Bartolomé Garduño and his wife, Catalina Durán, lived in Santa Fe in the years following the Reconquest. When he married her in 1695, he gave his name as Bartolomé Sánchez, a native of Queretaro, the son of Juan Sánchez and Ana González, and twenty-one years old at the time. In 1713 he was assigned to carry some official papers to the Viceroy. His widow died sometime before 1752; a grandson, José Miguel, was a soldier in Santa Fe at this time. Bartolomé had a son, Gregorio, who married Juana Sedillo in 1720. The two men following, Francisco and Felipe, were very likely his sons also.

Francisco Garduño acted as a godfather in 1714; he was twenty-nine in 1727 and living in Santa Fe.

Felipe Garduño of Santa Fe married Leonardo Córdoba, on September 29, 1733.

José Garduño had a sister María Diega Garduño, who died prior to 1752, and had been the wife of a certain "Vitón." Gabriel, her son, was a cousin to José Miguel Garduño, grandson of old Bartolomé.
