José Antonio Laureano de Zubiría

In September 1834 he wrote to Colonel Blas de Hinojos, the military commander of New Mexico, praising him for his decision to support the centralist Plan of Cuernavaca.

He urged the priests to make greater efforts to baptize Pueblo children, and to bring the Pueblos into the church.

He may have passed on some of his views to Ramón Ortiz y Miera, who came to study under him in Durango in 1832, and later was repatriate commissioner after the Mexican-American War.
