AGUILAR
Am seeking information from anyone in the following counties. Colfax, Mora,
Harding, Union, and Taos counties. I'm searching for a baptism and marriage
record for JOSE EULOGIO AGUILAR. Born approximately in 1854. He married Maria
Gracia Leyba in approximately 1879. Maria Gracia Leyba was baptized in Penasco
in 1857. All I know is that g-grandma Graica Leyba went to Trinidad, Colorado as
a housekeeper for her brothers and met JOSE EULOGIO AGUILAR and they married and
moved back to Ojo Sarco, New Mexico in the Penasco, Taos County, New Mexico
area.
They baptized their children in the San Antonio Church, Penasco, Taos, County,
New Mexico. I have already searched the Picuris, Penasco New Mexico, and
Trinidad, Colorado LDS baptism and marriage records and have not found either a
baptism or marriage record. Any help will be appreciated. I also heard that JOSE
EULOGIO AGUILAR may have been a Presbyterian, however I believe that he was
probably baptized Catholic and doubtful that they married in the Presbyterian
faith since Maria Gracia Leyba was Catholic and their children were baptized and
raised Catholic. Please email to: [email protected] Thank you.

land patents during the early part of the century. William H. Fletcher and his
son, Manson H. Fletcher, received these patents in 1915. Manson was my
grandfather. He married a Bertha Fitzwater--my grandmother, in 1918. There only
child, my father, was Charles Fletcher. William H. Fletcher married Martha
Messick (or Musick, or Music) in Coffee County, Tennessee and had eleven
children there. They moved west around the turn of the century--1900. I do not
know why they would have moved so relatively late in life and from a more
fertile land to the semi-arid land. The homesteads were eight miles north of
Endee. Endee is on I-40 (it has its own exit) and bout 3 miles from the Texas
border. Any help would be appreciated.

found one record of them existing and it is in the 1900 census of Spinger,
Colfax co. There Names were Manuel GONZALES and Juana SANCHEZ here is the

SANCHEZ (b. 1855 NM) and married possibly in 1882 (my great-great grandparents)
they appear in the 1900 NM census Colfax Co., Springer, NM. They had 5 children

Patrocinia b. ? Mitilde ? Lucadio ? Family Stories put them in a few diffrent
places Springer of course, Maxwell, Wagonmound, and Las Vegas. My own
grandfather was raised by Juana in Las Vegas around the early 1920's. He passed
away in 1973 so he is unavailable for questioning. Also Manuel was thought to
have passed in the early 1900's I have been able to find a Manuel Gonzales b.
1851 in Pecos, Rio Arriba that looks like a good Candidate and a friend in Las
Vegas sent me another possible candidate (Gonzales, Jose Manuel bap.2 Dec.
1850.) from Las Vegas. I got an email from a lady who told me Springer's Church
had burned down and all the records destroyed and the graveyard had been
destroyed by a flood in the early 1920's. Here is my question where do I go from
here? Any help would be greatly Appreciated. Thank You,

JOHNSON / JOHNSTON / DALE / CONLEY / BETTON / Le PLATS / DURANDS
My great, great grandfather, John E. JOHNSON/JOHNSTON, was born in 1821 and
immigrated from Durham County England with his family to Blossburg, New Mexico
in 1870's or 1880's. He was a mine foreman for the Raton Coal and Coke Company
at Blossburg. And I think the mural in Shuler Theatre depicting the mining
operation is possibly either my great great grandfather, John E. Johnson, or his
son William Johnson.
John E. Johnson shot himself on a Saturday, in July 1895 according to an article
in the Raton Register, and he is buried in Raton. No record has been found but
the possibility is that he is buried in Fairmont cemetery along with his son in
law George DALE, husband of Susan Johnson Dale. Newspapers of Raton mention his
involvement in the community when Blossburg was thriving and coal was king. His
daughters and husbands also were part of Blossburg.
1. Susan (Johnson) and George DALE are my great grandparents. George who died
tragically at age 41, supposedly hit by a train near Sophris or Piedmont,
Colorado. He is also buried in unknown and unmarked grave in Raton. He played
the flute in the Raton Dance Band. I believe his picture is in the book titled
Ghost Towns and Mining Camps of New Mexico.
2. William and Isabella (Conley) JOHNSON
3. Grace (Johnson) and James CONLEY
4. Mary Ellen (Johnson) and William BETTON. I believe that other sons of John
and Isabella JOHNSON , also lived either at Blossburg or Raton at some point and
descendents may still be in New Mexico. His sons were Joseph, Robert, James and
John. Other surnames associated with my JOHNSON and DALE lines who lived and
worked in New Mexico before the 1900's were LePlats and Durands. There are5th,
6th and 7th generation of these ancestors still living near Trinidad, Colorado.
My roots and my memories are etched in the history of Colfax County and the town
of Raton and surrounding area.
