Cristóbal Nieto, another son of José Nieto, also was away when the Indians fell on the colonists. In passing muster he declared himself to be a widower, twenty-nine years of age; and was described as being of medium height, slender, with an aquiline face, slight beard, and a scar on the right eyelid. Twelve years later, Roque de Madrid found Cristobal Nieto's wife, Petrona (Pacheco), with five daughters and a son, an increase of three since her captivity. Her husband was residing in Sonora at this time, 1692. Joined again with his family, he came back to Santa Fe with the Reconquest.

Cristóbal Nieto returned to Santa Fe with the Reconquest with his wife, Petrona Pacheco, and their family. He received a grant of land on August 5, 1697. Petrona, widow of Cristóbal Nieto, died on 18 Mar 1750. Of their known children, María Magdalena married Francisco de Tapia, and Lucía became the wife of Salvador Olguín. Nothing is known so far of the other two legitimate children, and the three others which Petrona had during her twelve-year captivity among the Indians. Simón Nieto, perhaps a son of Cristóbal, was a soldier of Santa Fe in 1700. Still soldiering in 1728, he had lost his wife, Francisca Maese, daughter of Luis Maese. Simón sold some land in Santa Fe in that year.
