Many notable persons of the Spanish era of New Mexican history are buried in the church, among others, the Franciscan Father Juan de Jesus, who was killed by the Indians in the general revolution of 1680, and Diego de Vargas Zapatas, Lujan Ponce de Leon, Spanish Governor and reconqueror of New Mexico, who died in 1704.
