Cristobal Nevares y Heredia, of about 25 years old arrived at Santiago Papasquiaro from Parral Chihuahua to take position as ‘Sargento Mayor’ or main sargent of the Presidio of Tepehuanes. He was the first person in Durango named Nevares or Nevarez, the latter being the present spelling of the surname. He took ownership of the Hacienda previously owned by Juan de Herrera Mojarras who was moved to Cerro Gordo to be under General Juan de Barraza.
This post describes his life as known today. A study of the evidence of his family and military campaigns is included.
