According to Jonathan Batkin, Marianita Roybal (San Ildefonso Pueblo) is the earliest potter identified by name. He states that she was an important potter until at least 1910. She was identified and listed in the 1850 U. S. Census Report. Maria Martinez knew her and told Kenneth Chapman in 1947 that her sister Maximiliana (Anna) and her husband Crescencio painted some of Marianita’s pottery.
