Hello. My 4th Great-Granduncle is Juan Francisco Xavier de Villalobos Guzmán, born 20 July 1760 in San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, México, to Sebastián Fabián de Villalobos Núñez and Thadea Gusmán (Guzmán), my 5th Great-Grandparents.

I'll see what I can gather on the Villalobos/Mendoza families.

In the meantime, I hope all is well. Stay safe.

"One of the most important Spanish families of Teocaltiche would be los Villalobos and
Chaves y Fragoso"

Good Luck!!

Buenas tardes RJ,

Este nombre y apellido me suena. Hace años revisando entre los archivos de la Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara vi la dispensa de don Juan Guerrero y Moctezuma (también Juan de Moctezuma Guerrero) y doña María de Cárdenas. No conservé una copia, pues realmente no me interesó, pero sí, un dato curioso. No recuerdo los padres, pero éste fue originario del Obispado de México, creo en Toluca o algún lugar en Hidalgo. Lo interesante del documento lo nombra como Cacique de tal pueblo.

Saludos,

Daniel Méndez de Torres y Camino

Dear Cynthia,

Though I don’t have more information on Julio Mercado’s parents, I do have a couple of puzzle pieces to add that may lead to more information. It seems that Julio is a couple of decades older than his wife Francisca Alvarado, so he may have had a previous marriage. Another lead is that his wife “Francisca Alvarado” is shown as “Francisca Pacheco” in two records.

Good luck,

Rick A. Ricci

I tried searching for this series but I can’t find it.

Thank you Jesus Ibarra for asking about the parents of Diego Zuñiga. Like you, I had also seen the erroneous posts naming Alonso de Zúñiga and Isabel de Villasirga as his parents. Thanks to your post asking for evidence, we now have clarification from Richard Ibarra as to his real parents, Diego Zuñiga and Mariana Diaz.

Thanks again to Richard Ibarra for providing the conclusive evidence,
Rick A. Ricci

Saludos Jesús,

No desciendo de Diego de Zúñiga, aunque si de sus suegros, pero le comparto el enlace a su testamento:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BF-7QQ5-W?i=7&cat=35…

No he podido leerlo muy bien, pero parece que era natural de Guadalajara, Jalisco y sus padres fueron Diego de Zúñiga y Mariana Díaz. No tengo otros datos sobre sus padres más de que fueron naturales de España. Espero que el testamento le sea útil.

Estimado Erik,

Thank you Erik for sharing your work. I enjoy reading about the information that you will present in your book. I descend from the Flores and Osorio families repeatedly. I also have descent from the Osorio family through the Cornejo family from “los Altos de Jalisco” that descends from the maternal aunt of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. In my research of these Cornejo ancestors, I read that there are some papers in the United States Capitol library that holds much information on their descent from Pedro Alvarez Osorio. There may be information in those records that shows the relationship between the Flores family and Pedro Alvarez de Osorio. Once I get ahold of these papers, I will share the information with you.

Some people have credited me for some of your work, but that is not my doing.They have given me credit finding the correct Juan Pantoja that is the father of Bernardina Mendoza. Whenever this has happened, I let them know that you are the one that provided me with the information proving that Pedro Pantoja was his uncle, and not his father.

I have also been given credit for finding some French ancestry of the “Reynoso,” but I give you credit for your work that led me to finding that one of the maternal ancestral lines of our Reynoso ancestors in Spain descends from French nobility, and is closely related to the English “Chamberlain” family.

I am eagerly awaiting your next books.

Thanks again for sharing,
Saludos,
Rick A. Ricci

can you share where you found that marriage dispensation record? I've gone through the marriages in the sagrada mitra for that time period and can't find it..

Thanks for the info and link!

For those with connections to San Antonio, I would to add that you have provided other good info here:

Thank you. I was very excited to find this post today. I believe Juan de la Torre and Maria Clara Chavez y Banuelos may be my 7th great grandparents. I have been researching them as possible parents of Agustin de la Torre (married to Catharina Gonzales). This gives me more to look at.

Hi, Maria Gertrudis Quesada born about 1709 is my 5th great grandmother.

I just wanted to pop in here and say that I descend from Felipe and Maria, along with Maria Gertrudis, their daughter, and Felipe and Maria's son Manuel.

I've searched for Felipe's parents for many years, with no success. It's very likely that he came from somewhere else (maybe another part of Zacatecas or Aguascalientes, where there are other Quezadas), but without a marriage record for Felipe and Maria, we may be out of luck. There is always a chance that there is a record out there with more information, perhaps unindexed.

Katy and Erlinda are my cousins; my DNA is on Ancestry and FTDNA, but I use initials-- JJ for FTDNA and R Ruiz for Ancestry. If you'd like, we can exchange info to see how close our cousinship is. I always like to add a new cousin to the tree!

Question?

Did Maria de la torre have a ranch in colotlan with the same name rancho maria de la torre?

I have some madera an ancestors that were there at that ranch during early 1700's

Anselmo,

It turns out that we do have some common ancestors.

I am related to you through Fermin A. Apecechea’s first wife, Maria Gertrudis Justa Flores y Garcia, who is the mother of Manuel Apecechea.

I descend from a third cousin of Maria Gertrudis Justa Flores y Garcia. There are also other common ancestral lines.

1)- Licenciado- Doctor Ginés de Mercado m. Ines de Vasquez

2)- Conquistador - capitán don Ginés Vázquez de Mercado an Ana Vasquez de Tapia (daughter of Bernardino Vázquez de Tapia)

3)- Ana Vázquez del Mercado y Tapia and Mateo del Rio de la Losa

4)- María del Rio y Losa and Andrés García de la Cadena

5)- *******Felipe Garcia de la Cadena

*******Felipe de Jesus (#6) is listed as a descendant of María del Rio y Losa and Andrés García de la Cadena and the Felipe Garcia de Cadena that is married to Bernardina Tello de Orozco is listed as a son of Andres Garcia de la Cadena, so it is highly likely that the two Felipe’s are the same person and he has two marriages.

- Felipe de Jesús García de la Cadena m. María Josefa López de Vargas. (Felipe de Jesus and Maria Josefa also have a son named Felipe Garcia de la Cadena, and another son named Bernardo.

6)- Antonia Victoria García de la Cadena, b. 1732 m. 1752 Manuel Flores Correa b. 1729

7)-María Gertrudis Justa Flores Correa y García de la Cadena, b. 1753 in Pánuco, Zacatecas, Mexico. m. 1782 Fermin Antonio Apecechea b. 1751.

8)- Manuel José Antonio Tomas Apezechea Flores Correa, b.14June1786. And Francisca Murillo (Morillo) (not married)

9)- Matias Apecechea b. ca 1811 m. 8/March/1833 Isidora Ruelas (daughter of Jose Ruelas and Victoriana de Ledesma

10)- Santiago de Apecechea b. ca 1840, d. 6/April/1892.

======================================================

1)- Juan Martinez de Correa and Juana

2)- Juana Correa, m. 29 Aug 1708 m. 29 Aug 1708 Pedro Flores Bustos c. 17/July/1673 (son of Mathias Flores and Ana de Bustos)

3)- Manuel Flores Correa b. 1729 m.1752 Antonia Victoria García de la Cadena, b. 1732 (daughter of Felipe de Jesús García de la Cadena y doña María Josefa López de Vargas)

4)- María Gertrudis Justa Flores Correa y García de la Cadena, b. 1753 in Pánuco, Zacatecas, Mexico. m. 1782 Fermin Antonio Apecechea b. 1751.

5)- Manuel José Antonio Tomas Apezechea Flores Correa, b.14June1786. And Francisca Murillo (Morillo) (not married)

6)- Matias Apecechea b. ca 1811 m. 8/March/1833 Isidora Ruelas (daughter of Jose Ruelas and Victoriana de Ledesma

7)- Santiago de Apecechea b. ca 1840, d. 6/April/1892.

Dear Anselmo,

I am curious as to your descent from the Apecechea family. Do you descend from Julio Apecechea and Maximiana Tamayo? They had few children as they both passed away at a relatively young age. Julio Apecechea was only forty years old when he passed away and his record identifies him as a widower.

https://sg30p0.familysearch.org/service/records/storage/dascloud/das/v2…

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

Fermin Antonio Apecechea returned to Spain in 1822. He passed away on 17/June/1834 in Cadiz, Andalucia, Spain. There is a street named after him, “Calle Fermin Antonio Apecechea” in Goizueta.

Fermin Antonio Apecechea returned to his beloved Spain. He was famous for many reasons, his work in mines, his government posts, the honors bestowed on him and his philanthropy for the provision of music education to children.

Pascual Ygnacio Eugenio Apecechea and Fermin Antonio Apecechea have a sister named “María Feliciana Romana Apecechea Flores Correa”.

María Feliciana Romana Apecechea Flores Correa is an ancestor of:

María del Rosario Jiménez Ruiz,VI Marquesa de Santa Rosa De Lima. She was born in 1989 in Madrid. Maria del Rosario was named after her maternal grandmother who was married to a “ Magistrado del Tribunal Supremo Español.” María del Rosario’s parents were first cousins, both of them descendants of Maria Feliciana Romana Apecechea Flores Correa.

I believe that Santiago Apecechea was born in Nayarit, and not in Zacatecas. His parents lived in Nayarit at the time of his birth. It is possible that his father may have been born in Zacatecas, The “Apecechea” had arrived from Spain the century before from Spain. The Apecechea first arrived in Mexico City in the 1700’s. From Mexico City, the family branched out to Guanajuato and other areas, like Nayarit.
Santiago Apecechea married almost immediately after his first wife’s death, which I found surprising.

Rick A. Ricci

The first wife of Matias Apecechea, Apolonia (Polonia) González, passed away on 14/Dec/1832 in Nayarit.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-MK9M-7Q?i=181&cc=18833…

Rick A. Ricci

Matias Apecechea and Isidora Ruelas are the parents of Santiago Apecechea. Santiago was approximately 51 years old according to his death record in 6/Apr/1892.

Matias and Isidora were married on 8/March/1833. Matias was previously married to Polonia Gonzalez. Matias Apecechea is “hijo natural” de Francisca Murillo.

There was a VillaNueva in what is now “Los Altos de Jalisco.”

Ignacio Apecechea was originally from Goizueta, Navarrra España before he came to Nueva Galicia. It will be difficult, though not impossible, to connect Matias Apecechea to Ygnacio Apecechea because Matias was a “hijo natural.”. Ygnacio is most likely his grandfather or great grandfather.

Hello Anna,

I believe that I may have found Otilia Cedillo’s family. However, I need more information to verify that they are the same person. Was your Otilia Cedillo born in 1910? Do you have any other information that will help identify her?

Please add information on Otilia’s children so that I can compare the information with what I have found.

A key piece of information that will help identify which Otilia Cepeda is your great grandmother is to know the birthdate of your grandmother, Irene Jenny Aguilar Lopez.

Thanks, Rick A. Ricci

¿Será la misma persona el Gonzalo Fernández de Sevilla que testó el 26 de junio de 1515 y que era judío reconciliado? Su esposa era la Isabel Suárez (diferente a Constanza Diaz de Villalobos) y tenían por lo menos seis hijos: Beatriz Suárez*, Juan Fernández, Fernando Suárez, Leonor Suárez, Ines Suárez, y Luisa Fernández.

Fernández was given penance of 47,080 maravedis. Sometimes the Inquisition would give a financial penalty as penance, but the reconciled person could not count on the Inquisition accepting it. "Esto es lo que le debió de occurir al mercader Gonzalo Fernández, vecino de la colacion de San Bartolome. Harto ya de ser mareado con moratorias, Fernández presentó el 7 de abril de 1515 por medio de escribano a Villacís una carta misiva que el Consejo de la Inquisicion le habia dirigido al receptor, ordenandole que tomara al mercader 47.080 mrs. en cuenta de pago de su penitencia. Villacís se limitó a decir que respondería; parece que la carta tajante del Consejo no le daba ya resquicio para zafarse de considerar pagados los famosos 47.080 mrs., mas no hay que subestimar a Villacís, un zorro viejo que se las sabía todas."
He sent merchandise to Hispaniola consigned to Bernardo de Jerez, who at Gonzalo's death owed him certain monies.
Don Fernando de la Torre, dean and canon, was named tutor and caretaker of the children. A.P.S. VI 1516 [=3976].

Esta información la encontré en Los Conversos y la Inquisicion Sevillana, by Juan Gil, Universidad de Sevilla, 2001, vol 2, p 196; vol 3, p 512; vol 4, pp 65-66.

*Beatriz Suárez se casó con Beltrán de Cetina y Alcocer, y uno de sus hijos fue el poeta y soldado Gutierre de Cetina, nacido en 1519 en Sevilla y muerto en 1554 en Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz-Llave, Mexico.

I have not ever found a death record, comparable to a civil record. However, it is normal for there to be church records of "sepultura eclesiástica," which may or may not give any indication of the death date.

Not necessarily.

A complicating factor is that the death occurred during the period of the Crisero War, or La Cristiada, when the Church was severely persecuted. See the WikiPedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristero_War

Interesante, no había leído el testamento que otorgo Luis

En nombre de Dios todo poderoso amen. Notorio sea por la presente como yo Don Luis de Porras y Villavicencio hijo legítimo de D. Ju. Núñez de Villavicencio y de Doña Magdalena de Porres y Baranda, ya difuntos, vecinos que fueron de esta ciudad de Guadalajara…

4. Ytt. Declaro que yo estoy gozando el mayorazgo que fundo Diego de Porres baranda mi abuelo, y habiendo casado de segundo matrimonio con Da. Francisca de Arellano y Zúñiga mujer que había sido de señor Don Gerónimo de Aldas y Hernández oidor de esta Rl. Audiencia, recibí con la susodicha nueve mil pesos pertenecientes a la tutela de don Gerónimo y don domingo de Aldas sus hijos menores y de dicho señor oidor y maestre mil pesos que yo le di de arras que unos y otros hicieron dos mil (ilegible)…

Saludos Erik,

Desafortunadamente, no conozco los padres de Clemente. Pero por casualidad estoy leyendo algunos de los protocolos de Guadalajara y encontré un arrendamiento de hacienda por parte de Luis de Porras Villavicencio a Clemente de Arellano.

Here is one Bernardo Garcia de Cadena. I don’t know if he is the same one that you are looking for. I doubt it as this one has a sister born in 1732.

6)- Felipe de Jesús García de la Cadena m. María Josefa López de Vargas

7)- Bernardo García de la Cadena

According to the Diccionario de la lengua española, in this context pardo and mulato are synonyms.

pardo, da

Del lat. pardus 'leopardo', por alus. a su color, y este del gr. πάρδος párdos.

5. adj. Ant., Arg., Ec., Hond., Méx., Perú, Ur. y Ven. p. us. mulato (‖ nacido de negro y blanca, o de blanco y negra). U. m. c. s.

I think the document does say her age, if I recall correctly. I believe she was in her early 30s at the time. It never says which Hernan Flores de la Torre is the father, so all we can safely assume is that Hernan Flores de la Torre and Ana de Sandi are grandparents or great grandparents. There's Hernan Flores de la Torre y Sandi and another Hernan Flores de la Torre who is the son of Luis Flores de la Torre y Sandi (I don't have the name of Luis' wife. I've seen a Maria Delgadillo but no sources.) I really wish people wouldn't add parents without sources. I know linking sources is time consuming, but at least put a note giving us a clue!

PETRA BAÑUELOS POSADAS, de quien es hija? nace 30 abril 1792 en Guadalcazar SLP.
se casa 26 de junio 1816,en Guadalcazar, con: JOSE EDUARDO ELIZALDE GARCIA.

Out of curiousity have you come across the name Juana Banuelos B:(abt)1840 D:(abt)1890 in your research . She is the great grandmother of my father . Her parents were Simon Banuelos B:(abt)1810 and Agapita Garcia B:(1810). Another name in talk was a woman named Seferina Banuelos . Appreciate your time .

Son dos apellidos diferentes,
BAÑUELOS JUAN, de la jurisdicción del Monte de Escobedo, hijo legítimo de Dionisio Bañuelos y de Catalina de Lamas, difuntos. Casado por el Bachiller don Bartolomé Cervantes Negrete en Jimulco el 15 de noviembre de 1716 y velado el día 16 con Inés Muñoz, española, vecina de la jurisdicción de Jerez, hija legítima de Marcos Muñoz, difunto y de doña María de Olague. Padrinos: Juan de Miranda y Luisa Carrillo. Testigos: el Bachiller don Juan Antonio Rangel Presbítero, Clemente de Acula y Juan de Olague. Fojas: 69 vuelta –70.

SALVADOR CABRAL VALDES

Re: <>

My last known Banuelos ancestor is Juan Banuelos, who was married to Maria Ignez Muñoz. Both date back to the late 1600's and early 1700's. According to your data, Juan's father was Dionisio Banuelos, whose name comes up repeatedly in my review of the church records from Mezquitic (Mesquitic) Jalisco. I suspect these are the same people. In reviewing the data from Mezquitic, it is clear that the Banuelos families had a huge number of offspring, so it is no wonder that there are a largne number of people who may be related to the Banuelos mentioned above.

I do have a couple of questions however. Can you give me further data on your information? That is, can you tell me where to look that would verify what Mr. Valdes and Mr. de la Torre have told you about Dionisio Banuelos, the last known Banuelos? I am familiar with Mr. de la Torre as a genealogist but would like a primary source, rather than a secondary oral one.

The second question, if not the more interesting one, is one relates to the wife of Dionisio Banuelos, i.e. Catalina de Lamas. Is the latter person's apellido Lamas or Llamas. In reviewing Ancestry.com the above mentioned Salvador Cabral Valdes has made mention of the Llamas, not Lamas, of Jerez Zacatecas, see http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.mexico.zacatecas/832.1.3/…. Again, are the Lamas the same as the Llamas?

I am not trying to be difficult but only trying to obtain more information and verify old.

Thank you,

Ed Serros

It is a good exercise to take the "casts" with a grain of salt, this terms were, in real life very loosely used in colonial México, thus you will see for example that among siblings there could be different casts, or very often the word "mulato" for actual "meztiso" people. etc.

Although Moro refers originally to an African Muslim, in my personal point of view, I found that "morisco" was likely used to denote a child of darker skin color but not dark enough to be a "mulato" probably similar to what we call today "trigueño", this regardless of the actual ethical background.

The following might help.
