Hello, everyone!
I have a question concerning ancestor Ana de Quesada (born c. 1615, died before 22 November 1660), who married Miguel Hernández Rubio.
WikiTree suggests that her parents may have been Juan López de Lizalde and Ana de Quesada. Is there any evidence supporting this possible identification beyond her approximate date of birth and the fact that she is referred to as “Ana de Mendoza” in the marriage record of her daughter, María Rubio?
I'm trying to sort this out because we appear to have three ancestors named Ana de Quesada, all from Lagos and all living within approximately the same time period. It is becoming a bit confusing!
The three women are:
- Ana de Quesada, married c. 1634 to Miguel Hernández Rubio
- Ana de Quesada, whose first proven child was born in 1649 (Pedro b. 4 Nov 1649, padrinos: Pedro Gómez Portugal y Isabel Ortiz). This Ana de Quesada is possibly about ten years younger than the other two Anas or perhaps this was her second marriage; she married Gaspar Gómez de Portugal (identified as "Gómez de Portugal" in the 14 Nov 1674 marriage record of their son "Nicolàs Gómez de Portugal," Gaspar is possible, but unproven son of Pedro Gómez de Portugal and Isabel Ortiz de Anda)
- Ana de Quesada (daughter of María Alonso), married Juan de Saavedra (son of Juan de Saavedra) on 27 July 1633 (padrinos: Lorenzo López de Padilla y sumuger Ana de Nava)
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts, documentation, or reasoning that might help distinguish these three women and clarify the possible parentage of the Ana de Quesada who married Miguel Hernández Rubio.
(Related note: I'm wondering if the last two individuals named Ana de Quesada on the above list are perhaps the same individual with multiple marriages.)
I'm still trying to piece this family together!
(I linked documents from family search within the above text.)
Just found this.
I'm assuming this refers to the Alonso de Quesada who married Juana Bautista Hernández de Arellano.
I believe I found the most likely candidate for the wife of Miguel Hernández Rubio.
Thank you

Postscript:
I'm especially interested to discover more about Ana de Quesada (cc Miguel Hernández Rubio). If she is indeed the daughter of Juan López de Lizalde and Ana de Quesada, then we will officially be descended from ALL the known daughters of Toribio Hernández de Arellano and Isabel de Mendoza.
That would be amazing.
Also, this may not mean anything but could be a clue to her identity, but I'm fairly certain the Ana de Quesada, who married Juan de Saavedra, was Española as their daughter, María de Saavedra , is referred to as Española in her baptismal record (1 October 1634). Ana de Quesada is referred to in that record as "Ana Alonso."
Thank you,
