Francisco Romero de Pedraza was a brother of Bartolomé. In 1689 he gave his age as 55, saying he was a son of Matías Romero and Isabel de Pedraza and married to Francisca Ramírez [de Salazar], a native of New Mexico. In previous and subsequent years he gave his age so consistently that we can say with some certainty that he was born in 1634-1635. He was an uncle of Lucía Gómez Robledo, daughter of Andrés Gómez Robledo (DM, 1697, no. 11).
