The settlers at Carnu\u00e9,\n\u201cEthnically, the settlers were a mixed lot, in addition to Spaniards, there\nwere several coyotes, mixed bloods, and a handful of genizaros, the\nHispanicized Indians who formed a kind of floating population in many New\nMexico towns.\u201d Similar to previously established genizaro settlements, the\nCarnu\u00e9 land grant was planned for settlement in a location that proved\ndifficult to defend since the canyon is located at the entrance pass from the\nPlains into the middle Rio Grande valley, which was in the migration corridor\nof the Plains Apache, Kiowa, and Comanche tribes. Carnu\u00e9 would be hit by many\nraids and in April 1771, some of the settlers would request to abandon the\nsettlement. The residents of Carnu\u00e9, in the request to the alcalde (mayor) of\nAlbuquerque, stated that Carnu\u00e9 was far too dangerous to maintain and that they\nwere poorly armed to defend the constant attack of the village. The\nresettlement of Carnu\u00e9 would not occur until 1819 when some of the descendants\nof the 1763 genizaro and coyote settlers petitioned to reestablish the settlement\nat Carnu\u00e9 along with additional landless land less residents of various\nvillages in the Albuquerque area. The petitioners for the 1819 land grant were\nseeking opportunity as opposed to the servitude and peonage. During the\nre-settlement of the grant, two settlements were established, one in Carnuel at\nthe mouth of the Tijeras Canyon and the other, San Antonio de Padua, located on\nthe east slope of the Sand\u00eda Mountains. The boundaries of the grant were\ndescribed by Josef Marian de la Pe\u00f1a, secretary for Governor Facundo Melgares,\nas \u201cthe entrance of the Ca\u00f1on de San Miguel de Carnu\u00e9 to the Tijera, the width\nof the canyon west to east and here South to North as far as the cross set up\nto the North of San Antonio\u201d (SANM I, Reel 27, Frame 864-868). At San Antonio\nand Carnu\u00e9, two defensible compact plazas were established measuring fifty\nvaras (yards) square, and solares on the plaza were assigned. On February 5,\n1819 suertes were assigned in Carnu\u00e9 along the Rito de Carnue (Carnue Creek)\nand on February 26 of that same year, suertes also were assigned at San Antonio\nde Padua.&nbsp; The land grant organized as a\nCommunity Land Grant under the laws of New Mexico.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1763 Grant &#8211; Click to learn more about how &amp; why we originally came to this land grant! 1819 Grant &#8211; Click to learn more about how our land grant expanded 200 years ago!
