Santa Fe Muster Lists, 1705
- May 7
- 9 min read
Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdés ordered a general muster of the presidial company of Santa Fe and of male citizens in early 1705, one month apart. The two lists provide a snapshot of the 174 men capable of bearing arms residing in the town that year. There were 100 soldiers registered at the presidio (including ten marked absent) and 74 other citizens passed muster (Juan Páez Hurtado appears on both lists and town council member Juan de Ulibarri is missing from the count).
The second list designates those who were members of Santa Fe’s town council: Juan de Ulibarri (he signed the list but was missing from the count), Antonio de Aguilera Ysasi, Diego Arias de Quirós, Antonio Lucero de Godoy, Antonio Montoya, and Francisco Romero de Pedraza.
For easy reference, I have organized the lists alphabetically by last name (the number column indicates the order in which the person appeared on the original manuscript).
