Cristóbal Velázquez was present at the 1540 muster as Cristóbal Velasco, a member of Vázquez de Coronado's company. This was a scribal error, perhaps due to the two previous Velascos in the captain general's company. Cristóbal later accompanied fellow expeditionary Luna y Arellano to Florida in 1560 and then moved on to Peru.
