Domingo Martín

Brief Biography

Domingo Martín was born around 1501 to Bartolomé Martín Salgado and Beatriz Alonso, natives of Las Broças (Cáceres province). Domingo was one of the oldest expeditionaries at 39 and one of the more experienced. He arrived in New Spain in 1518 with Grijálva, who was sent to stop Cortés. For his service in the conquest he was given several encomiendas. During the Expedition he left his wife, Leonor Díaz, in Mexico City. Domingo was present at the 1540 muster as a member of Vázquez de Coronado's company. After his return from Tierra Nueva he assumed governmental offices and received payments due to his participation in the conquest. Apparently Leonor died and by the 1550s Domingo had remarried. Although some of the documentary record does not clearly state that a particular Domingo Martín was also the expeditionary, it is highly likely that it does pertain to the expeditionary.
