Notes for JOSÉ FERNANDO ARCHULETTA HERRERA:
Padrinos: Seledon Herrera and Maria de la Cruz Lopes (grandparents). Fernando's Grave is unmarked in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Fernando was born in Santa Cruz de la Canada, founded in (1695), located thirty miles north of Santa Fe.
Fernando's oldest daughter, Maria Alta Gracia, married Antonio Nunez Valenzuela, on July 1892 after her husband William James Norris Gill died in Nogal on April 11, 1889. Two children were born, Rosalia and Benancio Herrera Valenzuela.
Maria and her father Fernando petitioned the court on several occasions. William didn't leave a will for his real estate and personal property. On April 23, 1889 Fernando requested that they appoint him as administrator of William's estate. Fernando also accused Antonio Valenzuela of squandering William Gill's money and believed that Maria was greatly influenced by this man.
William had owned gold mines in Nogal and White Oakes.
On May 9, 1889 the court appointed Maria as guardian to her children and management of property and estate.
When Maria died, Nocolásita, one of Maria's younger sisters married Antonio Valenzuela. Antonio was very mean to Nicolása. He would come home drunk and threaten her with his shaving knife. He would ride in on his horse and lasso her, dragging her on the ground and laughing with a loud thundering voice.
Nicolásita married Antonio, because he kept threatening to take Benancio, so she would never see him again. Antonio Valenzuela finally stopped coming around.
Nicolásita never had any children of her own, but she helped raise a lot of nieces and nephews in the family, including Benancio.

In Re" Guardianship of Jennie Gill, Dona Gill, Alice Gill, William Gill and Estella Gill wards.
Now comes Fernando Herrera, Guardian of said wards, and shows to the court here that Jennie and Alice Gill have married off and have left the house of your guardian; that William Gill now aged about nineteen years and Dona Gill who has reached his majority, have both left the house of said guardian and refuse to have said guardian care for them further; that Estella Gill aged about fifteen years is still under said guardians care and protection; that Newman Gill aged about eighteen years refused to accept the care and protection of your guardian- Your orator Fernando Herrera further shows to the court that the only estate belonging to these wards is twenty two head of cattle counting the calves; that no income is derived from these cattle, on the contrary they are a source of expense to the estate.
That the said ward Estella Gill has arrived at an age when she should have the advantages of an education, and have decent clothes to wear, and have expenditures made for her in the way of school and other books, to the end that she may grow into a useful and intelligent woman.
That as above stated there is no income from the body of said wards estate, however your orater receives or will receive from now on, from the Government of the United States, a pension of thirty two 32/100 dollars every three months, commencing on the tenth day of August 1903.
Wherefore your orator now prays the court for an order granting him the privilege to expend said pension money to educate, maintain and clothe the said ward Estella gill, and such other wards above named who may come back to your orator and seek his care and protection, while he is their guardian-

MARÍA MANUELA MARTINEZ5 HERRERA (JOSÉ FERNANDO ARCHULETTA4, PEDRO ALCANTAR BUSTOS3, JOSÉ JOAQUIN ARCHULETTA2, TOMAS1) was born April 20, 1866 in Santa Cruz de la Canada, Santa Fe Co., New México, and died February 13, 1939 in San Patricio, Lincoln Co., New México. She married (1) CHARLES BOWDRE. He was born 1859 in Tennessee, and died December 23, 1880 in Stinking Springs, New México. She married (2) JOSÉ PORTILLO. She married (3) MAXIMIANO CORONA 1887. She married (4) JAMES SALSBERRY 1895.
Notes for MARÍA MANUELA MARTINEZ HERRERA:
I was looking through yet another book about Billy the Kid. I saw a picture of Charlie Bowdre, with his wife standing beside him. I remember thinking could she be related, she looked like family.
So, I started looking for other books with Charlie Bowdre, till I found information on this lady. I was so excited, one book said she was Fernando Herrera's daughter. I not only discovered this, but I also found that "Doc" Scurlock married another daughter of Fernando Herrera.
The more I researched and read books the more desperate I became in fitting all the pieces of our family together.
Fernando Herrera, was the marksman who shot Charlie Crawford from the Montano Store on July 17, 1978 in the Lincoln County War.
Fernando was around 41 at the time of the Lincoln County War. Manuelita became a widow. She married again and began a new life after Charlie Bowdre was killed.
Charlie was killed December 23, 1880, at Stinking Springs, New Mexico, by Pat Garrett's posse. The same day they captured Billy the Kid and the rest of his gang.
Charlie wanted to stop that way of life and settle down with his wife Manuela. He wrote a letter to Lea asking him to write to Govenor Wallace for a pardon the same month he was killed.
Manuelita must have been very lonely, since Charlie was always on the go.
The day they brought his body home, Manuelita went crazy hitting the man over the head with a branding iron, yelling, kicking, and pounding on Pat Garrets chest.

Charlie shot Buckshot Roberts at Blazer's Mill.
