Wills of a Father and Son and A Contribution to the American Revolution
This article, written by a descendiente (Virginia Sanchez) describes her research into the wills of
New Mexican soldados around 1800. The equipment that is listed in the wills makes this very useful
to the Spanish Colonial (Presidial) reenactor. In addition, there are links to books on the
sidebar that also might be of interest to more general Spanish Colonial history. Unfortunately,
there are broken links on this and other pages within larger 1stBooks site, including the link for
Virginia's genealogy page (http://thern.home.att.net/).
