Anita Aldaco Montes: Bigamy

Anita Aldaco Montes (Maiden name unknown) born about 1900 in Cookspeak, NM.




Inmate #4456 New Mexico State Prison
Crime: Bigamy
Rec: 18 Nov 1919
Term: 2-2 years 1 month
Age: 19
Paroled 1921










I found her in the 1920 census in New Mexico State prison and then in the 1930 and 1940 census married to Jesus Montes with the following children.

Carmel 1916-
Louis 1921
Raymond 1923-
Arthur 1924
Leana 1925
Eleanor 1926
Maria 1928

I am not sure who the other husband would of been but I would assume Jesus to be her first and legal husband, due to her last name and the fact that her first child was born 3 years  before she went to prison. 


It's incredible that a 19 year old women would have 2 husbands in 1919, she looks like a tough cookie that has gone through some rough times.

I made her a tree on Ancestry and I will continue the search.
