Biography
José Ignacio Alari was the son of Juan Bautista Alari, a Frenchman who settled in Santa Fe in 1740, after possibly setting out for Taos with the Mallet Expedition. Juan Bautista Alari later became a Spanish citizen. He married Maria Francisca Fernandez de la Pedrera with whom he had five children (among them, José Ignacio and Manuel Isodoro). In the nineteenth century, the Alari surname was changed to Alarid in an effort to hispanicize the name. José Ignacio Alari married Maria de Loreto Benavides, great-granddaughter of the colonist Juan Estevan de Benavides who died en route to New Mexico from Zacatecas, Mexico, in 1695.
