From Illustrated History of New Mexico:
Juan Pablo Delgado was one of the five sons of Don Manuel Delgado, who was the son of Don Marcos and gradson of Captain Manuel Delgado, the founder of the family of that name in New Mexico. Captain Delgado enlisted in the royal army of Spain in 1776 as a private and was promoted by degrees for valuable and meritorious services to the rank of captain. While in the military service he came to New Mexico, already a married man, in 1778, settled and died in the country. Don Juan Pablo Delgado filled several public positions in his liftime, both under the Mexican and the American government.
Mr. Felipe B. Delgado, also a son of Don Manuel Delgado, lived in Santa Fe all his life, was educated in St. Louis Mo. and devoted his whole life to the mercantile business, having managed, until the day of his death, a mercantile establishment, and was, in the days of the famous Santa Fe trail, one of the principal owners of mules and ox trains freighting from Santa Fe, to Independence, Mo., and from Santa Fe to Chihuahua. In February 1869, Mr Delgado married Miss Lucia Ortiz, daughter of Captain Gaspar Ortiz y Alarid of Santa. From this marriage there was an issue of fiteen children of which only the following are living: Magdalena, Pablo, Ana, Lola, Lucia, Pilar, Ernestina, Geronimo and Miguel. Don Felipe B. died in Santa Fe November 22, 1908.
Mr. Felipe S. Delgado was the son of Don Manuel Delgado. Don Manuel was the son of Don Marcos and Don Marcos was the son of the first Manuel Delgado, found of the family who came to New Mexico as an officer of the Spanish Army. Don Felipe was the brother of Simon, Fernando, Felipe, Jr. and Juan Pablo. All of these brothers figured in public life as prominently as their distinguished great grandfather. All of them filled honorable positions and all were merchants. Don Felipe S. was appointed by President Lincoln as Superintendent of Indian Agencies in New Mexico. He also served several times as member of the Legislature, as Probate Judge of Santa Fe County, County Commissioner and member of the School Board.Don Felipe married Doņa Benigna Garcia (1837-1908). From that marriage the folling children were born, Luz, Antonio, Manuela, Emilio, and Alfredo (1879-1929).
I am interested in information on the Delgados in the 18th and 19th centuries.
