The earliest family of Hernan Martin Serrano and Juana Rodriguez who came with Don Juan de Oñate in 1598 remain elusive to many of us. Traveling from Zacatecas from 1596-1598 was no easy feat as those families had to bring entire households, animals and military materials with them. The thousand-mile journey which encompassed crossing rivers, skirting mountains and deserts with little or no water would have been difficult even for those without children. After the resettlement of 1692, the Martin Serrano family became large landowners. These lands were used to maintain their families, used as dowries and accumulate wealth. The family settled is what we know as the Rio Arriba area of New Mexico, the Martin(ez)s would settle in almost all parts of New Mexico, Colorado and west to California.
