Quill platform ID: p15665.

(October 30, 1815 — April 21, 1875) Gallegos was a theologian and politician. Jose Gallegos was born in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. He studied theology at the College of Durango, in the Republic of Mexico and joined the Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Mexico from 1843 to 1846. When New Mexico became an American Territory, Gallegos served as a member of the first Territorial Council of New Mexico in 1851. He later served in the Territorial House of Representatives (1860-1862) and as the Treasurer of the Territory (1865-1866). Gallegos presented his credentials as the Delegate-elect to Congress in March 1853, but his election was contested and he was succeeded by Miguel A. Otero. He was later elected as a Democrat to the Forty-Second Congress, and he served from March 4, 1871 to March 3, 1873.
