Originally I had Cayetano Cristóbal Torres as the son of María Rafaela Baca. In The New Mexico Genealogical Society Journal, Vol. 46 #3, p. 140-141, in an article about Cayetano, it is pointed out that in the 1750 Belen Census, Cayetano is listed as the first child, with Juan Domino, Martín & Bartolomé following.
