MARIA DOLORES QUINTANA[Abt 1846 - abt 1920]
This is my great great grandmother Maria Dolores Quintana born about 1846 in Tesuque, New Mexico. She came with the priests from Tesuque to Penasco as a cook. Most of her children were baptized and married at La Iglesia Catolica de San Antonio, Penasco, Taos County, Territory of New Mexico, United States of America as "hijos naturales." She was a mistress of four men, kidnapped, rescued and physically mutilated. According to my cousins descended from Maria Antonia, she was raped by an Apache. Two possible fathers of her children are a Roybal from Rio Lucio and an attorney named Sanchez from Las Vegas, New Mexico. Her son Juan Estevan Quintana and her daughter Maria Rumalda Quintana are both my great grandparents. I don't know where she was buried: Rio Lucio or Penasco? She owned property in Penasco across the road from Penasco High School on or near the Picuris Reservation. The Santa Barbara Grant and the Trampas Grant boundaries are very close. I suspect she was a full blooded Indian – either Apache or Pueblo. Maria Dolores and her daughter Maria Rumalda would go up into the montes [forests] above Llano to visit the Apaches. There is an Apache Canyon is near Penasco.
