Manuel A. Otero, of Valencia County, New Mexico, moved to the Tome area where he built a grist mill and with William Skinner established a large freighting outfit, consisting of many mule teams which carried his wool and pelts to the railroad, and took back merchandise and other consigned freight belonging to his neighbors on the Rio Grande. He also built a magnificent mansion there, which he named "La Constancia." He served as probate judge at Tome from 1874-76 when Tome was the county seat of Valencia County. The old courthouse and jail are still standing. The date it was built and the name of Judge Manuel A. Otero are carved in sandstone over the door. Manuel A. Otero was a director of the First National Bank in Albuquerque.
The Las Vegas Daily Optic of Monday, February 27th, had this mention of his death: "Another link that binds us to the past has been severed by the death at a ripe old age of Don Manuel A. Otero at La Constancia, Valencia County, on Saturday. The disease that carried him off was typhoid pneumonia. Don Manuel was an older brother of Don Miguel A. Otero, and the father of Mrs. Dr. Henriquez of this city. The deceased was surrounded by every comfort that heart could wish; he was an excellent man, kind, considerate, thoughtful and his life was singularly free from the vices and follies of our common humanity.
All respected him for his many virtues. In the several spheres of husband, father, and citizen, he occupied a position of worthy of emulation. One by one the old settlers are passing away. They will all soon be gone." Don Manuel was born on March 20th, 1815 and had not quite reached the age of sixty-seven years.
According to Tibo A. Chavez and Gilberto Espinoza, authors of "El Rio Abajo", "There were three small Spanish land grants in this area- The Bosque de los Pinos, now the Bosque Farms area, claimed by the Otero family, the Ojo de la Cabra, known as Goat Springs, which was claimed by Manuel A. Otero under a family grant, and the Lo de Padilla Grant, which was located just south and east of the Isleta lands." "The Valencia area began to progress and develop. In the middle 1840's, the Otero brothers, Juan Jose, Antonio and Manuel A. Otero, were prominent merchants and stock raisers in the Valencia area. These families are not mentioned in the original families of Valencia. Soon the Oteros became the leading businessmen and politicians in the community, and began to take control and direct its destiny. The intermarriage of the Luna and the Otero families brought advantages and further prestige to both families. Antonio Jose Otero moved to Peralta, where he maintained his business headquarters. The Oteros and Lunas soon became the wealthiest and most influential families in the state."
"Governor Bartolome Baca established his hacienda in the vicinity of Belen in the early 1800's. Bartolome Baca served as Governor of New Mexico from 1823 to 1825. He served as the third governor under Mexican rule. Governor Baca also served as Captain of the militia for the Rio Abajo, and at one time served as Alcalde of Tome and Belen in the early 1800's. Governor Baca acquired large holdings of land on the east side of the Manzano Mountains, known as the Estancia Valley. It is estimated that at one time the land grant of Baca on the east side of the mountain contained over a million acres, where he pastured his large flock of sheep and herds of cattle and horses."
"Manuel A. Otero, of the distinguished Otero family, originaly from Valencia, moved to the Tome area and located a grist mill in the area of La Constancia, which he named. The grist mill was a water-wheel type of a mill which was operated by the flow of water taken from the local acequia. Wheat and corn were plentiful in th rich valley, and soon the mill was grinding all of the corn and wheat up to capacity. The local farmers had no money to pay the miller, so they paid him in kind for milling their grain. Soon, however, difficulties developed between the farmers in the upper ditch and Don Manuel A.
Otero. The farmers felt that Senor Otero was using too much of the water for his mill and the farms were suffering. The matter ended up in the Juez de Paz, or Justice of the Peace Court, where an amicable agreement was reached as to the use and disbursement of the water as between the parties affected. Prior to the death of Governor Baca, Manuel A. Otero claimed to have purchased the Estancia Land Grant from the Baca family. Manuel B. Otero, son of old Manuel, decided to take possession of the Estancia Land Grant in the late 1880's. However, the Whitney family of Boston, late-come millionaires, also claimed the land grant. In true western style and tradition, bad blood developed between the Whitney and Otero factions. Both of them were well-surrounded by their vaqueros. At a "shoot-out" between the Otero supporters and the Whitney faction, which was partly arranged and partly by accident, Joel P. Whitney was shot eleven times in the blood battle that ensued. Manuel B. Otero was less fortunate and lost his life. James Whitney was brought to trial for the murder of Manuel B. Otero, but the evidence was not sufficient to convict him. Litigation over the land grant continued for many years, but the United States Government did not recognize the validity of the land grant to either Baca or his successors in title. The land was subsequently thrown open to new settlers under the Homestead Act.
"During the time that the Oteros were powerful in the Rio Abajo, Tome was the county seat of Valencia County, from 1852 to 1872. Manuel A. Otero served as probate judge from 1874 to 1876. The old courthous and jail at Tome stll stand today on the property of Eliseo Salazar, and over the door of the courthouse, in brown sandstone, is carved the date the courthouse was established, and the name of Manuel A. Otero, probate judge. During the transition period, the probate judge had acquired considerable power and jurisdiction and was more powerful than the justice of the peace in matters of jurisdiction and authority. Soon, however, the probate judge declined in power and authority and the office was limited mostly to probate matters of estates."
