These men served with the conquistador Francisco de Montejo. The conquest of the Yucatan officially 
lasted from 1526 to 1546. The Conquistadors met bitter resistance from the Maya. While most of the 
Yucatan was conquered the last of the Maya kingdoms Tayasal, on a island in Lake Peten Itza, kept 
its independance until 1697.

Montejo who was joined in the conquest by his son and nephew, asked Gonzalo Guerrero to join them. 
Gonzalo who had lived amoungst the Maya since his shipwreck in 1511, refused and led a contingent of
Maya troops to Honduras by canoe to aid the Indians there. After the encounter Pedro de Alvarado's 
troops found his body painted and dressed in full indian garb, on the field of war.

SOLDIERS OF THE EXPEDITION

As the soldiers of Anza's expedition were the founders and first settlers of the city of San Francisco, it becomes a matter of historical importance to know who and what they were. They left their imprint on the civilization of California and their names are as familiar as household words to all who know the country. The list is now given for the first time and the particulars concerning the families were taken from the Spanish archives of California, destroyed by the fire of 1906. In giving the members of the families I only enumerate the children accompanying the expedition. Many more were born in California.  Most of the soldiers and settlers started their journey from Sonora.

Juan Salvio Pacheco lived but a short time in California; I found a listing in Tenenate Sonora, 1729.. He died before July 21, 1777, but the family he founded became a large one. He brought with him to California his wife, María del Carmen del Valle, and five children: Miguel, age twenty; Ignacio, age fifteen; Ignacia Gertrudis, age fifteen; Bartolomé Ignacio, age ten; and María Barbara, age ten. Juan Salvio's descendants were grantees of Potrero de los Cerritos, Arroyo de las Nueces, Santa Rita, San José Rancho, San Ramon, Monte del Diablo, and Positos ranchos. The towns of Pacheco in Contra Costa and Pacheco in Marin counties are named for this family.

They lived in Tubac during the 1775, while the other Pacheco's lived there as well. Our Pacheco's did not leave. Some of our cousins, Romero's and Bojorqez's left with the De Anza Party.

TUCSON Meteorite

Iron with silicate inclusions, ungrouped

Found 1845
31° 51' N., 110° 58' W.

Tucson: a history revealed

Two masses of the Tucson meteorite were found, the ring-shaped Irwin-Ainsa mass and the paired, slab-shaped, Carleton mass. The meteorites consist of 92 vol% iron with 8 vol% silicate inclusions consisting of forsteritic olivine, pure enstatite, aluminous diopside, pure anorthite and brezinaite. No fusion crust or heat-affected zone remains. Tucson was formed by shear-deformation of a metal-silicate mixture, followed by annealing and rapid cooling. Due to this rapid cooling, no Widmanstätten structure is present upon etching, and Tucson is classified structurally as an ataxite. Tucson is highly reduced and may be related to the similarly reduced and Ge-depleted meteorites Santiago Papasquiero or Nedagolla.

Each of the Tucson masses has a unique convoluted history. The first recovered and the largest of the two is the 1,400 pound (688 kg) ring-shaped mass, alternately called the Ring, Signet, Ainsa, and Irwin-Ainsa Meteorite at various times in history. The other mass, originally weighing 633 pounds (287 kg), is named the Carleton Meteorite for the Civil War general who appropriated the piece for public display.

The first written description of the Ring dates back to 1845. It was written in Spanish by a respected official of Sonora, Mexico, named José Velasco. From a section of his treatise concerning the state of Sonora, titled Mines of Iron, Lead, Copper, and Quicksilver, he described a mountain pass (known today as Box Canyon) within the Sierra de la Madera range (now the Santa Rita Mountains). This pass, located between Tucson and Tubac, contained many large masses of pure iron, lying at the foot of the mountains. He wrote of a medium-sized mass that was taken to Tucson, a journey of over thirty rugged miles, where it had resided for many years [before 1845], serving as an anvil for the garrison armorer/blacksmith.

Writing in his diary for May 31, 1849, the '49er A. Clarke clearly described the find circumstances and provided details of the appearance of the meteorite anvil used by the shoer of his mule. Shortly thereafter, in his article of 1852, Notice of Meteoric Iron in the Mexican Province of Sonora, Dr. John LeConte described the appearance and recovery information of two meteoric anvils being used by blacksmiths in Tucson. That same year, in his diary entry for July 17, boundary commissioner John Bartlett described the origin and dimensions of the Ring mass and alluded to a second large mass located within the garrison in Tucson. He also made a detailed sketch of the celestial anvil, brought to light only in 1978.

Perhaps the most thorough description of the two masses was written by John Parke, lieutenant in charge of a survey expedition. He indicated that with much effort some small samples were acquired and sent to the east for analysis. An analysis was performed by Dr. Charles Shepard and published in 1854 in the American Journal of Science. He reported the lack of crust and the oxidized nature of the meteorite sample, along with its chemical composition.

It was a blacksmith named Ramón Pacheco, who recovered the slab-like mass on or about 1850, and put it to use as an anvil in Tucson. In 1856, the other blacksmith anvil, the Ring, was abandoned leaving all the blacksmith duties to Pacheco and his anvil. In 1862, Colonel James Carleton confiscated the Pacheco anvil and had it shipped to San Francisco where permission was obtained to saw off a specimen for analysis. The mass remained on display at the Society of California Pioneers until 1939 when it was purchased by the Smithsonian to be displayed alongside the Ring mass.

During the year 1860, a medical officer named Bernard Irwin found the abandoned Ring mass and took possession of it on behalf of the Smithsonian. The following year, the meteorite was contracted to begin its journey from Arizona to Washington D.C. via Guaymas by Auguston Ainsa. He took two years to haul the mass to the coast, where his brother, Santiago Ainsa, took over the remaining leg to New York. Santiago was primarily interested in glorifying the family name and contrived a false history of the Ring mass in correspondence with the Smithsonian. In part, he claimed the mass was recovered by his famous great grandfather, Juan Bautista de Anza, in 1735 at a known location, and transported to Tucson. This legend, along with his other claims, have been proven to be totally fabricated; but not before the credit for the presentation of the Ring Meteorite to the Smithsonian was given to the Ainsas, including naming the Ring meteorite the Ainsa Meteorite.

When Irwin learned of this appalling turn of events, he sent a letter to the Smithsonian, debunking Ainsa's fabricated story and protesting their choice of names for the mass. He stated he would rather they rename it the Tucson Meteorite rather than honor the fraudulent claims of Santiago Ainsa. After all, the Ainsas had only contracted to carry it to Washington for Irwin, the original donator to the Smithsonian. The name was subsequently changed to the Irwin-Ainsa Meteorite, but Irwin was intent on removing the name of Ainsa from the meteorite and publishing the correct history of the mass. It took twelve years for the name to be changed at Irwin's insistence to the Tucson Meteorite.

The 3.6 g specimen pictured above was originally part of the inner "nodule" of the ring mass, and shows a polycrystalline structure with flow patterns of silicate inclusions. The Tucson Ring can be viewed today at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in the Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals.

The following names will give us a start for connecting the families to Sonora.  Also, the families must also be connected to the families/cites of Spain.  This is just a small sample, as a list is available that has records of over  4,000 Pacheco's being born in the 1400-1500-1600-1700's.  Simply type in Pacheco for the last name and select Mexico as the country.

From Catalog de Pasajeros A Indias, Vol. VII (1586-1599) by Maria del Carmen Galbis Diez (Ministerio de Cultura, 1986), found was:

Diego Orozco from Toledo, Spain, legitimate son of Francisco de Orozco, "alguacil de la Inquisición" and Leonor Cornejo, was at the founding of Guadalajara too. So was Antonio Pacheco de Montejo, son of Francisco Pacheco and Catalina Pacheco. He assisted in the pacification of Nueva Galicia with Pedro de Alvarado.

Don Francisco Pacheco de Córdoba y Bocanegra was still living in 1600. He died on March 29, 1619. Furthermore, The year of birth for Don Francisco Pacheco de Córdoba y Bocanegra has been documented as 1573 (Guillermo Porras Muñoz, El gobierno de la Ciudad de México en el siglo XVI, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 1982: 268-71).
