He had two children with his first wife, María de la Luz Ruiz.

Before 1778, at Mission Loreto, he married María Ramona Noriega (ca. 1760-1802[3]), also widow, with whom he had eleven children who were taught to read and write by their mother.

After Ramona's death in 1802, on 12 April 1804, at Mission Santa Clara, he married the also widow Teresa Pinto.[4]

Descendants

His son, José María Amador, became the owner of Rancho San Ramón. Amador County was named in his honor.
