She and her husband, Juan Ignacio Luque, lived in the San Luis Valley and were married by Father Garrucho on June 19, 1746 at Guevavi. News that the rebels had attacked her brother's house in the real of Oquitoa was some of the first information to reach the outside world. It would be several excruciating days before she would learn for sure that he and two of his small children had been killed.   Event Relationship [11 Records] Event ID: 164 Relationship: Wife Event Date: 06/19/1746 View Document A     Event ID: 380 Relationship: Mother Event Date: 01/26/1749 View Document A     Event ID: 397 Relationship: Mother Event Date: 05/23/1751 View Document A     Event ID: 1035 Relationship: Mother Event Date: 02/28/1753 View Document A     Event ID: 1036 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 02/28/1753 View Document A     Event ID: 1085 Relationship: Mother Event Date: 01/19/1755 View Document A B   Event ID: 1125 Relationship: Mother Event Date: 04/28/1760 View Document A     Event ID: 1499 Relationship: Mother Event Date: 12/12/1758 View Document A     Event ID: 1543 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 05/05/1746 View Document A     Event ID: 1884 Relationship: Mother Event Date: 07/23/1747 View Document A     Event ID: 6287 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 02/12/1745 View Document A
