Josefa Baca, a descendant of colonists arriving in 1600, acquired the Sitio de San Ysidro de Pajarito, including a hacienda and a large tract of land south of present-day Albuquerque. Born about 1685 and dying in 1746, she established a ranch with 950 head of sheep, horses, cattle, and goats bearing her livestock brand, and became the progenitor of generations of New Mexicans. The Village of Pajarito developed around the Baca family compound. Josefa's son Antonio sold the Pajarito tract to Clemente Gutierrez, whose heirs sought confirmation of their claim from the surveyor general in 1877. On the presumption that a grant had been made to Josefa Baca, the Court of Private Land Claims confirmed the Pajarito Land Grant in 1894 and patented it in 1914. Five generations after Josefa's death, her land and ranch remained with the same family, passing to a fifth great-granddaughter and direct descendant, Juliana Gutierrez, wife of James Hubbell, while the surviving hacienda, lands, acequias, and orchards testified to the family's prosperity.
