Tom McCabes Genealogy 2022

Witnesses at the musters of Spanish Survivors in 1681 attested that Tomé was killed by the enemy during the Pueblo Uprising. Here is the statement given by his brother Diego Domínguez de Mendoza to that fact:

[Pg 150, Revolt, Part II] "In this place which serves as the dwelling of Captain Diego Domínguez de Mendoza, on the 13th day of the month of October, 1681, I, Maestre de Campo Francisco Xavier, secretary of government and war, by order of Señor Don Antonio de Otermín, governor and captain—general of this kingdom, with the assistance of Lázaro de Mizquia and Antonio de Ayala, witnesses named by his lordship, made known the above auto to Captain Diego Domínguez de Mendoza in person. He having heard it, he said that since he attained years of discretion he has served his Majesty at his own cost and expense along with his father, Maestre de Campo Thomé Domínguez de Mendoza, and all his brothers, being always humbly obedient to all his Majesty's ministers, and always assisting at his own cost and expenses in the royal service and in the defense of those provinces.

In one of the many battles in which he took part with his brothers, they killed his brother, Sargento Mayor Thomé Domínguez, and wounded badly another of his brothers, named Captain Juan Domínguez. On this occasion the said Captain Diego Domínguez came out with two arrow wounds, one in the leg and the other in the arm, from which he has suffered and is now almost crippled, his suffering being increased by the effect of the poison on the arrows.

For this reason it is not possible for him to receive the pay as a soldier or as a settler, in addition to which he is married and has four children, three of them grown daughters. He gave this as his reply and signed it before me and the witness. Francisco Xavier, secretary of government and war (rubric) ; Diego Domínguez de Mendoza (rubric) ; witness, Lázaro de Mizquía (rubric) ; witness, Antonio de Ayala (rubric) ."

Here is statement given in October of 1681 in which Sargent Mayor Tome's father begins to explain why he has not answered the call to join the King's forces going north to subdue the Pueblo and Apache Insurgents. He mentions the sacrifices already made including the death of his namesake son Thomé.

[Pg 144, Revolt, Part II] "In this post and rancho of Maestre de Campo Thomé Domínguez de Mendoza, on the second day of the month of October, 1681, I, Sargento Mayor Juan Lucero de Godoy, lieutenant of the señor governor and captain—general, notified the aforesaid Maestre de Campo Thomé Domínguez de Mendoza in person of the above auto. Having heard and understood it, he said that it is a matter of common knowledge that for four months he has been in the grip of illnesses, among them gout and a stomach disorder, besides being sixty—one years old; and that since he reached years of discretion he has been in the provinces of New Mexico serving his Majesty, as is well known to all the citizens, residents, and inhabitants of that kingdom, with the assistance of his four legitimate sons, one of whom died in the royal service, he being Sargento Mayor Thomé Domínguez de Mendoza."
