Teresita Sandoval: Born in New Mexico in 1811, Teresita Sandoval married Manuel Suaso at 14 and soon thereafter left her native Taos for the northern reaches of New Spain. There, she helped found the settlements of El Pueblo, Hardscrabble and Greenhorn. In 1836, with her 4 children, she moved to a buffalo ranch near the junction of the Fountain and Arkansas Rivers where she lived with Matthew Kinkead, the father of her 5th child. Dreams of her illusive happiness eventually led her away from Kinkead and into the arms of Alexander Barclay. Barclay adored her and drew a sketch of her complete with a blue reboso and a tub of fresh-washed laundry. When Barclay died in 1855, Teresita moved to a one room adobe house on the ranch of Joseph Doyle (on the Huerfano River) where she remained until she died at the age of 83.

Maria Teresa "Teresita" Sandoval Suazo (1811-1894) is among the founders of Pueblo, Colorado.
Maria Teresa "Teresita" Sandoval was born in Taos, New Mexico in 1811.[1]
Sandoval and her second companion, Matthew Kinkead, formed a trading partnership in Arkansas River and were among the founders of Fort El Pueblo, the present Pueblo, Colorado. She also helped founding the settlements of Hardscrabble and Greenhorn.[1]
Around 1828 Teresita Sandoval married Jose Manuel Suazo and they had four children, Juana "Juanita" Marie Suazo Simpson (1828-1916), Maria de la Cruz, José, and Rufina.[2] The family moved to Mora, New Mexico and there, around 1835, Sandoval met Matthew Kinkead, a Kentucky native. She left her husband to live with Kinkead. They moved to Arkansas River and the Fort El Pueblo. A few years after moving to the Fort El Pueblo, Kinkead moved to California with their son, Juan.[2] Later, around 1843, Sandoval met Alexander Barkley or Barclay, a British trader. In 1844 Sandoval moved with Barkley to the Mexican side of the United States-Mexican border. In 1853 Sandoval left Barkley and moved with a daughter, Maria De La Cruz "Cruzita" Suaso Doyle (b. 1831), and son-in-law, Joseph Doyle.[2] She remained with them until her death in 1894, and is buried at Plaza Cemetery, Pueblo, Colorado.[1]
Prior to 1848, when the Mexican-American War ended, Mexican law allowed women to inherit and purchase land and livestock, to share ownership with their husbands, to establish their own businesses, and to begin divorce proceedings. After 1848, the new United States laws deprived women of these rights.[1]
