Maria Guadalupe Torres was born on 17 February 1812 in Los Garcias, New Mexico (a plaza of Belen), and died before and was buried on 6 January 1900 in Socorro, New Mexico, which means she was not quite 88 years. This contradicts the age shown on the obituary.

Guadalupe had been married twice: first to Francisco Antonio Garcia, and second to Pedro Antonio Baca. I am descended from a child of her first marriage, Juana Maria Garcia.

There are probably more descendants than this. If you have any further information, please contact me at abqbobcat@nmia.com. I am also looking for a photograph of this woman. There may be one since she survived until 1900.
