Pedro A. Garcia /his 3 wives/Abiquiu, NM
Looking for relatives of:
Pedro Antonio Garcia
b. abt 1829, New Mexico
d. abt 1911 or 1912 in Abiquiu or Coyote, New Mexico
He was the son of Guadalupe Garcia (probably from New Mexico)
He spent his lifetime near or around Abiquiu, Canones and Coyote, NM. In a 1910 census report Pedro Antonio said that both his parents were born in New Mexico, and in an 1880 census report said that he was born in Abiquiu (his birth record has not been located at this time).
He was a Civil War veteran, Union forces and served under Capt. Antonio Maria Vigil.
He was stolen from his community at about age 8 or 9 by raiding Navajos and raised as a Navajo until the age of about 18, when he was given a horse and sent back to his old community.
He married 3 times: First wife - Maria Teodora Martin

I would like to continue researching Pedro Antonio Garcia's family line, but cannot get further than his mother, Guadalupe Garcia. He had Abeyta relatives from northern New Mexico, around the Abiquiu area and was supposedly a 'half-brother' to Miguel Abeyta (married to Rebecca Garcia, this couple was also from northern New Mexico, around Abiquiu). He was definetly related to a woman by the name of Concepcion Garcia who married Fernandez Moya (also from the Abiquiu area). There is a chance that his family may have come from the Picuris or Socorro areas of New Mexico.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Yvette
