Gómez & Rosales Family of El Paso, Texas

In the Pueblo Revolt of August, September of 1680 Maestre de Campo Tomé Dominguez de Mendoza was one of the military leaders who lead survivors from Rio Abajo south toward El Paso. When the survivors from the north (Rio Arriba) caught up with them, the governor ordered a Muster (head count) of survivors. Here is a translation of Tomé's muster record:

[pg 138, Revolt, Part 1] Maestre de Campo Thomé Domínguez de Mendoza passed muster with a full complement of personal arms, four soldier sons, all with personal arms, and thirty lean and worn—out horses with which they all serve his Majesty. He is married and has four children**, three of the sons being married with eight children in their families. There are fifty—five persons in all, including male and female servants, young and old. The above—named and his sons as well were robbed by the enemy of cattle, houses, and crops, and in this conflict and uprising the rebels killed thirty—eight Spanish persons, all being his daughters, grandchildren, sons—in—law, sisters, nephews, nieces, and sisters—in—law, as is a matter of common knowledge.

He signs it. Thomé Domínguez de Mendoza (rubric).

** Probably referring just to children with him.
