From "Origins of New Mexico Families" by Fray Angélico Chavez: Ignacio de Aragón, thirty-two , the son of Juan and a native of Mexico City, came with his family in 1693 {to New Mexico}. He was of medium height, with an aquiline face, high forehead, and small, deep-set eyes. His wife was Sebastiana Ortiz, twenty-seven, also born in Mexico City, the daughter of Nicolás Ortiz. She had an aquiline face, large eyes and forehead, and a small, sharp nose.

They had two girls at this time: María, eight years old and born in Mexico City, having an aquiline face, a high forehead, black eyes, and a small nose; and Antonia, three years old, born in Mexico City, and of exactly the same description as her sister. [Spanish Archives, I, No. 54a]

Another list has Aragón with his wife and three children. [BNM, leg 4, Pt. 1, pp. 830-834]. Perhaps one child died on the way, or else an elder boy had joined the Vargas troops. The wife was in all probability a sister of Nicolás Ortiz, another settler who brought his family in the same group, for both are natives of Mexico City and children of Nicolas Ortiz.

Ignacio still resided in Santa Fe in 1705, but by 1710 had settled in Bernalillo, when he gave his age as fifty. [AASF, DM, 1705, No. 12; 1710, No. 9]. His wife had died prior to 1708, when he married Luisa Baca on April 25, [AASF, B-13, Bern, M. Sec.] and the reason for his moving there after his marriage.

There a son, Salvador Manuel was born on April 21, 1710. [AASF, B-13, Bern, M. Sec.] A Nicolás de Aragón of Bernalillo, thirty years old in 1731, [AASF, DM, 1731, no number], was in all likelihood a son by his first (Ortiz) wife. María, the eight-year-old child of 1693, became the wife of Antonio Baca, June 12, 1706 [AASF, B-13, Bern.]

The numerous Aragón clan of the Río Abajo area stems from this family of Ignacio de Aragón.
