Andrés de Campo was born in Portugal but the exact year is not known. He was a member of Vázquez de Coronado's company. As the Expedition was deciding to return to New Spain, fray Juan de Padilla asked that Andrés accompany him back to Quivira. The captain general agreed. Apparently Andrés escaped during the killing of fray Juan and returned to Mexico. The question remains whether one reason Andrés was willing to go back to Quivira was to look for Bartolomé del Campo, perhaps a relative.
