===Cajemé's families=== [[File:Maria-Salgado-c-1894.jpg|thumb|right|María Salgado Ramires, first wife of Cajemé, taken circa 1894]] It is known that Cajemé was married at least two times. His first wife was María Jesus Salgado Ramires. It appears that this was a traditional Yaqui marriage, as it does not appear to be recorded in the historic [[Roman Catholic Church]] records. Cajemé and María had two children, both born in Hermosillo: a son, Sotero Emiliano Leiva Salgado, born in 1863,<ref>Iglesia Católica, 1863</ref> and a daughter, Victoria Leiva Salgado, born in 1866 <ref>Iglesia Católica, 1866</ref> Mexican newspaper articles mention Cajemé's son from this marriage leading Yaqui soldiers in the fight against the Mexican forces, or fighting alongside his father in the years 1885 and 1886,<ref>La Constitucion, 1885; La Constitucion, 1886</ref> as well as his daughter leading some raids. His last appearance in the historical record that has been located is on May 4, 1889, where Emiliano Leiva is listed as a Padrino at the baptism of his sister, Victoria Leiva's, first child.<ref>Iglesia Católica, 1889</ref> Victoria was in 1885 noted (but not by name) as the daughter of Cajemé (Newark Daily Advocate, 1885). Victoria married a well-known businessman from [[Montmorenci, Indiana]], in the United States, named William E. Godman. Godman was working as a "ferrocarrilero," and had been living in Sonora since 1884. The marriage took place in Guaymas, on December 17, 1887, at the home of Don Antonio Moreno, a Senator from Sonora who was largely responsible for pushing through the development of the Sonora Railway.<ref>Moreno, 1880</ref> The marriage occurred just eight months after the death of Cajemé.<ref>Archivo General, 1887</ref> With the aide of her husband William, Victoria, along with her mother María, and her older brother Emiliano, were able to escape the continued persecution of the Yaqui people in Sonora. Godman and his family traveled first to the state of [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]]. The family returned to Sonora in 1892, and finally, in January 1900, entered the United States of America at [[El Paso, Texas]], not long after the infamous massacre of Yaquis at [[Battle of Mazocoba|Mazocoba]], in the heart of the Bacatete Mountains of Sonora. Godman eventually left Victoria and his daughters in El Paso and re-married. At the start of the [[Mexican Revolution]] Godman relocated to [[Puerto Barrios]], [[Guatemala]], where he accepted a position as Port Superintendent for the [[International Railways of Central America]] (I.R.C.A.), a subsidiary of the [[United Fruit Company]]. Victoria died on August 5, 1946, in [[Los Angeles, California]], having had four children and four grandchildren. Cajemé's second marriage was to María Jesús Maccima Matus Morales on June 14, 1878, recorded at San Fernando, Guaymas, Sonora.<ref>Iglesia Católica, 1878</ref> Dolores Salgado, the father of Cajemé's first wife, was one of the godparents (padrinos) of María Jesús Maccima Matus Morales at the time of her baptism on November 20, 1842.<ref>Iglesia Católica, 1842</ref> There were at least two children born to this union, the youngest being a son ("joven,"<ref>Corral, 1959 [1900]; also "pequeño hijo," Hernández, 1902, p. 147</ref>), and also a daughter.<ref>Troncoso, 1905, p. 111</ref> This family appears to be the one that Loreto Molina and his followers ran off, burning their home near Pótam in 1885.
