Her name was Juana Montaño. This took place on July 20, 1714, when they already had at least one boy who was four years old. It had taken her that much more time to get her Chaves man. It could also have been a turbulent union for a time, since once, after he gave her a beating, she tried walking all the way to her own folks in Santa Fe before nicolas caught up with her at Bernalillo. Yet they managed to produce a very large family of which we have a complete list, thanks to the extant will which he drew up on May 19, 1768. In it he stated the names of his parents, his wife, and the following eight sons and four daughters according to their ages: José, Gertrudis, Bernardo, Luis, Fernanado, Isabel, Antonio, María Antonia, Juan, Vicente, María and Francisco. [Chavez, A Distinctive American Clan in New Mexico by Fray Angelico Chavez]

From "Beyond Origins of New Mexico Families, Volume 2: Gertrudis Cháves (ONMF: 163) wife of Francisco Silva (ONMF: 289) was not a daughter of Nicolás Durán y Cháves as documented in Origins of New Mexico Families by Fray Angelico Chaves. Prior to marriage, Nicolás had a son, Juan José by Juana Montaño. While (he) was traveling out of New Mexico, Juana Montaño had given birth to a boy christened Nicolás and was pregnant with her third child, Gertrudis, when Nicolás return to New Mexico. Nicolás, the younger, and Gertrudis, natural children of Juana Montaño, were said to have been fathered by "a decent man named Urbán". Nicolás Durán y Cháves was forced to marry Juana Montaño.

This information comes from the testimony of Antonio Cháves, half-brother of Gertrudis Cháves, given during the pre-marital investigation of José Manuel Silva and María Josefa Silveria Sánchez.

(?) Urbán and Juana Montaño Doña had the following children:

313 i. Nicolás⁸ Durán Y Cháves⁽¹⁶³⁵⁾ was born about 1719.⁽¹⁶³⁶⁾

+ 314 ii. Gertrudis Durán Y Cháves was born 1720.
