His wife was Catalina de Salazar, who was a widow by 1663. At this time we learn that Luis had been the Alcalde Mayor and Captain of the Tewa jurisdiction.l7 Catalina was very likely a daughter of Captain Sebastian Rodriguez de Salazar. Luis' descendants can be distinguished from those of his brother Hernan because they sometimes appended her Salazar name to that of their father. Luis Martin Serrano II was, in all likelihood, their son, as also a Pedro Martin Serrano de Salaaar."⁽³²⁸⁾
