Juan de Ulibarrí and his brother Antonio came to New Mexico with the Reconquest. Juan was 24 in 1694, at which time he declared he had been born in San Luis Potosi. His brother, Antonio, vouced for Juan in 1727. Frat Abtibui Oérez of San Juan Pueblo deposed that the man's name was "de los Reyes, her Ulibarí," and that he was a native of San Luis de la Paz in Mexico City, the son of José Enríquez de los Reyes and María de Ynojos.
Juan was captain and second in command of the Santa Fé garrison in 1704, and Procurator in 1706. He freed the Picurís from Apaches in 1706/07, and brought them back fro el Cuatelejo to their Pueblo. Juan's wife at this time was Juana Hurtado.
By 1711, Juan married Francisca de Mizquia, the widow of Bernado Durán y Chávez. Francisca petitioned the Viceroy to release her husband from detention in Mexico City, where he had been summoned. Both Juan and his wife were dead by 1718.
