trated there, as at many of the other pueblos, must simply be taken
for granted.
(5) The Escape of the Spaniards at Los Cerrillos.-The num-
ber of Spaniards in the. Tanos and neighboring districts in 1680
is not recorded, though if any escaped the revolt of that year they
were doubtless among the refugees at Los Cerrillos.' These peo-
ple, mentioned as being "from the estancias and haciendas of Los
Serrillos," and whose numbers are not given, were defending them-
selves in the house of the sarjento mayor, Vernabe Marquez, when
on the 12th of August their situation became critical, and they
sent notice of their condition to the Governor, asking that aid be
furnished them in order that they might be able to join him in
Santa F6.2 Otermin despatched the necessary aid to them that
night, and they and the Spaniards at La Cafiada are the only
two bodies of refugees that are mentioned by Otermin as being
able to join him in the villa after the outbreak of August 10.3
4. The Revolt of the Queres and Jemez Indians
(1) Location and Population of their Pueblos.-Occupying a
central position in the northern Rio Grande valley and extending
from the pueblo of Santo Domingo on the east to the Jemez River
on the west, and from the junction of that river with the Rio
Grande in the south to the Tewa nation in the north was the
country of the Queres and Jemez Indians, which for administra-
tive purposes the Spaniards organized into one jurisdiction, known
as "La Jurisdicion de Yndios Xemes y Queres."4 Of the Queres
pueblos Cochiti, Santo Domingo, and San Felipe were situated
on the Rio Grande; Santa Ana and Sia, two other small Queres
'According to Bancroft, Arizona and New Mexico, 214, a settlement of
Los Cerrillos (spelled Los Serrillos in the contemporary documents) is
mentioned in the records as early as 1695, though he does not locate it.
The present Los Cerrillos is a few miles west of the pueblo of San Marcos,
while the sitio of the Los Cerrillos grant, the date of which is not given,
is only a few miles south of La Ci6nega. The documents bearing on the
revolt of 1680 do not locate it; in fact they mention it only twice. I
judge that it was somewhere between San Marcos and La Cienega. It
is therefore a reasonable assumption that some of the refugees there
were inhabitants of the Tanos and neighboring districts.
