54c DE VARGAS, DIEGO. Re-conquest; operations of 1693; desertions; report to the viceroy; list of families sent from Mexico as colonists.

This archive, with no title, lacks the first three folios; it is dated September 1, 1693, and contains a list of the settlers accompanying De Vargas on the second entrada.

These original settlers (vecinos) at the time of the entrada, according to this archive, received, per family, sums varying from three hundred to three hundred and twenty dollars each. After each entry appears the following:

"The first of September, 1693, this family received from the hands of the treasure, Señor Don Joseph de Urrutia, three hundred dollars, which the government held ready to give them to provide necessaries for the journey."

The phrase "aquiline face" used so frequently in the descriptions, means "a long face having an aquiline of hooked nose."

In the various ecclesiastical records of New Mexico of New Mexico, the genealogy of the descendants of these families and first settlers may be found. This list, of course, does not include the names of those who had been driven out of the country in 1680 and were now returning, nor are the names of officers, soldiers and frayles mentioned.
