The LeBaron and Langford family members were part of a breakaway religious community which settled in Mexico near the US border decades ago.
The mothers had 14 children with them when their vehicles were blasted by gunmen and set on fire.
A video on social media showed the charred and smoking remains of a car riddled with bullet holes.
Alex LeBaron, who lost family members in the attack, said three vehicles were targeted, taking the lives of three women, four small children and two infants.
He said: “Women and children were massacred, burnt alive. Mothers were screaming for the fire to stop.”
Donald Trump slammed the attacks, offering to send US troops to “clean out these monsters” but Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said: “I don’t think we need the intervention of a foreign government.”
The convoy had left
Bavispe in
Sonora state for La Mora in neighbouring
Chihuahua.
Gunmen shot one child who was running away before torching a car with family members inside. Other youngsters hid by the roadside while a mother was shot in the chest as she put her hands up to surrender.
One family member said a boy hid his wounded siblings – some who were less than a year old – in bushes before he ran back to the nearby town to get help.
Rhonita Maria LeBaron, 33, her twin six-month-old babies, Titus and Tiana, and her children Krystal, 10, and Howard, 12, were murdered along with Christina Langford Johnson, 29, Dawna Ray Langford, 43, and two of Dawna’s children, Trevor, 11, and Rogan, three.
It was unclear what motivated the ambush but local media reported it could have been a case of mistaken identity.
Sonora Governor Claudia Pavlovich Arellano said: “You have all my collaboration so that this doesn’t remain unpunished and the responsible parties pay.”
The attack came after an ambush last month in which 13 police officers were killed in Michoacan state. More than 33,000 were murdered in Mexico last year, a record which 2019 could break. BURNED Ambushed car
