                       Already in 1597 he is mentioned as married toLucia Lopez (Luisa Lopez                       Robledo), who came with him and her young family. Bartolome figured quite                        prominently in the Oñate annals; he was promoted to captain shortly after the                       colony arrived in New Mexico.
