The grant to the Town of Tomé was made in the year 1739 ; the new settlement was called ‘‘ Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion de Tomé Dominguez’’ and was named for the celebrated Captain Thomé Dominguez de Mendoza, who owned a rancho near by prior to the pueblo rebellion of 1680. The grant is as follows: ‘‘Sir Senior Justice: — All the undersigned appear before you, and all and jointly, and each one for himself, state, that in order that his excellency the governor may be-pleased to donate to them the land called Thomé Dominguez, granted to those who first solicited the same, and who declined settling thereon, we therefore ask that the land be granted to us; we therefore pray you to be pleased [eaten by mice] at that time [eaten by mice] said settlers, we being disposed to settle upon the same within the time prescribed by law; we pray you to be pleased to give us the grant which you have caused to be returned, as you are aware that our petition is founded upon necessity and justice, our present condition being very limited, with scarcity of wood, pasture for our stock, and unable to extend our cultivation and raising of stock in this Town of Alburquerque on account of the many foot-paths encroaching upon us, and not permitted to reap the ben- efits of what we raise, and, in_a measure, not even our crops.on account of a scarcity of water, and with most of us our lands are of little extent and much confined, ete.

On November 26, 1733, this decision was made known to the Tafoyas by the chief alcalde of Santa Cruz, Captain Juan Esteban Garcia de Noriega, and the Tafoyas, after hearing and understanding it, stated that they still had some statements to make in regard to the possession. The document abruptly ends in that way. Acting Captain-General. Governor. Lea rapes ad had been made by Governor Bustamante; that possession had been given by the chief alcalde, Captain Cristobal de Torres ; that the Indians had objected to the grantees being permitted to cultivate any lands on the tract granted, because such cultivation would interfere with the supply of water in the Santa Clara river, on which stream they depended for the cultivation of their own fields; that the Tafoyas then stated they did not want the grant for agricultural purposes but only as a ranch; that the Indians had no objections to it being used for that purpose, and that possession was given with that understanding. Also it was shown that the Tafoyas had settled the land, built houses, opened up the lands, and even built a chapel.
