15 Mar 1706, in Santa Fé, Juan Trujillo gave testimony in the case of alleged bigamy of Diego Arias de Quirós. In this testamony, Juan referred to his son Baltasar Trujillo, who had given testimony two days earlier that he was the son of Juan Trujillo and Elivira Jiménez. Juan declared he was a "mestizo married to Ana de Herrera, Spanish, and was the son of Cristóbal Trujillo and his legitimate wife, María de Sandoval, coyota." He also stated that he was sixty years of age and a native of New Mexico.

In 1693, María de Sandoval y Manzanares, the wife of Cristóbal Trujillo, was living in the third household of the Pueblo of Socorros, about 5 leagues from El Paso. Cristóbal and María were living with their two children, Melchor, 13, and Micaela, 12, along with an orphan boy named Lorenzo, 2 years old.

María de Sandoval y Manzanares was described as coyota by her son, Juan Trujillo. See AGN, Inquisición, t. 735, ff. 467r – 468r, Testimony of Juan Trujillo, mestizo, March 15, 1706. Her son, Diego Trujillo, identified her as a native of New Mexico. See DM 1692, January 18, Isleta del Sur, for Diego Trujillo and Catalina Griego in Fray Angélico Chávez, “New Mexico Roots, Ltd: An Addendum,” in New Mexico Genealogist, 49:3, December 2010, 190. The identification of María de Sandoval y Manzanares as a daughter of Mateo de Manzanares is based on information from Pascual Trujillo (son of Cristóbal Trujillo and María de Sandoval y Manzanares) who identified Ana de Sandoval y Manzanares as his aunt. See John L. Kessell, Rick Hendricks and Meredith D. Dodge, To The Royal Crown Restored, 60-61. Ana de Sandoval y Manzanares identified her father as Mateo de Sandoval y Manzanares.
