capitans, toward town. Right in front of you a stream makes its way down from the hills to your left, the Tucson Mountains, and flows off to your right disappearing to where it joins the Rio Bonito; this is Salado Creek. Behind you, just on the other side of town a stream comes down from the Nogal area to the west, Magado Creek, and joins Salado Creek down the road from you, just to your right. From before the 1870s and into the 1880s, before the advent of Capitan, this area was known as the Salado Flats.
Into this area a few pioneering families made their way during, and right after, the Civil War, farmed, ranched and made a home for themselves. This story will hopefully shed some light on them.
At the founding of Fort Stanton in 1855, Major Carlton of the U.S. Army had blazed a wagon road down from Manzano, on the east side of the Manzano Mountains, past the Jicarilla Mountains to Patos Lake and up and over the Capitan Mts through the Salado Flats, down to the Bonito and up to the site of the Fort. This became the northern roadway that drew settlers to the Rio Bonito area. The only other roadway at the time, and developed simultaneously, was the roadway southward from the Fort; down through Mescalero country, through Tularosa, across the desert and over the mountains to Mesilla on the lower Rio Grande.
The area that was to become Lincoln County, centered on a village on the Rio Bonito a few miles to the east of the Salado Flats called la placita later named Lincoln. At the time of the 1860 Census there were about 275 people (not counting the Military) in the whole area, from the upper Rio Hondo to the Rio Bonito and up to Fort Stanton on the upper Bonito. La placita was the center of activity; and growing of corn in the la placita valley was the main occupation. The fertility of the area and the security of the soldiers gave the settlers of the valley a sense of well being. 1862 and the advent of the Civil War changed everything for our intrepid settlers, the U.S. Army pulled out of Fort Stanton, it was occupied briefly by a Company of Confederate soldiers then shortly, they left. The settlers left as well; with nobody to sell corn to and no army for protection from the Indians, it was every family for themselves. The folks with ties to the Mesilla Area or with Confederate sympathies retreated southward and the rest left to the north, to or through Manzano. The fields, farms and casas lay unattended, abandoned.
The U.S. Army returned in 1863 and everything started all over again. Since nobody had title to the land in those days the abandon places were up for grabs to the next wave of settlers. It should be noted that very few of the original settlers chose to return as evidenced by comparing the 1860 and 1870 Census. Only two Anglos and just a handful of Hispanos are found in both. One of those Anglos was William Miller, a Canadian and a blacksmith and his wife Manuela Herrera, a native of Manzano. In 1870 William and Manuela were found at Fort Stanton where he was a blacksmith.
In the Salado Flats, in the 1870 Census, the only family of prominence was the one of José Encarnación Padilla and his wife Polonia Herrera. José had been one of the more successful farmers in the Manzano area; Polonia (his second wife) was the daughter of Francisco Herrera and Francisca Otero whose daughters were destined to head many of the key households of Lincoln County. In Manzano José most likely raised sheep although in Salado he had a dairy, it has been stated by some, that he sold cheese and butter to the Fort. José no doubt had his quirks, for in Rafael Chacón’s memoirs “Legacy of Honor” a story was recorded that José came to the Fort and coming into Chacón’s office and raised a rifle to shoot him but was prevented by a soldier passing by who knocked down José with the butt of a gun and thus saved Chacón’s life. After a few days the Army released José to his family, they stated that occasionally José would go berserk and had to be restrained and that the family would look after him more carefully in the future.
The Salado was at the upper end of the Rio Bonito system; at the other end, on the lower Hondo, a major settlement had sprung up in the late 1860s, Missouri Plaza. The community owed its existence to the fact that a new wagon road had begun to be used to connect Fort Sumner on the upper Pecos River with Fort Stanton to facilitate supplying both. As circumstances developed Missouri Plaza was unsustainable and the folks there mostly moved up into the upper Hondo, Ruidoso and Bonito rivers to join family or friends at various places around Lincoln County. Some of those displaced families came to the Salado Flats.
The 1870s were a tough time in Lincoln County, the “House of Murphy” was putting the squeeze on the regular people through high prices and unfair lending practices; all the things a good Hollywood Western has going for it. This culminated with the Lincoln County War and appearance of Billy the Kid. For the most part folks were pretty much neutral as the war shifted back and forth across the landscape. By 1881, with the death of Billy, or Bilito as his Hispano admirers called him, the war was over and Lincoln County could carry on with growing. By 1885 a couple of things had a further impact: the Indian depredations had been stopped and gold had been discovered in White Oaks, just north and west of the Salado.

The names in italics have been corrected from the actual Census
José was certainly one of the early resettlers of Lincoln County in 1863ish. It makes commercial sense to locate a ranch on on a major through-fare; in this case about a days journey out from Ft. Stanton on the main road north to Manzano and then Santa Fe.
Senobio and Tiofilo had the advantage of being on the only well traveled freight road connecting travelers coming from Texas to Lincoln County and on to the west. Almost every wagon or trail herd passing through to Arizona or California passed this way.
The Salado-Tucson-Capitan Area
This little excerpt is taken from Ruth Birdsong’s book “Tracks North”
“The Capitan Mountains are one of the few mountain ranges in the United States that runs East and West. In 1884 Seaborn Gray homesteaded on Salado Flats and put up a small store. A Post Office was established in 1894 and he was appointed Postmaster, naming it Gray for himself. In January 1899 the El Paso & Northeastern Railway built a branch line into Gray and changed the name to Capitan. The town incorporated in 1941. The railroad reached there on September 29, 1899.
“Coal miners came from Pennsylvania (beginning in 1897); they were imported to work the Salado Coal Fields. The first carload of coal was shipped from there September 30, 1899. At first the fields gave every promise of being practically inexhaustible; but soon afterwards, as operations progressed and the pits dug deeper, the coal veins were found to be badly broken by underground faults and dikes. The veins narrowed between solid rock walls so that extraction of the coal became more and more difficult and expensive…
“Due to the veins ‘pinching out’ mining at the Salado Coal Fields had to be abandoned. With this main source of rail traffic eliminated, the budding enterprise was finished. By May 1, 1901, there was no more use in pretending that the stoppage of work in the Salado mines was of a temporary nature. The coal field was abandoned and the machinery was pulled out of the mines…
“The little railroad line from Carrizozo to Capitan was never-the-less used for about 30 years. By the 1930s it was down to two trains a week, Mondays and Fridays, finally to one per week. In 1943 the railroad was finally given permission to abandon the line…” Much to the chagrin of the local railroad men.
West and north of Capitan, as we have already seen, the hills in front and the peak to the northwest are called the Tucson Mountains. They are an integral part of our story. When José Padilla took up residence in Salado Flats there was no title to the property, whether he filled a claim on the property later is unknown. As the area started to fill up and families expanded; the old Spanish ways of just squatting on the land a thereby getting title were supplanted by the American system of homesteading untitled land or purchasing from the owner. In the mid 1880s quite a few Anglos came to the area and ‘who owned what’ became more of an issue. In her book “My Girlhood Among Outlaws” Lily Klasner tells of her mother’s troubles after her father was killed; the time frame roughly parallels ours. Ownership was not always clear and had to be settled in Court and sometimes the weak or unprepared just lost out.
When the Flats were sold to bigger interests or otherwise occupied; our families tended to move up-country, in this case to the Tucson Hills. It might be added that many communities in Lincoln County followed the same pattern in this era. The easiest eyewitness to follow is the Catholic Priest. Over time, many of our families had Baptisms at their ranches; the various records show: Sierra de Capitan, Ranchos de la Sierrita, Sierrita or Tucson, all representing the same area. At least one or two ranches built chaples, later after Capitan was established a chapel was no doubt established there and the newborns could be brought to the Priest instead of him coming to the ranches.
Of course as families grew and economics changed, many of our groups moved into other areas of Lincoln County to take advantage of opportunities there; notably White Oaks.
The Nogal Mining District was already established in 1880 and continued to flourish for the next 30 years or so, it included the up-country areas of Angus and Bonito City. On the lower slopes of Nogal Canyon and along the foothills to the north, ranching was big; two of the more significant of our families, José María Vega and Jesús Sandoval y Seña had ranches there.
White Oaks and its mines became one of the most prominent towns of the Territory in the 1880s and 1890s with the associated needs for mining labor, fresh vegetables, meat and hay. This lured many of our folks.
To the north and east of White Oaks lay the ranching areas of Patos Lake, Texas Park and Reventon; more parts to the story.
Finally in this extended view we come to Carrizozo which in the years following its founding around 1900 became the economic center of the county and in 1918 it was the site of a new County Courthouse and seat of government.
While we don’t know every exact location of each family we can get an idea of their locales by following their weddings, baptisms and death places.
This section will hopefully bring our families together, at least until the era around 1910ish. As a preview we will start with the folks from Manzano that first came to Lincoln County beginning in 1864 and build our first families from there. Then we will try and figure out the 1880 Salado crowd and their expansion and inclusion of other families. Along the way there will be notes or links to the reference section of our story; [FWS] family work sheets, I have also included “A little history of Lincoln County” which I’ve compiled from “Nuestras Madres”, ed.
Studying the history of Lincoln County you might come to the conclusion that Francisca Ortega the wife of Francisco Herrera is the mother of the symbolic fold. Certainly, at least in our corner of the County it’s true. A resident of Manzano, she probably never lived in Lincoln County but all of her children did.
Her son, Gregorio met an untimely end in a drunken knife fight in Lincoln just before the Civil War. His widow then married Octavino Salas an early Lincoln resident. Gergorio’s daughter Lorencita was born in Lincoln a few days after her father’s death, she married José Miranda and recorded her thoughts in the WPA Narratives. (See the web site) Lorencita’s older half-brother, José Eulogio Herrera made his way to our part of the world and we will encounter him as Ologio Herrera married to Anastacia Archuleta.
Lorencita Herrera de Miranda
Francisca’s oldest daughter, Polonia married José Encarnación Padilla. They are, of course, the founders of the Salado community and key to any discussion of the area. José was apparently a successful farmer in Manzano and brought his skills to serve Fort Stanton. He has an interesting story.
Polonia’s sister, Gretrudis married José Antonio Otero then when he died, married Juan Chávez and they settled in Reventon near her sister Librada.
Their sister, Lorenza first married José María Torres then after he died she married José de Gracia Flores. They moved to Lincoln and first were on or near Rancho Torres in 1870, before moving up to the Salado by 1880.
Sister Juana married Antonio Torres, they must have been among the first reoccupiers in Lincoln as were José and Polonia. Their ranch, Rancho Torres is a little east of Salado Flats at the head of the valley where we find Lincoln. After the Salado and Magado Creeks come together and join the Bonito, they run through a gap. From the gap Lincoln valley begins to spread out, the road today runs right by the Rancho and the remains of the Chapel that they built are right beside the road. Their Rancho was midway from the village to the fort, an opportune location.
The youngest sister, Liberada married Aniceto Lueras, they too settled near or on Rancho Torres. In 1880 Aniceto was listed as a Freighter taking advantage of their central spot on the road in and out of Lincoln and to Fort Stanton and northward to Manzano and the road to Las Vegas and Anton Chico. Aniceto established a sheep camp near Patos Lake and they eventually relocated there at Reventon.
Next up on our first families list is the Carrillo y Herrera family. Here again they probably never resided in Lincoln County but some of their children and grandchildren are key players in our saga. Julián Carrillo, like many men of his time, was a little indiscrete in his behavior but thanks to record keeping of the Catholic Church we can unravel a little evidence and tie it to our tale. Julián married Barbara Herrera in 1830 in Manzano. Barbara was Francisco Herrera’s sister and so another piece to our mosaic. Barbara and Julián’s son José married Nicanora Márquez (more about her shortly) and they were Lincolnites.
Julián had a liaison with a Ysabel Herrera about 1845; producing our Manuela Herrera, wife of William Miller and later wife of Joseph Swan.
Which bring us to the Artiagas. Manuel Artiaga who married Manuela’s daughter Eliza was the son of Juan Artiaga. Their family moved to the nearby Sais Ranch in Lincoln County sometime in the 1870s, Juan died about 1881 and his widow later married Henry Stutz.
Another leading candidate for foremost mother of our corner of the world is Lorenza Salas. We have no record of her first two marriages; given the state of things in early New Mexico we might infer a few things. Her first partner was José Torres who was the father of Ana María Torres who married Ygnacio niño ladron de Guevara who we will meet again shortly. Her second encounter was with Manuel Padilla the father of José Encarnación Padilla. Then Lorenza married Juan Gonzales in 1816 in the Tomé Parish. One of their daughters, Juliana married Juan José Márquez their daughter was Nicanora Márquez the wife of José Carrillo.
Our final ‘First Family’ is the family of José and Trinidad Torres even though were part of the early crowd in Missouri Plaza some of their offspring are key to our layout. Daughter Saturnina married Senobio Padilla, daughter María married Jesús Sandoval, daughter Esiquia married José María Vega and son José married Lucinda Frésquez then Adelaida Garcia and finally Tiburcia Telles.
To transition to the 1880’s crowd, let’s take a look in greater detail at José Encarnación Padilla’s family. José was first married to Julianita Lucero whose father was one of the founders of Manzano; Julianita was previously married to Prudencio Torres and had a daughter that José raised. Her name was Casimira, she married first Juan Pablo Serna then Juan José Márquez (above) and finally Nicolas Perea; she had a relationship with Ologio Romero later she moved to Lincoln with her Perea and Romero kids and they became prominent citizens.
Casimra Torres (Padilla) de Perea
Julianita’s first son was Senobio Padilla who married Saturnina, next was Ysidro Padilla who married Catalina Giron, followed by ‘Lada Padilla who marred Tioflio Lalonde (Lalone).
Julianita’s last child was Teresa Padilla who married first, Lyon Phillipowski who worked at Fort Stanton; he was killed in a gunfight. She later married Sam Corbet, another well connected member of Lincoln society; she died shortly after and then Sam married Josefa Baca the daughter of Satunino Baca.
Finishing up José’s family, he and Polonia had a daughter, Manuela who married José Chávez and lived on the Salado. Polonia’s next daughter, Francisca married David McKinley and took over José’s Rancho when he died; she later married John Mack. Finally we come to José and Polonia’s adopted son Adan who Polonia lived with in her later years.
We will now visit Capt. Saturnino Baca who was considered by most to be the ‘Father of Lincoln County’. He and his wife Juana Chávez were Godparents for several of our families and friends to many of them. (This tale will be repeated in the “A Little History of Lincoln County” found in the Appendix.)
From: “MORE Tales of Tularosa” by Mrs. Tom Charles based on the work compiled by her late husband. Stories gathered for more than 25 yrs. before his death in 1943. Copyright 1961
“CAPTAIN SATURNINO BACA, one of Lincoln County’s most loved citizens, was the Father of the county. As a member of the Territorial Legislature in 1869 he sponsored a bill which created Lincoln County.
“The new county comprised seventeen million acres, or well over one—fifth of New Mexico’s total of seventy-eight million acres and was created largely out of Socorro county with portions of eastern Valencia and Doña Ana counties. It was bounded on the north by San Miguel and Valencia counties, on the west by Socorro and on the east and south by the state of Texas. Within these boundaries are the present day counties of Chaves, Curry, Eddy, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and parts of De Baca and Otero.
“Captain Baca was born in Cebolleta (Sevilleta), Valencia County, November 29, 1830, and attended a private school there. After rounding out a long life filled with stirring events, he passed away at old Lincoln in 1924, at the age of 94.
“Captain Baca often related how he managed to get his county division bill through the legislature. Thomas B. Catron, who later served as U. S. Senator from New Mexico, was then a rising young lawyer, living at Mesilla, and had been elected to the legislature from Doña Ana County. Catron had served with the Confederate army through the Civil War, but because he had never taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, he faced opposition in being seated in the legislature.
“Knowing Captain Baca’s chief interest in the legislature was to obtain creation of the new county Tom Catron asked him for help in getting himself seated, and promised in return to use his influence in getting the county bill passed.
“Baca told Catron to draw up his resolution for membership and that he would introduce it in the legislature. This passed unanimously, the clerk was called and Catron was sworn in immediately as a member.
“Catron, in return, introduced the Baca Bill creating Lincoln County, which also passed without opposition. Legislators suggested that it be named Baca County but Captain Baca modestly declined the honor, asking that it be named for the recently martyred President Abraham Lincoln. The county seat also was named for Lincoln. It had been previously known as Placita del Rio Bonito.
“Backing and assisting Saturnino Baca in his movement for the new county was a committee of prominent citizens seeking establishment of better law and order in southeastern New Mexico. The group included Lawrence G. Murphy, then post trader at Fort Stanton; William Brady, a retired army Major; Florencio Gonzales, a rancher, and Dr. J. H. Blazer, owner of Blazer’s Mill at Mescalero.
“The Governor appointed Major Brady as first sheriff of the new county; Dr. Blazer, Florencio Gonzales and Paul Dowlin as county commissioners; and Saturnino Baca was the first probate judge. There was no superintendent of schools appointed at that time as there were no schools. In addition to his service as probate judge Captain Baca later served four years as sheriff, also as county commissioner, and as a member of the State Penitentiary Commission.
“As a young man, in early Territorial days, Saturnino Baca was sent to California with a party of government surveyors assigned to survey a road through Arizona to California. His task was to count the miles traveled each day.
“Soon after his return the Civil War came. Anxious to serve his country, he offered his services to Governor Henry Connolly who commissioned him a First Lieutenant in Company E, First New Mexico Cavalry. The regiment was commanded by the famous Indian fighter Col. Christopher (Kit) Carson.
“In a short time Baca was promoted to the rank of Captain of the company and was at its head until he resigned from service in 1867. He took part in the Battle of Valverde on the Rio Grande when General Sibley, Confederate commander, defeated the Union forces under General Canby.
“‘I was not a captain then, but a sergeant,’ Captain Baca related in later years. ‘I arrived at Valverde at night with two hundred men when Colonel Pino said ‘Sergeant, have you run away?’ I said, ‘No, Colonel, I have stopped the ones that were running away’.
“ ‘In our party we lost 90 men, but the other side lost 300; our men were buried in coffins and the others just placed in trenches; they built trenches and put them there while others were fast falling into the river and remained there. This was one of the bloodiest battles of the war. The water from the river could not be distinguished from blood, it was so red.’
“After the Confederates were driven out of New Mexico and the troops were no longer needed to protect the principal towns, they were assigned to various army posts and were sent out after the Apaches and Navajos who were on the warpath in those days.
“Captain Baca was stationed at all the important posts in New Mexico, including Fort Stanton, Fort Wingate, Fort Marcy, and Fort Defiance in Arizona. After leaving the army he lived in Santa Fe, then moved to Placita del Rio Bonito as Lincoln was then called. Captain Baca lost his arm during the summer of 1889 when he received a bullet wound in his elbow which necessitated amputation. He was wounded in a dispute over cattle and sheep ranges. Someone fired at night into a tent in which he and another man were sleeping, apparently by someone who opposed Baca’s grazing his sheep on what was claimed to be cattle range.”

Now we will go through the 1880 crowd by families and see what we know about them.
Family 24- Joseph Swan was born about 1842 in Mississippi, his parents were born in Ireland. We know that he was in the Army at Ft. Stanon in 1870; after he finished his service he settled in Salado Flats. He made matches for a living and had hooked up with Manuela Herrera the deserted wife or significant other of William Miller.
Manuela Herrera was born about 1845 in Manzano; her parents were Julián Carrillo and Isabel (Ysabel) Herrera. She was apparently the ‘natural child’ of Isabel (which means her parents weren’t married.) Manuela was related to both José Padilla through marriage and to Polonia Herrera through family ties. She finally married Joseph Swan on 11 Mar 1902; the Santa Rita’s records show them both being from Tucson and the Padrinos were Isabel Peralta and Ylaria Padilla.
Family 25- Manuel Artiaga was born about 1865 in Anton Chico and he died before 1902.
Eloisa Miller was Manuela’s daughter, she was born about 1865.
Family 26- David McKinley was born about 1845 in Massachusetts. He apparently took over José Padilla’s dairy operation when he died, before 1880. David himself was killed in an accident a few years later.
Francisca Padilla was born in 1856 in Manzano she was the daughter of José Padilla and Polonia Herrera. She and David were married 16 Jul 1871, she later married John Mack.
Family 27- Polonia Herrera the widow of José Padilla. She was born in 1824 in Manzano, the daughter of Francisco Herrera and Francisca Ortega. Her sisters: Gertrudis, Lorenza, Juana and Liberada all married men who came to Lincoln County in the 1860s or early 1870s and were well established.
Adan Padilla was born in 1865 to Indian parents he was adopted by José and Polonia in 1866. He married Teodora Garcia about 1893.
Family 28- José Chaves y Baca was born in 1836 in New Mexico, the brother of Juana Chávez (wife of Saturnino Baca). He married Manuela on 14 Oct 1881, after she died he married Lola Sandoval the daughter of Jesús Sandoval y Seña and María Torres.
Manuela Padilla was the daughter of José Padilla and Polonia Herrera, born in 1850 in Manzano and died before 1890. José then married Margarita Padilla daughter of Jesús María Padilla, a different Padilla family.
Family 29- José de ‘Gracia’ Flores they lived nearer Lincoln in 1870. An interesting side note is their ages on the 1870 and 1880 Census’. His age is given as 40 yrs old on both, hers is given as 34 then 35 although she was actually 40 and 50; makes you wonder.
Lorenza Herrera born in 1830 in Manzano, was sister to Polonia Herrera. She was previously married to José María Torres.
Family 30- Eugenio Maldonado and Petra Flores, Petra was the daughter of Gracia and Lorenza Flores.
Family 31- José García and Tomasita Romero a few years later Tomasita died and he married Trinidad Chávez from Salado on 19 Jan 1887.
Family 32,33 &34- The original Census said, Para families, (the spelling isn’t clear on the record) however a little detective work and your editor figured it out. Family 34 is Eulogio Herrera nephew of Polonia Herrera and his family. The others are part of his extended family.
Family 35- Senobio Padilla was the son of José Padilla and Julianita Lucero, born in 1839 in Manzano. In 1870 they lived in Missouri Plaza.
Satrurnia Torres was the daughter of José Torres and Trinidad Chaves. She was born in 1845 in Manzano.
Family 36- Tioflio Lalonde was born in 1837 in Ogdensburg, New York on the St. Lawrence River but he always referred to himself as a Canadian.
Estanislada Padilla was the daughter of José Padilla and Julianita Lucero. She was born in 1846 in Manzano. She was raised by her uncle Ygnacio Guevara who finished his years in their household, he was living with them by 1885.
There must have been some construction in the area to have a carpenter as a boarder, although he may have worked at the Fort.
Family 37- Tomas Chaves and Florencia Trujillo seem obscure but perhaps there is a clue to who they are. They are found as Godparents to Joe Sánchez who married Addie Lalone.
José Sánchez and Francisco Guevara
Pilgrims is a term often applied to Anglo Pioneers headed west. Perhaps it is also an appropriate term for our intrepid folks in the Salado Tucson crowd. As they traveled down the roads that led into the Rio Bonito, filing in to take up their new home places; some to Salado Flats, some nearer to Lincoln and some to the far reaches of Missouri Plaza on the Hondo. They were truly Pilgrims, not knowing what the future would bring; to some stability, to others a stop along the way to hopefully brighter tomorrows.
To add to our Hispano heritage there was an increasing flow of Anglo Pilgrims. Starting with families like Heskill and “Ma’am” Jones, and Robert and Ellen Casey, in the years just after the Civil War. The trails west were full of families and single men looking for their El Dorado. The road west from Texas through Lincoln County was one of the two major trails from the south. From the east, and to the north of Lincoln County, Las Vegas on the Santa Fe Trail and in 1879, the terminus of the Railroad, added to the fold. The population steadily increased. The need for corn and beef for Fort Stanton and the Mescalero Reservation and the ever increasing Gold Fever flamed by a major strike in 1879 in White Oaks provided income.
The major village of Missouri Plaza only lasted five or six years (1866-1872) before the water gave out forcing its residents back up the Hondo, Ruidoso and Bonito Valleys. In the mid to late 1870s José and Polonia’s extended family had begun to coalesce around them. The 1880 residents of Salado Flats were almost all related to them.
To make the story of our Pilgrims complete we have to look a little beyond the Salado and Tucsons. To the west and south the Nogal Mining District attracted men both as miners and as farmer/ranchers. By 1880 there were the families of Jesús Sandoval, Pablo Pino and later José María Vega, to the west and north on the slopes of Vera Cruz Mountain, Juan Artiaga and wife Sabina and others on the slopes of Carrizo Peak (Carizito).
In 1885 the powers that be, decided to take another Census of the Territory including an Agricultural Census. The enumeration districts were a little different from the previous United States Census, as it happens one group of families matches very closely to our little study. So hopefully, not to put you to sleep, here is that list with notes and observations.
Taken from the pages for Precinct 11. This group appears to start on the lower slopes of Nogal Canyon and perhaps along the westward face of Vera Cruz Mountain and then back around to the Tucson Mountains and ending up in the upper Salado Flats. They are the springboard for the rest of our story.
Fam. 1- Vega, Jose M. (age 40) and Esiquia (28) Occ. Ranchman; Antonio (3) Florencio (2) Margarita (1) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 160 acres, about $3500 in total value which includes $2000 value of the property, buildings and fencing the livestock included 10 Milk Cows and 30 other cattle. José came to Lincoln from Mexico, perhaps as a teamster but settled in town and in 1880 was working as a Stonemason; as you can see, he must have done well for they have one of the larger spreads in our area.
Fam. 2- Ballejos, B. (49) Occ. Herder; Chavez, Jose (33) Boarder
Fam. 3- Chavez, Tomas (35) and Florencia, no Occupation - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as renting 160 acres, about $300 in total value which includes $100 value of the property and buildings the livestock 2 Milk Cows and 8 other cattle. They had no children, they seemed to get around Lincoln County; their Family Work Sheet, tells of their interaction with the community.
Fam. 4- Lanham, Peter (40) Occ. Miner, born in Indiana
Fam. 5- Torres, Jose (63) and Trinidad (53) Occ. Ranchman; Doroteo (16) “D” (male 9) Another Manzano family with long ties to the Padillas.
Fam. 6- Latti, Francisco (21) Occ. Ranchman, born in Switzerland; George, Joseph (29) Boarder, born in Italy - On the Agricultural Census he is shown as owning 40 acres, about $1050 in total value which includes $500 value of the property and building and improvements, the livestock include 1 Milk Cow and 25 other cattle. He was from Italy, in the 1900 Census it shows his wife Mary, also from Italy; she must have come out and joined him. We will see him again in the Godfather role.
Fam. 7- Gagne, Baptitste (42) Occ. Miner, born in France
Fam. 8- Torres, Jose Y. (40) Occ. Ranchman - On the Agricultural Census(Torres & Lucero), he is shown as owning 160 acres, about $2025 in total value which includes $500 in property and improvements; also including 10 Milk Cows and 70 other cattle. His father-in-law, Juan Lucero lived in San Patricio and José and his wife lived next to them in 1880. Studying their FWS, perhaps the family never moved to this section but José was only homesteading here to take advantage of the opportunities. He was another formed Manzanodero.
Fam. 9- Chavez, Cristoval (46) and Maria (36) Occ. Laborer; Ygnacia (16) Polidora (13) Damancio (7) - On the Agricultural Census (Torres &Chaves) they are shown as owning 160 acres, about $450 in total value which includes $200 in property and improvements as well as 5 head of cattle. Another family from the Manzano area that settled Missouri Plaza then the upper Hondo and finally came to this area and settled in.
Fam. 10- Stutz, Henry (33) and Sabina (28) Occ. Ranchman; Rebecca (4) Mary (1) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 40 acres, about $1070 in total value which includes $500 in property and improvements as well as 10 Milk Cows and 20 other cattle.
Fam. 11- Sandoval, Jose Jesús (43) and Maria (30) Occ. Ranchman; Isaac (16) Lenor (14) Lola (12) Josefa (8) Ben (6) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 160 acres, about $8230 in total value which includes $7000 in property, buildings and fencing as well as 4 Milk Cows and 60 other cattle. Jesús came to Lincoln with the 1st NM Cavalry at Ft. Stanton and married María in 1866, they lived in Missouri Plaza in 1870 and were settled in to their place in our foothills by 1880. Jesús must have been a good businessman, they have by far the most extensive spread in our group.
Fam. 12- Guevarra, Maria (42) head of household; Bisenta (16) Pilar (8) Victoriana (5) listed as daughters ? - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 40 acres, about $245 in total value which includes $50 in property and improvements as well as 1 Milk Cow and 4 others. María may have been married to a Juan Guevarra but has been hard to track. They are no apparent relation to the Ygnacio Guevara family.
Fam. 13- Romero, Doroteo (28) and Agapita (18) Occ. Ranchero; Beatriz (1) Doroteo lived in Lincoln with his family (Juan José Romero) in 1860 but apparently only just returned. Agapita’s last name was Guevarra, so no doubt she is Maria’s daughter.
Fam. 14- Herrera, Juan N. de (40 born in Mexico) and Luisa (36) Occ. Ranchero; Eugenia (10)
Fam. 15- Pino, Pablo (52) and Maria (35) Occ. Ranchero; Maria (7) Abel (4) Bonifacio (8) and Albino Barela (16 no rel. given) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 40 acres, about $630 in total value which included $500 in property and improvements and did not include any cattle. The Pinos were in Lincoln in 1873 when Saturnino and Juana Baca were godparents for their daughter, Josefita. They were on their ranch in the Tuscsons by 1880.
Fam. 16- Garcia, (Pablo?) Jose (39) and Tomasita (34) Occ. Ranchman; Francisco (15) Nicolcita (11) Domitila (8) Delila (5) Dorotea (2) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 40 acres, about $1170 in total value which includes $500 in property and improvements and included 14 Milk Cows and 18 other cattle.
Fam. 17- Miller, Abran (22) and Juana (19) Occ. Herder; Andrea (3) Dolorita (1) Manuela (40 mother) Julian (10 brother) Roberto (7 brother) Manuela was counted twice, once with the Millers and once with her brother; Fam. 21 below.
Fam. 18- Silva, Juan A. (48) and Petra (36) Occ. Rancher; Margarita (16) Ibbijen? (8) Manuelita (5) Enriquez (9) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 80 acres 40 of which were under cultivation, about $1125 in total value which includes $100 in property and improvements as well as12 Milk Cows and 25 other cattle.
Fam. 19- Herrera, Ologio (32) and Antonia Anastacia (32) Occ. Rancher; Polonia (3) Tely (male 1) Pedro Benividez (15 nephew) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 80 acres 40 of which were under cultivation, about $1930 in total value which includes $300 in property and improvements as well as 25 Milk Cows and 25 other cattle. Ologio’s father was killed in Lincoln in 1861, no doubt he returned with the rest of his kin; in 1873 he and Anastacia were married in Lincoln.
Fam. 20- Archuleta, (Lucio?)Luis (45) and Saralita (25) Occ. Herder; Perfecto (11) Esquipula (4) Liloaria? (1) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 80 acres 40 of which were under cultivation, about $750 in total value which includes $200 in property and improvements as well as 10 Milk Cows.
Fam. 21- Herrera, Jose (38) and Antonia (21) Occ. Rancher; Gregorio (2) Manuela (40 sister) Jose (5 nephew) Isaac (born in May, Nephew) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 80 acres 40 of which were under cultivation, about $1930 in total value which includes $500 in property and buildings also 25 Milk Cows and 45 other cattle. Joseph Swan is absent from this Census, perhaps he was out Cowboyin. José Herrera is a bit of an enigma, but if we take what the Enumerator wrote a face value it makes sense; especially give the relationships of the Manzano folks, Herreras, Padillas and Carillos.
Fam. 22- Padilla, Senobio (54) and Saut (40) Occ. Rancher; __? (male 12) Severo (9) Bonifacio (7) Juliana (5) Lola (3) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 80 acres of which 40 were under cultivation, about $1525 in total value which includes $500 in property and improvements and 60 cattle. José Encarnación’s son; in 1873 his brother, Ysidro and three others were gunned down by the Horrell Brothers at a wedding dance in Lincoln.
Fam. 23- Chavez, Jose (40) and Margarita (20) Occ. Rancher; Maria (2?) Ygnacia (10) Saturnino (6) - On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 80 acres which includes 40 under culitaion, about $350 in total value $200 in property and improvements, no cattle.

28 thru 59 seem to be part of a mining operation plus a few farmers that don’t seem to fit our story. With one exception:
Fam. 55- Padilla, A. (21) Occ. Rancher, Polonia (60 Mother) and Emiliano (13 brother) – This appears to be José Padilla’s original spread. The Census taker reported it a little goofy; Adan was the head and Emiliano, was Emiliano McKinley, Francisca’s son and Polonia’s grandson. On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 80 acres, about $750 in total value which includes $400 in property, buildings and fencing and inculeds 10 Milk Cows.
Tioflio Lalonde (Lalone) and his family were living up toward the Nogal Mesa in 1885. On the Agricultural Census they are shown as owning 160 acres of which 20 were under cultivation, about $2940 in total value which includes $2000 worth of property, buildings and fencing; his livestock included 4 Milk Cows and 40 other cattle. In the late 1890s they would move down to White Oaks.
To set the tenor for the next section we will listen to the words of one of our residents:
This is an interview of Abran Miller, conducted in 1938 by Edith L. Crawford for the WPA Writers Project. Some minor modifications were made to this document for clarity, ed.
“I was born in February, 1863 (I do not know the date) at Manzano, New Mexico. I have lived in Lincoln County, New Mexico, continuously for sixty-four years.
“My father, William (Julián) Miller, was born in Canada. I do not know where nor in what year. My mother, Manuelite Herrera Carrillo, was born in Manzano, New Mexico, but I do not know what year she was born.
“My father and mother married in Manzano, New Mexico, in 1869. There were five children, three boys and two girls. Debbie, Abran, Willie, Eliza and Adolpho Miller. My father was a blacksmith by trade and where-ever we lived he had a shop of his own. We lived in Manzano New Mexico, for about four years.
“In the fall of 1863 we moved to Springer, New Mexico, where we lived for seven years. Father put up a blacksmith shop and took two hundred head of cattle to run on shares and he built up the herd until he had about one hundred head of his own. We left Springer in 1870, in two covered wagons, drawn by six oxen to each wagon. We took our cattle, about one hundred head with us. We traveled most of the time at night on account of being afraid of the Indians. The only cow boy that I remember helping us, was my mother's brother, my uncle, Pat Carrillo. I used to ride behind him. He would strap me to his waist to keep me from falling off. The men in the crowd carried six shooters in their belts and Winchester rifles on their saddles. We had no trouble making the trip to Fort Sumner in about two weeks.
“We lived in Fort Sumner New Mexico until 1874. Father had a blacksmith shop there too. His herd of cattle increased to about two hundred and seventy five head. In the early spring of 1874 he decided to move to Fort Stanton, New Mexico.
“We loaded up in the two covered wagons, drawn by six oxen to a wagon, and started for Fort Stanton, which was a military post at that time.
“We crossed the Pecos River at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, and had no trouble crossing the cattle. We grazed the cattle along and took our time and made the trip for Fort Stanton in about two weeks. We lived there for about three years. My brother, Adolpho, was born there and lived only a short time. He died and was buried there at Fort Stanton. My father was blacksmith for the fort.
“My father rented a small piece of land from A. N. Blazer, who owned and ran the Blazer Mill, which was situated on the Mescalero Indian Reservation. I do not remember just when we moved to this place on the Indian Reservation. The place had a two roomed log house on it, where we lived. My father still had his cattle and he had them on Fernando Herrera's place on the Ruidoso.
“Father set up a blacksmith shop, planted a garden and about twenty acres in corn. He made a good crop and when he gathered it in the fall he sent word for me to come home. I had been staying with my uncle, Pat Carrillo, who lived not very far away on the Reservation. When I got home my father said; ‘Son, here is my crop and my blacksmith shop, you can sell them. Take care of your mother, I am going away and you will not see me anymore.’ He left that day on horseback. He went by Dowlin's Mill and sold his cattle to Paul and Will Dowlin, took the money and left the country.
“Soon after my father went away I went to work for the Murphy Dolan Company, punching cows. I was about seventeen years old. The head quarter ranch house was on the Carrizozo Flats, at what is now the Bar W ranch.
“After my father left my mother moved to the Solado Flats, about one mile west of where the town of Capitan now stands.
“When my father had been gone for about four years I got a letter from him one day. He was over on the Rio Grande River, at a place called Casa Colorado, about eighteen miles south of Belen, New Mexico. He wanted me to come over there to see him, so I saddled up my black pony and started. I took me two days to make the trip. When I arrived, I found my father in his blacksmith shop, he said; ‘Hello son, I am glad you came. I want you to have a black stallion I have here, and you can also have this blacksmith shop. I am leaving this time and you will never see me again.’ He turned and started walking toward the river. I never did see or hear of him from that day to this, nor ever found anybody else that ever saw him after that day. My father was always a very queer man and brooded a lot.
“I was very small for my age and when I first went to work for the Murphy, Dolan Company. I got my clothes and board and Mr. Murphy gave forty dollars to my mother, each month. I soon made them a good cow hand and then I got sixty dollars a month.
They sent me with a bunch of cattle to Elk Canyon, in the Mescalero Indian Reservation. These cattle were to be butchered for the Indians as they needed them. A fellow by the name of Lucio Montoya and I were left to watch the cattle and keep the Indians from stealing them. One morning we got up and it was Lucio's time to go and get the horses. We kept a small black mule in the corral to ride after the saddle horses. While Lucio was saddling up the mule I was looking around to see if I could see anything of the horses.
All at once I saw an awful dust rising and I told Lucio to hurry up as I feared someone was rounding up either the cattle or the saddle horses.
“He rode off in a run. I waited for some time and he did not return. I had just about decided that he had been killed, and I went back to the cabin. I was standing in the door of the cabin when about thirty men rode up to the door. The leader was a nice looking young fellow. He said ‘Hello kid, do you have anything to eat?’
“I said, ‘Yes, there is coffee, beans, flour and some canned goods, you are welcome to it, but you will have to cook it yourselves. I have to go and get my horses and see what has become of Lucio.’
“The leader of this gang was ‘Billy the Kid.’ I did not know it at the time as this was just the beginning of the trouble leading up to the ‘Lincoln County War’. This war was between two cattle factions. Murphy and Dolan on one said and McSween and Tunstall on the other.
“Billy the Kid saw I was just a kid and was scared and he said; ‘Kid don't be afraid for not a man in the crowd will hurt you nor bother anything around here while you are in charge of it.’ They all got down from their horses and came in. I helped them make some coffee. While we were waiting for the coffee to boil Billy the Kid asked me all about myself, how old I was, where I live, etc. After they had eaten they all rode off toward the head of Elk Canyon.
“I started out a-foot to find the horses and soon found them. The mule that Lucio had started after the horses on was with them but I could not find Lucio. I soon saw that a horse of Lucio's was gone and I just decided that he had gotten frightened and left.
I found out later that this gang of men were with the McSween and Tunstall faction but they never bothered me at all.
“While my mother was living on the Salado, Billy the Kid came to our house for something to eat. This was after the time he had been to the camp at Elk's Canyon. He recognized me at once and I did him. My mother did not want to feed him because he was not on Murphy's side at that time. I told her how nice he had been to me that time at Elk's Canyon, so she gave him something to eat and let him stay all night. I got up early the next morning and went out to milk the cow. While I was milking the dogs began to bark. I saw several men riding horseback, coming towards the house. I did not have time to warn Billy that someone was coming but he and mother saw them. Mother had a big home-made packing box she used for a trunk and it had a pad lock on it. She hid Billy in this box before the men reached the house. (This was after Bernstein had been killed. Bernstien was the clerk at the Mesaclero Indian Agency, and Billy had been indicted for this killing, and was on the dodge.)
“When I reached the house I found that the men were Sheriff Peppin and Florencio Chaves, his deputy, and two other men. (I have forgotten their names.) They were looking for Billy. They searched the house but did not find him. Peppin came out in the yard and asked who the black horse with the saddle on belonged to. I told him it was my horse. He wanted to know why I kept a horse saddled and staked out. I told him I kept the horse to go round up the other horses. He did not believe me. I know, for he said to one of his men that Billy the Kid should be around there somewhere. When he did not find Billy they rode away. The Kid stayed in our house all that day and when it got dark Mother asked me to let Billy have my black horse and saddle, as she thought that he would return them to me. I did, and sure enough, in about ten days I got up one morning and found my horse, with the saddle on, in the corral. I never did know who brought him back. I was surely glad, for I thought an awful lot of this horse and I was so afraid that Billy would not get him back to me. I had traded with the Apache Indians for this horse. I had given about ten dollars worth of red flannel, beads and powder for him.
“When Billy the Kid and his gang had killed Bernstein, a clerk at the Indian Agency, Mr. L. O. Murphy, (of the Murphy, Dolan Company), sent me to Santa Fe, New Mexico, with the message to the governor. I rode this same black horse. I had to go first to Fort Stanton to see the commanding officer. I got there about three o'clock in the morning. The guard stopped me but when I told him what I wanted to see the commanding officer about, he took me to the officer's house. This officer gave me another message and a fresh horse and I started for Santa Fe. I rode to Piños Wells, on the north side of the Gallinas Mountains, that night. I knew a fellow there, by the name of Mario Payne, and he let me have a fresh horse, and I made it on to Santa Fe on the third day.
“When I went in to see Governor Axtell, and deliver my messages to him he was mad because they had sent such a kid. He asked me why Pat Carrillo had not sent his own son, as he was larger and older than I was. He also told me to tell Mr. Murphy to give me three hundred dollars for that trip, and if Mr. Murphy didn't do it, he would. I got my three hundred dollars from Mr. Murphy all right.
“That is the only part that I took in the Lincoln County War, although I was working for the Murphy, Dolan Company all during the war. I stayed at the head quarters ranch on the Carrizozo Flats most of the time.
“I saved up about six hundred dollars while I was working for the Murphy, Dolan Company, and on February 12, 1881, I married Juanita Romero, the daughter of Juan Romero, Of Lincoln, New Mexico. There was no priest in Lincoln at that time and I had to send to Manzano, New Mexico, to get a priest to marry us.
“Father Louis Bourdier came over from Manzano and married us and I paid him twenty-five dollars to make the trip. We went to housekeeping in Lincoln and I still worked for Murphy and Dolan. My wife and I had five children, three girls and two boys. They were all born at Lincoln, New Mexico; Andres, Lucio, Susanna, Trinidad and Manuela. All of our children are dead except Andres, the oldest one. He is married and lives in Roswell, New Mexico. My wife and I have been separated for a number of years. She lives with Andres, in Roswell.
“I live here in Carrizozo, New Mexico, and would not live anywhere else. My little one room shack is on the old head quarters ranch place where I used to cut out all the strays from the herd.” Abran Miller, Carrizozo, New Mexico, Aged 75 years.
This section is an attempt to show relationships and historical perspective. It is not a detailed genealogical account but a review of friends and family, people that were important; e.g. Padrinos and Madrinas, Godparents and wedding sponsors. Some things were missed, some were skipped and some I don’t have.
During the Spanish era there were strict rules about who could sponsor what; as the world changed the rules eased up but none the less Church documents generally indicate who is near and dear. In Hispano society Godparents were expected to look after children if something happened to the parents, it was a serious event; also the Godparents often brought the child to the Baptism while the mother was recuperating.
Lacking a 1890 Census and given the dynamic nature of Lincoln County during this era the records can give an indication of where our families might have lived and who they might have associated with, ed.
The Vega Rancho site, 1957
Jesús María Padilla Jr. the son of Jesús María Padilla Sr. and Sostena Carillo married Esiquia Sandoval the daughter of Jesús Sandoval y Seña and María Torres about 1879 or 1880.
White Oaks was officially founded on 15 Aug 1879 after a gold strike on the Homestead Claim, it was a long way from anywhere with the exception of our little area of interest just to the southeast.
Margarite Vega was born in Jan 1880 to José María and Siquia Vega. She was baptized on 2 Feb 1885 at Nogal (Vera Cruz) her godparents were Cayetano Jaramillo and Dolores Lucero. She married Fred Lalone.
It might be interesting to note the names of places in Church Records weren’t necessarily in the specific town or community, the Priest often wrote down the name of the general area in which the ranch or other site was located. In the case of the Vegas, their ranch was associated with Nogal but actually was more on the slopes of Vera Cruz Mountain; which the Priest recorded. (See the maps, previous) As things developed, towns and villages as well as several ranches built chapels for the Priest to use.
Antonio Lalonde was born 2 Jun 1880 to Tioflio and Lada Lalonde he died as an infant. He was baptized 6 Aug 1880 at Salado. His godparents were Demetrio Perea and Dolores Phillipowski.
Juliana Padilla was born 29 Oct 1880 to Senobio and Saturnina Padilla there was no baptismal date given. Her godparents were José Padilla and Apolonia Herrera. She married Julián Serna on 28 Jan 1897.
Pat Garrett was elected Sherriff of Lincoln County in Nov 1880. On 23 Dec 1880 he and a posse captured Billy the Kid at Stinking Springs near Ft. Sumner.

Within a year or so after Rebeca’s birth her father died. Henry Stutz, a neighbor and Savina, her mother got together.
Abran Miller the son of William Miller and Manuelita Herrera married Juanita Romero the daughter of Juan Romero and Melquiades Chaves on 12 Feb 1881.

Adelaida Herrera was baptized 15 Feb 1881 at Lincoln; her parents were Ologio and Anastacia Herrera. Her godparents were David McKinley and Francisca Padilla.
In Lincoln on 28 Apr 1881 Billy the Kid as he was breaking out of jail, shot Deputies Ollinger and Bell. He borrowed a horse and with the leg iron still attached to one leg, rode westward out of town. In a couple of miles he turn up Salazar Canyon and then up Padilla Canyon to the ranch of his friends José María and Sostena Padilla. _Padilla,_Jesus_Maria_1 Here they helped him remove the shackle and he was on his way. José was no relation to our José Encarnión Padilla but his family fits into our story.
Emma Padilla was born on 13 Jun 1881 to Jesús María Jr. and Esiquia Padilla. She was baptized 5 Aug 1881 in White Oaks. Her godparents were Esiquia’s parents, Jesús Sandoval and María Torres.
Another family, just to add to the confusion, was the family of José León and Nestora Padilla. His father was a brother of Jesús María Padilla Sr. They had come to Lincoln County a few years earlier with Nestora’s family, perhaps they influenced the Jesús María Sr. family to come as well.
María Antonia Padilla was born on 13 Jun 1881 to José Leon and Nestora, she was baptized on 29 Jun 1881. Her godparents were Eusebio Chávez and Crispina García
At Ft. Sumner, up the Pecos River, on 15 Jul 1881 Billy the Kid was killed by Pat Garrett and the turmoil of the “Lincoln County War” was over.
At this point we should meet Refugia Ortiz whose husband Manuel Leal was killed by Indians on their ranch down in La Luz Canyon. It appears that the Apache Chief Vitorio had decided to break out of the Mescalero Reservation about this time and subsequently butchered a few people along the way. She then married Francisco Baca and then Guillermo Uderos.
This leads to another clan, the family of José María and Francisca de Aguayo.
Don de Aguayo was living in Lincoln in 1870 and practicing law, they moved down the Alamo Canyon. Francisca’s brother, James Hill had a promising ranch there and it seemed a good opportunity. Alamo Canyon and La Luz Canyon are near each other at the south end of the Mescalero’s Reservation, up above present day Alamogordo. When the Indian business got too messy the Aguayo’s moved back to Lincoln by 1880 and eventually settled in Texas Park.
Benito Vega was born about 1881 to José María and Siquia Vega. He later married Lucila Augayo.

Florencio Vega was born June 1882 to José María and Siquia Vega. He would marry Juanita Uderos.
Meanwhile, around the Mountain, to the north:
“Morris B. Parker's family was amongst the new wave of 'miners' hoping to strike it rich at White Oaks during the summer of 1882. (Morris wrote a book called “White Oaks” detailing his young life there.) Coming from all over the country, people flocked to the small valley, claiming whatever areas they could… in hope of finding that one special spot. Parker's family relocated from St. Louis in what he describes as a 'new start.’ His father, Erasmus Wells Parker, had managed to purchase the South Homestake in 1881, yet knowing almost nothing about mining. Returning to St. Louis, Parker gathered his family, convinced his wife of the opportunities, and headed for White Oaks in 1882.
“After making the trip to Las Vegas by train, the family of five had to make the last 175 miles to White Oaks by buggy. This was no easy feat for the toughest of families, for there was the constant threat of Indian attack, dehydration, or simply getting lost. Luckily for the Parkers, they did not meet up with any Indians and made the journey to their new home with relative ease.” From “White Oaks Foundation to Fadeout” by Max R. Turner.

aka. Ma. Concepción Estrada she was baptized 16 Dec 1883 in Nogal. Her godparents were Manuel Trujillo and Ma. Romualda Trujillo. Perhaps her father was not Henry Stutz. She would marry Roberto Miller-Swan
The Priest traveled to the communities, from the 1860s to the early 1880s he traveled down from Manzano; no small feat in a buggy or by horseback and the threat of Indian attack. At a pace of about 25 miles a day distances were considerable.

It wasn’t all babies and baptisms, an unhappy event unfolded in White Oaks:
“This fire, the greatest in the town’s history, struck the Old Abe on March 9, 1895. A kerosene lamp exploded in the hoist house, sending flammable liquid all over the wooden frames of the mine. The place was turned into a mass of fire, killing nine of the twenty men who were working underground at the time. The men were below the surface, almost 800 feet down.
“When the station tender noticed the disaster on hand, he quickly summoned to his fellow miners and they began the long climb towards safety up the vertical shaft. Climbing up a vertical ladder is not easy, even under normal circumstances. With the pressures of depleting oxygen and sheer exhaustion, it's a wonder that eleven men were able to make it out at all.
“It took the townspeople two days to extinguish the flames. In a heroic effort, White Oaks, both men and women, fought against the terrible fire with all of the strength and water they could muster. Tents were set up outside the mine for the weary as well as coffee and meals. Most men, however, refused to stop their efforts, for there were friends trapped inside. All of the town efforts went for nothing as the nine bodies were carried out one by one after the flames were extinguished. It was a heavy and sad day for White Oaks.” From “White Oaks Foundation to Fadeout” by Max R. Turner.

Fannie (Epifania) Lalone was a typical girl of her era. This little side story is an effort to shed some light on our young ladies of the time.
Fannie’s father, Tioflio LaLonde, was a hard working immigrant from French Canada who worked his way west in the 1860s. He left Kingston, Ontario in 1857 after working on the St. Lawrence River, first as a mate and then as a Captain; he was on the trail west in 1860 at O’Fallon’s Bluff, Nebraska in the company of a French trader and a couple of Spanish men. In the mid 1860s he became associated with the folks from Manzano, no doubt because of his trading connections.
Fannie’s mother, Estaislada “Lada” Padilla was raised by her uncle, Ygnacio Guevara, an Españole from Mexico who mined on Ortiz Mountain above Albuquerque. Ygancio later settled in Manzano with his family and Lada. They lived very near Lada’s father, José Encarnación Padilla and his family.
About 1867 everybody was in Missouri Plaza in what would become Lincoln County and Lada and Tioflio were married. Tioflio was associated with the Casey Ranch on the Hondo and eventually they lived on Magado Creek where Fannie was born in 1876. Fannie’s childhood was typical of rural kids in New Mexico in those days. Play and work, no toys to play with except imagination and not many conveniences to work with to make thing easy. She went to about Third Grade in Nogal, she could read and write; in her later years she went to Protestant Churches which used English but read her Bible in Spanish.
Andy Fowler, Amanda Eaker, Fannie Lalone
As a young lady she had her circle of friends some of which grew up with her (Amada Eaker near the Lalones in 1885); she was involved in family and Church related events, being a Godmother for several children. In 1897 she and her cousin, Juan Perea, were Padrinos at José Romero and Barbara McViegh’s wedding. Usually Padrinos had some family relationship to someone in the Wedding Party; it appears that Fannie might have been a cousin of José’s.
When she was about 19, her family sold their farm up towards Nogal and moved to White Oaks. Fannie got a job working in the household of the man who owned the Old Abe Mine.
A perfect time for a youg lady to move to town; plenty of social doin’s and lots of young men, a girls dream.
Fannie
After the chores were done; the laundry (by hand), feed the animals (there were still animals in town), do the sewing and whatever mother needed. She could have some time off.
Young people then as now liked to get around of course but it was a bit of a different proposition then, a 10 or 15 miles horseback ride may take a good part of the day and a buggy or wagon ride would take much longer. On the farm or ranch if she wanted to go visiting, a girl would have to saddle her own horse or hitch up her own buggy just to go out.
The Lalonde’s, like many of the families of the era didn’t have much and depending on circumstances they might not eat regularly. Life was a dicey propostion but play and work went hand-in-hand, Fannie got in plenty of both.
The girls of our story had the same giggles and insecurities as today but lived in a more demanding environment.

This little excerpt is taken from Ruth Birdsong’s book “Tracks North” From our introduction, in case you were asleep when we passed by:
“The Capitan Mountains are one of the few mountain ranges in the United States that runs East and West. In 1884 Seaborn Gray homesteaded on Salado Flats and put up a small store. A Post Office was established in 1894 and he was appointed Postmaster, naming it Gray for himself. In January 1899 the El Paso & Northeastern Railway built a branch line into Gray and changed the name to Capitan. The town incorporated in 1941. The railroad reached there on September 29, 1899.
“Coal miners came from Pennsylvania (beginning in 1897); they were imported to work the Salado Coal Fields. The first carload of coal was shipped from there September 30, 1899. At first the fields gave every promise of being practically inexhaustible; but soon afterwards, as operations progressed and the pits dug deeper, the coal veins were found to be badly broken by underground faults and dikes. The veins narrowed between solid rock walls so that extraction of the coal became more and more difficult and expensive…
“Due to the veins ‘pinching out’ mining at the Salado Coal Fields had to be abandoned. With this main source of rail traffic eliminated, the budding enterprise was finished. By May 1, 1901, there was no more use in pretending that the stoppage of work in the Salado mines was of a temporary nature. The coal field was abandoned and the machinery was pulled out of the mines…”

As we look at housing today our view is very different from what our forbearers experienced. When Birda Lacey was born in Carrizozo she was born in a tie house, made from railroad ties and canvas.
When her grandfather and great-grandfather came to the Salado they lived in small places built of adobe or perhaps when they were getting started, in jacals, small structures made of poles stuck upright in the ground, laced together with vines or branches and then plastered, with a pole and mud roof. One other common option was a chosa, a dugout into the side of a hill with the front built up out of adobes or logs, and a pole and mud roof. Of course none of these would have board floors, just packed earth, wet down and swept daily.

From the ‘Southwest Outlook’ 4 Jun 1909:
“I wish to explain to the people of Carrizozo the design and plans of the fair grounds I have built. It cost considerable money to fence the forty acres of ground and to build a half-mile track and a baseball diamond, and I am collecting 40 percent of the gate money for all games pulled off in the fair grounds, and as soon as there is enough money collected from such games I will build a grand stand for the accommodation of the people.
“But at any time the people of Carrizozo wish to use the grounds for any purpose in which they do not charge admission, I would be very much pleased to donate the use of the grounds.
“I have adopted this plan to avoid going to the already well drained Business men of our town begging for money.
“When the town becomes large enough we can form a fair association and take over the grounds.
Very respectfully, Peter E. Lacey”

Down on the New Mexico - Mexico Border thing were happening:
“In the middle of the night on March 9, 1916, life in Columbus, New Mexico changed dramatically. At 1:00 A.M., between 500 and 600 Mexican revolutionaries, led by General Francisco ‘Pancho’ Villa, crossed the border into the United States. Villa divided his troops and attacked Columbus from the southwest at approximately 4:20 am. This attack caught the entire town, as well as the army camp, by surprise.
“The Villistas concerned themselves more with raiding than killing, otherwise the town might have been erased. That morning majority of the destruction of the town came from the burning and pillaging of the business district. Surprisingly, the army camp and stables received little damage, even though the horses and armaments must have been attractive to the raiders. Alerted by the gunfire and burning buildings, many Columbus residents fled to the desert, or sought refuge in the school house, the Hoover Hotel, or private homes. The noise and fire sealed the fate of the raiding Mexican Army. U.S. Army officers and soldiers, awakened by the commotion, set up a Benet-Mercier machine gun in front of the Hoover Hotel and produced a murderous rain of bullets. Another machine gun set up on East Boundary Street fired north and caught anyone in the intersection of Broadway and East Boundary in a deadly crossfire. The raid lasted until dawn, or approximately one and a half hours. By this time, the death toll totaled 70 to 75 Villistas. In addition, during the attack on Columbus, eighteen Americans, mostly civilians, died.” From the NM State University web site.

The WW I Draft
From the internet, by Warren Blatt:
“Over twenty-four million American men registered for the draft for the First World War in 1917 and 1918. There were three draft registrations, which included all men residing in the U.S. -- whether native born, naturalized, or alien -- between the ages of 18 and 45.
“The resulting registration cards can be a good source of genealogical information. The information included on each registration differs somewhat, but generally includes full name, date and place of birth, race, citizenship, occupation, personal description, and signature.
Refugia Ortiz’s son, Longino Leal
“On May 18, 1917, the Selective Service Act was passed, authorizing the President to temporarily increase the military establishment of the United States. The Selective Service System was responsible for the process of selecting men for induction into the military service, from the initial registration to the actual delivery of men to military training camps. Under the office of the Provost Marshal General, the Selective Service System was made up of 52 state offices (one for each of the 48 states; the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico; and the District of Columbia), 155 district boards, and 4648 local boards. These organizations were responsible for registering men, classifying them, considering needs for manpower in certain industries and agriculture, as well as family situations of the registrants; handling appeals of these classifications; determining the medical fitness of individual registrants; determining the order in which registrants would be called; calling registrants; and placing them on trains to training centers.
“During World War I there were three registrations:
The first, on June 5, 1917, was for all men between the ages of 21 and 31.
The second, on June 5, 1918, registered those who attained age 21 after June 5, 1917. (A supplemental registration was held on August 24, 1918 for those becoming 21 years old after June 5, 1918. This was included in the second registration.)
The third registration was held on September 12, 1918 for men aged 18 through 45.
“At each of the three registrations, a different form was used, with a slight variation of questions asked. All three registrations include full name, home address, exact date of birth, age in years, occupation, name and address of employer, citizenship status, citizen of what country, race, eye color, hair color, height, build, city/county and state of the local draft board, date of registration, and signature of applicant.”

These Family Work Sheets are part of your editor’s collection. Most of the birth and marriage stuff came from the Tomé, Manzano or Santa Rita (Lincoln County) Church Records; plus what I could gather. There is considerable information missing, if you have any that you would like to share; please send it to me at: richeastwood@hotmail.com
The date following each family group title is when we first see them as couple in Lincoln County; the word Ante (antepasados or ancestors) are folks that predate the Lincoln County experience. These terms don’t mean anything significant except to give a point of reference.

Notes: José Carrillo was profiled briefly in the book, Indeh by Eve Ball. He was a scout and translator for the US Government on the Mescalero Apache reservation for many years. He, his Apache wife "Charlie" and their children were well known and well liked on the reservation. However the story he told people about his life wasn't totally on the level. The biggest omission was that José had another wife and family in the town of Lincoln and for many years traveled between the two families. He had originally arrived in Lincoln from Manzano, NM in 1872 to farm land owned by Julián (William) Miller. His wife, Nicanora Márquez who has been called a curandera or healer, came with him.
Excerpt from an e-mail from Annette Wasno
Nicanora was the granddaughter of Lorenza Salas and Juan Gonzales, Lorenza was José Encarnación Padilla’s mother.

Notes:
Here's the story on Benigno. I'm very sure of his parentage. I know it looks strange on paper but here it goes. Natividad Peralta is the sister of Catalina Peralta. When Natividad went to stay with her sister during her sister's pregnancy, she had relations with her sister's husband Felix Gonzales. My mother says the relationship was not consensual but who would know that except the parties involved. Anyway, Natividad became pregnant with Benigno. She later married Jose Flores and they lived near Albuquerque where Jose and Natividad had other children. Benigno remained close with his half siblings. I have pictures of his Flores family. So where did the Gallegos name come from since his mother was a Peralta. He was given his Grandmother's maiden name. Until I was told this story when I began my research, I was lead to believe that Benigno was illegitimate and that his father was unknown. It is very clear that Benigno was a Peralta from the pictures, captions, and stories my mother tells. Benigno refered to the Peraltas as family members. Now I suppose it is possible that the supposed unknown father was some other Gallegos male who never married Natividad but this family was way too specific on details to be ignored. I am curious to know what you think.

Refugia Ortiz
Daughter of Encarnación Ortiz and Eracensia Gregoyon (Crecencia Irigoyen).
Born in 1859 in Mexico
Died 1917, buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Carrizozo
Married (1): Manuel Leal
Manuel was born in Mexico. He was killed on his ranch by Indians 1880-81. Their ranch was in the La Luz Canyon area south of Lincoln Co.
The children of Refugia and Manuel:
José de la Luz Leal 1871- Jun 1900
Died of a gunshot wound in a bar in White Oaks, buried Cedarvale Cemetery
Julián Leal 1872-1938 married Carrie Lalone (Lalonde)
Jesusita Leal 1874-1922 married Frank Salazar then Francisco Guevara
Dolores Leal 1878-
Lonjino Leal 1889-
Calandaria Leal 1880
Married (2): Francisco Baca 23 Sep 1882
From the Tularosa Church records:
Refugia Ortiz, widow of Augstin Duran (?), daughter of Encarnación Ortiz married Francisco Baca, widower of Refugio López. Witnesses, Reducino Duran and Venceslado Domíquez; Padrinos, Emeterio Prado and Inez Martínez. There are a couple of problems with this record. How did Agustin Duran and Co. get into the picture and who was Francisco? There was a Francisco that was a close neighbor of the Leal’s if his wife died or was killed at the same time as Manuel he would be a candidate, however his wife is listed in the Census as Perfeta Gracía… another mystery. However he was also reported to have been killed by Indians which fits. Francisco Baca is a common name but I couldn’t find another one in the 1880 Census of Otero Co. and La Luz was pretty remote, ed.
A children of Refugia and Francisco:
Prudencia Baca b. abt. 1882, married Jesús María Gutiérrez
Eufemia Baca b. abt. 1885, married Alejandro Aguayo,
A picture in this collection of Eufemia, says she is the sister of Jesucita

Notes: From an e-mail from Annette Wasno
Teresa Carrillo married George Sena in 1885. George had moved to Lincoln from Las Vegas, NM in about 1883. He arrived as a teenager with his father Jose Ygnacio Sena and his mother Agapita Ortiz. Following the tradition of his ancestors, Jose Ygnacio established a blacksmithing business in Lincoln. The business and family home were located between the Torreon and what is now called the Tunstall store. By the time he was 21 George got work as a translator for the Lincoln County probate court. He continued in a life of public service as County Clerk, Tax Collector, Deputy Sheriff, and Sheriff. But only two years into his four year term as Sheriff, his bond was revoked by the individuals who had posted it. Because he was unable to raise the money to post bond for himself, he was removed from office and succeeded by Emil Fritz (II, nephew of the Emil Fritz of the Lincoln County War). So far I've been unable to learn why the bond was revoked, but I do know George continued to work for the county in various capacities until he moved his family to Santa Rosa, NM in 1906. Once in Santa Rosa, he served Guadalupe County as County Clerk, Court and Senate Interpreter, Superintendent of Schools, Prohibition Agent and--you guessed it!--Sheriff.
