Biography

Estefana was born about 1821 to Pedro Antonio Archuleta and María Simona Mestas (see research note). In 1850 she married Juan Hurtado^[1] and they had 10 children:

1. Margarita Hurtado (1851-)
2. María Juana Hurtado (1855-)
3. José Severiano Hurtado (abt.1856-)
4. Matiana Hurtado (abt.1858-)
5. María Paula Hurtado (1859-)
6. María Exelsia Hurtado (1862-)
7. Camilo Hurtado (1868-)
8. Gavino Hurtado (1869-1954)
9. Juan, born about 1873
10. Genoveva, born about 1878

Estefana passed away in 1886.^[2]

Research Notes

1. Her year of birth could be any time from 1821 to 1836. The 1860 US Census says she was born in 1821,^[3] the 1880 Census says 1826,^[4] and her death record says 1836.^[2] Unless she had a prior marriage, it is doubtful that she was 24 or 29 when she married Juan María. Fourteen is a bit young in 1850 but possible. More research is needed.
2. There is some confusion regarding her mother. Her marriage record lists her mother as María Samora. However, her father's mother's name was also María Samora. Since María Samora sounds almost identical to María Simona, I think it is likely an error by the priest recording the record.
