Biography

Mexican flag
Juan de Ulibarri was born in Mexico.

Juan was born about 1670 in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, to Jose Enriquez de los Reyes and Maria de Ynojos.[1] He came to New Mexico as a soldier serving with Diego de Vargas. During the 1696 rebellion, he was sent with his squadron to escort the leader of the Horseguard and to scout the situation, bringing back news of the priests and settlers that had been murdered.[2] By 1704, he was a "captain and second in command at the Santa garrison."[3] That same year, his brother Antonio joined him in New Mexico, and was also a soldier.[4]

In about 1695, Juan was married to Juana Hurtado, who had been captured during the Pueblo Revolt and was an Indian captive for 12 years.[5] In 1706, he was ordered to find and survey plots for a suitable site for the new Villa de Albuquerque.[6] Juana's stepmother was María Bernardina de Salas y Trujillo, who, along with many of her children and their families, was one of the original founders of Albuquerque.[7]

In 1705 he participated in a campaign against the Navajos.[8] In 1706, he was a Captain in charge of the Cuartelejo Campaign to rescue some Picuris Indians that had been captured by Apaches. They had already escaped but he returned them home to San Lorenzo de Picuris, willingly or not.[3] He served as Alcalde on several occasions, notably as the Alcalde Mayor in Santa Fe in 1710.[8]

Juana was dead by about 1711 when Juan married Francisca de Mizquia y Lucero.[3] At some point, he was summoned to Mexico City due to "the lies and tricks of the Tafoya brothers."[3] He never returned to New Mexico.[8] In Mexico City, he was married to Gertrudis Josefa de Ojeda.[8] He died in 1716.[9]

"Ulibarri never had any children with any of his wives and therefore left no issue in New Mexico, unlike his brother Antonio who is the progenitor of the Ulibarri name."[8]
