• Background Information:
There are three Barrera individuals mention in Origins of New Mexico's Families. These three lived next door to each other in Belén, according to the Spanish Census of 1750 ²⁷⁰, which leads me to consider that they were related. It is possible that Ygnacio was the father of the other two. He would have to be a very young father, which is possible. It is also possible that they are the sons of Domingo de la Barrera, mentioned in Origins of New Mexico famlies, p. 146 ²⁵² , and whose name appears in New Mexico documents between 1694-1703. The earliest Barreras in New Mexico:

• Ygnacio Barrera and Micaela López had two children, Salvador Vicente, 20 Jan 1727, and Antonio, 15 Nov 1733.

• Manuel Barreda and María García had a son, Juan Miguel, 5 Oct 1749; their sponsors were Marcial Barreda and Rosa Trujillo

• Marcial Barreda, or Barrera, married Rosa Trujillo on 4 Nov 1743. They had a son, Antonio Albino, 8 Apr 1752. Manuel Barrera and María Torres had two children: Juan Miguel, 18 May 1748, and Bernardino, June 1 Jun 1752.
