 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 51

Scope and Contents

Answering inquiry re. what happened to their father's mulada, which the last time they were brought from the llano Nestor was in Las Cruces. "La primera vez se estaba alla cuando se llevaron las mias y de mi Padre El" and they were with those of Jose Perea and Reyes Romero. Only Francisco Lucero, Solomon and David Sisneros, are alive who know how many were lost when they came from the Paraje. Of the cattle belonging to his father brought from Ga. Mesa de Hamana [?] there are no witnesses alive. Apparently this happened in 1861, "Pero cuando se las llevaron en el 61 que las tenian al Partido el Chico Martin Jesus Abran y D. Miguelito Garcia de estes si pueden Casdian testigos. Etc." [This relates to a claim trying to be made re. Indian depredations.]
