• Background Information: 252
Juan de Vitoria Carvajal's wife was Isabel Holguín, daughter of Juan López Holguín and Catalina de Villanueva, and their three known sons were, in all likelihood, Agustín, Gerónimo, and Felis. A daughter, whose name is not known, was the wife of Don Fernando Durán y Chaves. Most likely another daughter was Magdalena, wife of Domingo González.

Gerónimo de Carvajal was a brother of Agustín de Carvajal. In 1661 he was referred to as being thirty-one years old and the husband of Margarita Márquez. At this time he was also Alcalde Mayor and Captain of the Tanos in the Galisteo Basin, and also claimed half of the Awátobi encomienda. His hacienda was located at "Nuestra Señora de los Remedios de los Cerrillos," in the jurisdiction of San Marcos Pueblo. At this time, 1669, he claimed the Sandía jurisdiction as his birthplace. In this connection, his wife was referred to as being twenty-six years of age, a native of Santa Fe, and a daughter of doña Bernardina Márquez. In 1656, she figured in a scandalous but colorful incident involving Governor Manso, together with the fake baptism of one infant and the fake burial of another, so that her child by Manso could be spirited to Mexico City to be reared by his natural father. Yet by 1669, when Fray Juan Bernal recommended Gerónimo as a virtuous and honorable man, he also spoke highly of Margarita. Gerónimo must have been dead when the Pueblos rebelled in 1680, for he does not appear in the Revolt lists. Margarita was still living in 1682, when her daughter, Ana Márquez Carvajal, wife of don José de Chaves, attempted to poison her husband with a designedly non-fatal dose. Another daughter seems to have been a Josefa de Carvajal, wife of Cristóbal de Velasco at this time; also, a "doña María Márquez." Their two sons could well have been Antonio and Ambrosio, described further on.
