Josefa Candelaria de Lucero was born on the 14th of July 1839 in Albuquerque and baptized on the 19th of July of the same year at San Felipe de Neri. Her father is unknown and she carries her mother's surname. Her baptismal record indicates she is the "natural" daughter of Isabel Candelaria. The father is listed as "desconocido" unknown. She is the legitimate wife of Jesús José Lucero (of the Lucero de Godoy line) who she married on the 8th of January 1855 where she is listed again as single and natural daughter of Isabel Candelaria.
During the 1870 census she is noted as living with Mr. Melchor Werner and cited as "keeping house" at the age of 28 years old. And is listed as "Werner."
In 1881 Mrs. Candelaria de Lucero had her first child with Melchor, Sofia Josefa Werner. In the San Felipe de Neri baptismal record for Sofia the priest indicates she was an adulterous daughter of Josefa and Melchor, but the word adulterous was striken and superscripted with the word "illigimate." Likely because at this point in time Josefa and Melchor were not married and in the eyes of the church Josefa's legitimate husband continued to be Jesús José.
In 1900, it appears that Mrs. Candelaria de Lucero must have rekindled an old love and rejoined her first husband Jesús José in Old Albuquerque along with a 19 year old Sofia.
In the 1910 census, Mrs. Candelaria de Lucero is again enumerated in her home in Old Albuquerque, but listed as a widow and living with Sofia and her husband David.
Lastly in 1911, the San Felipe de Neri burial record cites her husband as Jesús with no mention of Melchor. Died of died of stomach cancer.
