Cruz Valencia (1824-1901) Pablo Barbero (Rodriguez)

Pablo Barbero (Rodriguez) and Cruz Valencia (child of José Valencia and Maria Tomasa Riberia) who was born in about 1824 in Santa Fe and died December 28, 1901 in Santa Fe. They raised Alcaria.

According to the New Mexico Marriages of Santa Fe and the Military Chapel of Our Lady of Light p. 214 on December 16, 1844, Pablo Rodriguez, single son of Mariano Rodrigues and Soledad Moya married Maria de la Crus Valencia, single daughter of Tomasa Valencia of this city (frames 924-25).

Page 150 of the same shows the marriage of Mariano Rodrigues and Maria de la Soledad Moya on January 28, 1821 (frame 554).

Leroy Garcia has written to me: "I was going through some of my old records and was reading the information in 'Rancho Pancho'. I have a copy of the record of the marriage of Ramon Ribera with Matiana Ortega on 10 February 1858. The father of Ramon is given as "el difunto" Miguel Ribera and Tomasa Valencia. AASF # 89.... Miguel Ribera must have been born before or about 1828. This would also explain why Tomasa also went by the Ribera name in some other church records.... There is a Miguel Ribera listed in the Santa Fe Census for 1823 married to Juana Garcia, his age is 46 and his wife is 40. He is listed as a carpenter. They are the 71st household and Maria Francisca Ortiz and Jose Eldifonso Ortiz was living in the 82nd household with their father Antonio Ortiz. Miguel Ribera could have married a second time to Tomasa Valencia before 1858."

The 1850 Territorial Census (p. 164) for Santa Fe, Sheet 367, December 28th shows this:

• Pablo Barbero, a 30 year old male, born in NM;
• Cruz, a 25 year female, born in NM;
• Miguel, a 4 year male, born in NM;
• Manuel, a 3 year old male, born in NM;
• Pedro, a 5 month old male, born in NM;
• Tomasa Valencia, 50 year old female, born in NM.

According to Paul Hill's notes Pablo Barbero was a carpenter.

The Santa Fe Baptisms book 1851-1871 (LDS 0016894) p. 113 gives a baptism for three day old Maria Amada Barvero, baptized on September 13, 1852. Her father is Pablo Barvero, son of Mariano Barvero and Leonor Tafoya. Her mother is given as Cruz Valencia, parents unknown.

On p. 274, there is a baptism for 8 day old José Beneslao Martinez, baptized on October 6, 1854. His father is given as Pedro Martinez, son of Pedro Martinez and Dolores Lovato. His mother is Maria de la Cruz Barbero, daughter of Mariano Barvero and Soledad Moya. The godparents are Matias Montoya and Josefa Balensia. (LDS 0016894)

Paul Hill's notes say that according to the 1870 census Manuel Barbero's and Pedro Barbero's names may be Valencia-Valencia.

The 1860 census for household 655-681, examined by Paul Hill, gives:

• Cruz Barbero, age 36, widowed
• Miguel, age 11
• Manuel, age 10
• Pedro, age 6
• Alcaria, age 2

The 1880 census finds Cruz Barbero, 57 years old, keeping house with son Manuel, who is 29 years old and working as a teamster.
