[Olmsted's research] In 1775, Juan Antonio Gurulé made a rare appearance on record when he sold some property to Domingo Romero in the Cieneguilla that had come to Maria Petrona. He is recorded as a carpenter in the 1790 census, living next door to his brother, Serafin. Juan Antonio was the Gurulé heir who retained the original grant documents and the wills of Elena Gallegos and Antonio Gurulé that were displayed before the United States Court of Private Claims to confirm the ownership of the Elena Gallegos Grant. The last record found for Juan Antonio Gurulé and Maria Petrona Montoya is the 1803­ census of Las Huertas. Juan Antonio was enumerated as being 80 and Maria as aged 60. [Angela Lewis]
