INQUISICION MEXICANA EN LAGOS: Lopez, Sanchez de Mendoza, Sanchez de Lara

Hola prim@s,

Comentarios

Comentario

Great find Manny! Daniel Mendez Camino was the first to bring to my attention Toribio’s son Gabriel Sanchez. Gabriel’s sister, Marta Hurtado De Mendoza, married his wife’s brother, Juan Sanchez De Lara. In a secondary source I read that Toribio had a son named Cristobal, But this is the first time that I read about a primary source identifying him. I found Gabriel’s marriage record, but have no other information on him. I have been unable to find descendants, or any other information about these two brothers. Do you have a wife for Cristobal? Is there any other information on Gabriel and Cristobal?

I wonder why Cristobal Sanchez is the one that “quiso Matar a Alo López”. Was Cristobal Sanchez’s wife, sister, or daughter one of the women found to have a relationship with Padre Alonso Lopez De Espinar?

It’s great that ages are provided so that we can better approximate their dates of birth.

Thanks again,
Rick A. Ricci

Comentario

Hi Rick
Mariana de Mendoza and Ysabel Sanchez de Lara were 2 of the women whom Alo Lopez tried to seduce. And I’m glad you asked, because I just realized I misread the text: Cristobal Sanchez was NOT the brother of Gabriel Sanchez, but of his wife, Ysabel Sanchez de Lara. So, backtrack: Toribio Hernandez cc Ysabel de Mendoza did not have a son named Cristobal Sanchez, it was the son of Juan Sanchez cc Elvira Gil de Lara, who reacted as any brother would, and wanted to kill Lopez.
As for Mariana de Mendoza's husband, I had always seen him as "Rodrigo" de Olivares, rather than "Cristobal." I found a testamento for a Rodrigo de Olibares cc Maria de Mendoza, natl de Puebla de LA, hijo de Juan de Olibares cc Francisca Rodriguez. Would this be the same Rodrigo de Olibares?

Comentario

Dear Manny,
Thank you for the clarification. I am back to one son for Toribio Hernández.Have you found an age or any other information on Gabriel Sanchez?

I am also curious about Diego Gomez. It says he is a cousin of padre Alonso Lopez. Is there any more information that you can find on this Diego Gomez?

Thanks again,
Rick

Comentario

Dear Manny,

I believe that the confusion regarding Cristobal Sanchez explains why someone else also mistakenly believed that Cristobal was a son of Toribio Hernández Arellano. This clarification is important to me as I will no longer take time trying to connect him to Toribio.

Thanks,

R A. Ricci

Hi Rick,

No other info is given on Diego Gomez, other than he is primo hermano of Padre Alonso Lopez. Nor is any more info given on Gabriel Sanchez.

Hi Alex & Danny,

Here is the testamento of Rodrigo de Olivares, who was born in Cdad de Los Angeles, son of Juan de Olivares cc Francisca Rodriguez. This Rodrigo de Olivares lived in SLP, as early as 1616, and was married to another Maria de Mendoza - who was daughter of Cristobal de Olivares cc Maria de Mendoza. They married around 1603. This is the same couple who baptized Bernabe on 18 Jun 1604, in Guadalajara, Jal. Bernabe is mentioned in the testamento.

YDNA IP37 surname Gutierrez - Mystery

Happy early New Year! primos from Jalisco Posting this in case members have clues on some deadends in my Jalisco genealogy. This is my dad's side of the house.

I'm afraid that if you're relying on this level of DNA Y chromosome analysis you may not get much insight without additional research. The I-P37 haplogroup is just big. To quote one of the great comic writers, this quote applies here as well: "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is."
https://www.familytreedna.com/public/y-dna-haplotree/I;name=I-P37

My paternal line also belongs to the I-P37 haplogroup, but I have needed to do further analysis to refine my particular line down to I-FT163369 haplogroup. The issue with using this to search is that last names changed from father to son often and for many reasons. In my instance for example, Juan Lozano's (1530, Lobon, Spain) offspring used a variety of surnames, including Lozano, de Isla, Gonzalez, Gonzalez de Isla, etc.

Keep hunting because you will eventually make a breakthrough. For instance, have you thought about upgrading your dad's DNA sample to get a higher resolution that would help with potential matches? In my case, I did this and all of a sudden I was matching with various folks who had a Lozano last name for their paternal lines--this seemed odd at the time, but of course now makes sense!

Comentario

Victor Gutierrez and Vicenta Vasquez baptized Maria Cleofas in 1861 in Villa Hidalgo, Jalisco; she was born on Cieneguilla. According to her partida, her grandparents were Fernando Gutierrez cc Andrea Medina, and Maximo Vasquez cc Gregoria Ramirez:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-5996-M9?i=48&cc=1874591

My guess is that someone in your paternal Gutierrez line was an hijo natural and used his mother’s surname (Gutierrez), and his biological father was a Valdes de Flores.

Good luck!
Manny Díez Hermosillo

Comentario

I was thinking this too. I was hoping it might be something very close like maybe my dad having another father but I cannot prove this. Two options are the male changed his surname for some reason or the mother had a child out of wedlock you say so I would be looking for a female with the surname Gutierrez. I did see the line you noted above but wasn't sure if it was documented. Thank you - I will update the tree and keep looking.

Descendientes de la nobleza española en México

Hola todos:

En esta ocasión quiero aprovechar la oportunidad de preguntarles ¿Cuántos de ustedes han logrado enlazar sus linajes con la nobleza española?

Comentarios

Comentario

Hola a todos,
Quisiera aportar un poco al tema, La familia Portocarrero eran unos nobles de cerca del puerto de Palos en el sur de España, se heredaban el título de “Señor de Moguer”.
Una de las herederas, María Portocarrero y Enríquez (1430-1470) conocida también como “IV Señora de Moguer” se casó con Juan Pacheco, Marqués de Villena (1419-1474). Tuvieron una hija llamada Francisca de Pacheco y Portocarrero (1450-1514), quien se casó con Iñigo López de Mendoza y Quiñones (1442-1515).
Iñigo y Francisca tuvieron como hijos, entre otros, a Antonio de Mendoza y Pacheco (1495-1552) quien fue el primer Virrey de la Nueva España y a Diego Hurtado de Mendoza y Pacheco (1503-1575) quien fue diplomático, se dice que fue amigo de Santa Teresa de Jesús y se le atribuye “El Lazarillo de Tormes”. Diego se casó con María Sánchez (1510-1554) y tuvieron a su hija Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza (1536-1580) que nació en Aguascalientes.
Isabel se casó con Toribio Fernández de Hijar y Arellano (1530-1600) quien había tomado el apellido de su madre pues su padre era descendiente de una familia judía. Los descendientes de Toribio e Isabel tomaron combinaciones de los apellidos Hurtado, Mendoza, Sánchez, quienes fueron parte de la fundación de Aguascalientes.
Otros apellidos que se agregaron a la familia por matrimonio fueron Becerra, López de Elizalde, Luébana y Medina. Considerando el pequeño nombre de familias que llegaron a la Nueva Galicia y que tenían muchos hijos, terminaron por casarse entre ellos y forzosamente en Aguascalientes, Jalisco y Zacatecas tenemos antepasados comunes.

Comentario

Hola Jorge,

No creo que Isabel Mendoza, esposa de Toribio Hernández Arellano, sea hija del Diego Hurtado de Mendoza Pacheco. Si he visto que dicen que el Diego Hurtado de Mendoza que vino en el servicio de Antonio Mendoza es familiar, pero no lo nombran como hermano. Y a este Diego Hurtado de Mendoza nunca he podido encontrar la información de su esposa. Si he podido juntar información sobre sus antepasados y sigo buscando pruebas que el sea padre de Isabel.

Lo Sánchez viene por antepasados de Toribio Hernández Arellano, y no por Isabel.

Gracias,
Ricardo A. Ricci

Comentario

Hola Rick,
Gracias por tu mensaje, efectivamente, encontré que Diego Hurtado de Mendoza y Pacheco fue diplomático en Europa, principalmente en Inglaterra e Italia y creo que nunca vino a México.
Encontré también que hubo otro Diego Hurtado de Mendoza que fue enviado a Nueva Galicia y sus límites al norte y al Pacifico pero por lo pronto no encuentro nada mas de él aparte de que tuvo conflictos con Nuño de Guzmán.
A suivre…

Comentario

I want to apologize for originally stating a couple of years ago that Miguel Cervantes was not related to Leonel Cervantes through the Cervantes line. I had originally posted:

"""""""""Miguel Cervantes no es de los mismos Cervantes. Miguel Cervantes no tiene Avellaneda. Miguel Cervantes escribio un arbol de genealogia que no era la verdad. El arbol que escribio si tiene verdad pero no la parte que incluye a su familia. Miguel Cervantes tenia otro parentesco con la familia Cervantes pero por una linea de una bisabuela conversa.""""""""""

I was wrong. Miguel Cervantes is related through the Cervantes line but not through the family tree that he wrote. He was mistaken as to how close the relationship was. This was a case of him thinking that he was closer related than he was, or he wanted to cover up just how his Cervantes line branched off. How often have we heard from a parent, uncle or grandparent that fulano is a second cousin when the actual tree shows him to be a little further away like a third cousin once removed. My father in law insisted that he was a second cousin to the famous actor Gregorio Casal, when he was actually a third cousin, but since they grew up together they thought they were more closely related.

Miguel Cervantes's ancestor branch male line married Nuevo conversos. Though Leonel Cervantes's branch also married a nueva conversa, it went back to marrying mainly Christianos viejos. I say mainly because a couple lines clearly married Nuevo conversos. Miguel Cervantes's line branched off earlier so he does not have Avellaneda in his line that I know of. I also haven't found Saavedra in his tree but there is a big hole in the tree regarding his maternal grandfather.

I had originally worked on Miguel Cervantes line a long time ago but had lost most of my work on his tree a few years ago when I had a computer crash and lost my backup in the same week. My wife insisted Yesterday that I stop working on genealogy and clean out a filing cabinet in a closet. I hadn't looked into this cabinet in a long time. I did not normally use this filing cabinet for genealogy. It was mainly used for bills, old mail, documents that should be kept at least a few years like tax returns and receipts. I was in for a big surprise. While cleaning out the filing cabinet I found many pages of genealogical notes that contain some of the information that I had thought that I had lost forever, these notes do not contain all of my lost material but it does contain much information that I had been unable to refind in my subsequent research. These notes also contained valuable information on Blanca Nunez's ancestors from the temino de Velasco line. I will add this information to my book which I hope to publish soon.

Estimado Enrique,

Seguro somos parientes varias veces, posiblemente lo más cercano por los Cervantes. Los tatarabuelos de mi abuelo Martín Méndez de Torres Serrano-Ornelas eran D. José Manuel de Aceves y Da. María de Jesús Leonel Gómez de Cervantes, esta última descendiente de la casa de Cervantes. Conozco muchísimos mexicanos que descienden de los Cervantes; es una familia principal de la nobleza mexicana. Dichos enlazaron con todas las familias que constituyaba el núcleo social durante el virreinato.

Además de los Cervantes mi padre tiene ascendencia de Luis de Pantoja y Mendoza por los Núñez de Sotomayor, ya citados, los Ornelas, de origen portugúes. Mi madre es Camino, también de los Rincón Gallardo, Altamirano de Castilla y los Ruiz de Esparza. Luego sabes por estos medios ya todos están vinculados entre todos los numerosos condados, marquesados, etc.

En fin, pienso que todos estan un vínculados con “la nobleza” tanto la mexicana como la española.

Comentario

Hola Daniel:

Me da gusto que hayas contestado, dado que pensé que no le darían seguimiento al asunto. Ya que me dices que tienes un vínculo con Luis de Pantoja y Mendoza, ¿Conoces la ascendencia de su esposa María de la Peña? Sé que es hija de Baltasar de San Juan de la Peña y de Benita de la Peña, pero más allá de ellos no tengo datos y desconozco si llevaban a su vez algún título.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo, que algunos de nosotros tengamos estas conexiones. Por ejemplo mucha gente con orígenes norteños como yo, somos descendientes de personajes como Alonso de Estrada (hijo natural del rey Fernando II de Aragón), de los Oñate, de Gonzalo de Salazar y de Ruy Díaz de Mendoza y Arellano del Río.

Como tu bien dices, la "nobleza" se encontraba muy emparentada, yo creo que más bien se trata de saber si nuestras ramas se conectan a aquellas, dado que en algunas ocasiones encontré este vínculo mucho después, sin saber que lo había. Era por eso el motivo del foro, poder compartir nuestra información.

Saludos

Hello Daniel,

I too descend from fernando de la mora y hurtado de Mendoza. I have his parents but I am confused by the rest of his ancestry that you have listed. Fernando de la mora Hurtado de Mendoza is my 8th great grandfather many many times over. Then another dozen 9th great grandfather. I actually descend from Fernando's grandson, Francisco Antonio Jose "Josesito" Martin del Campo, many many times over, so does my wife. That is how we are fifth cousins.

Can you please clarify this line that you posted.

Thank you

Hello Rick, Daniel et al

I -like Miguel Hidalgo - am another one of the many descendants of Fernando de la Mora (through his daughter Catalina). I have his parents as Juan Mora Mendoza and Francisca Ochoa Garibay , and the parents of Juan Mora Mendoza as Manuel Mora and Juana Aviña Hurtado de Mendoza, so I don´t find the link with the Núñez Sotomayor, could you please help me with that ?

Greetings

I´m sorry for asking something that I should remember: I just went to check my notes and ..... Voila ! the mother of my ancestor Fernando de la Mora was a Núñez de Sotomayor !!, her name was Francisca de Ochoa Garibay Núñez de Sotomayor y Hurtado de Mendoza, grandaughter of Bernardina Hurtado de Mendoza.

Sorry again and my best regards

Hello Carlos,
In my notes i had her only as Juana Nunez Soto. Can you please provide me with a source so that I can check on this information. I don't like adding information to my tree without having sources that I can check.

Carlos Peredo

Hello Rick,

The following is one of the sources that mentions Don Diego de Ochoa Garibay and his wife Juana Núñez de Sotomayor

El capitán D. Diego de Ochoa Garibay, conquistador de Nueva Galicia y poblador muy antiguo en la Provincia de Michoacán, avecindado en Zamora, y relación genealógica entre éste y el Lic. D. Guillermo Romo Celis: Estudio leído en la Academia Mexicana de Genealogía y Heráldica, en la sesión del 12 de mayo de 1954---by José Ignacio Paulino Dávila Garibi.

Now, I´ve been trying to find the ancestors of the supposed mother of this Juana : Bernardina Hurtado de Mendoza with no succes yet, I´ve seen some genealogies in the web and they simply don´t make much chronological sense but they state that she is a descendant of the "Señores de Mocejón", the Pantojas Portocarreros.

With that "information" I´ve researched about those Pantojas and the most probable parent of Bernardina is Catalina de Pantoja de la Peña daughter of Juan Pantoja Portocarrero and María de la Peña.

This Juan Pantoja was the brother of the tenth Sr de Mocejón : Gonzalo Pantoja Portocarrero; and both sons of Gonzalo Pantoja Monroy Guzmán and Elvira Portocarrero y Guzmán "Sra de Mocejón y Benacazón".

Has anyone found some hard data about this line ?

Regards

Comentario

R.A.Ricci

Hello Carlos

Like you, I checked out some of the genealogies on the internet and found family trees that don't make sense. There are numerous errors that destroy their credibility. What I am most concerned with verifying is Juana Nunez de Sotomayor's parents , grandparents, and specifically Bernardina Hurtado de Mendoza. Luz Montejano, a respected genealogist posted a tree showing her parents and grandparents but I don't see her sources. She has done excellent work so I don't doubt her, but I would like to know the sources. Her information is the same that you provide.

I am completing a book that should be published in a few months that will include this line as it ties in with what I already had been writing about. I had originally been searching through the Ornelas lines that Daniel Mendez provided to find a connection with my work but was unsuccessful. What a coincidence that another post by Daniel Mendez helps make a connection to what I am already writing about. I am concerned that this line will blow up on closer inspection just like the Ornelas line did. That is why I would lke to verify the source before adding it.

Please email me your descendancy from Juana Nunez de Sotomayor if you want it in the book that I am almost finished writing. This book is not specifically about this line but this line has someone who is a half sister to someone that I am writing about so all of their descendents are related.

I am in a hurry to finish this book as I don't like withholding information from other genealogists. The information that I am writing about necessitates long explanations and much evidence so a book is the best way of communicating the results of my investigations.

Thanks,
R A. Ricci

Comentario

Hi R.A. Ricci:

I would like to buy your book in case you include information regarding Bernardina de Mendoza. Please let us know how we can acquire it when it's available. Which other lines are you writing of besides the Ornelas and this one?

I think I'm a descendant of Juana Nuñez de Sotomayor through the Estrada family but I've not been able to connect Nicolás Flores de Estrada husband of María de Solís (greatgrandaughter of Juana Nuñez de Sotomayor) with my ancestor Antonio de Estrada married with Teresa Ramírez aka Pérez, I think Antonio should be a son or grandson of Nicolás Flores de Estrada.
As some aditional information, Antonio's son godparents (Dionisio Teodoro, bap. 1717 in Ocotlán) were Nicolás de Estrada y de la Mora and María de Retamosa so I think this couple should be somehow related with my ancestors, maybe Nicolás and Antonio being first cousins.
Hope you have some facts on that line.

Regards,
Enrique Agraz

Comentario

Dear Enrique,

I was mistaken when I sided with the genealogists that claim that Allonso Estrada was not the son of King Ferdinand. I had believed the false documents and testimony that had presented a false family tree.

I have an original pristine copy of "verdadera Paternidad De Alonso de Estrada." By Norberto de Castro y Tosi published in Madrid 1948. I had originally been convinced by his argument regarding Alonso Estrada's paternity. Over the years I have seen more and more information that shows his facts and conclusions to be in error. I have collected much information on the family. The evidence is that he is an illegitimate son of the King.

What I am writing is going to lower the value of Norberto de Castro y Tosi's booklet that I have in my possession, I should have sold it before I revealed that he is wrong.

Do you have some information about the first of the Hurtado de Mendoza´s family who cames to México arround 1600-1500?

Thanks for you help

Comentario

Hello Carlos Peredo,

It seems as the ancestry is through Francisca Ochoa Garibay's ancestry. It seems as Juana Nunez Soto is Juana Nunez de Sotomayor. I am only myself learning of this connection today. I do not have the sources and was hoping that Daniel would provide the connection for us.

As to the remark about Cervantes being a Cervantes Saavedra we know that he provided a false family tree to show he was related to the Cervantes family that moved to what is now Mexico. His false tree showed proof of what I had claimed that the two Mexican branches were related but he falsely added his line to disguise his real ancestors, and to maybe help distract from the indiscretions of his immediate family. It turns out that he was related to the Mexican Cervantes family but through a great great grandfather that was a rich converso, one of the richest, if not the richest converso of his time. This great grandfather believed in using his wealth to marry his children to marry into Noble old Christian families.

Gonzalo Pantoja Portocaerrero si desciende de un Rey. Gonzalo Pantoja Portocaerrero desciende de Alfonso IX de Leon.

The Pantoja family had many connections to the Toledo family so many genealogies show a toledo descendancy. We have disproved one one these toledo descendancy here in nuestrosranchos by proving that Bernardina de Mendoza did not descend from Luis Pantoja mendoza and Ines Alvarez de Toledo. The second descendancy from the Toledo family, is going to be difficult to root out since so many written Pantoja genealogies claim to descend from toledo through a certain wife wife wife when they descend from the an last wife,
Bernardina Mendoza.and Ana Ulloa descend from Gonzalo Pantoja jr and Juana Merlo Ulloa, daughter of Juan Merlo and Guiomar Ulloa.

Gonzalo Pantoja Jr's father in law has another wife that is of the Alvarez Toledo family and most genealogies that you see written and posted on the internet mistakenly have the Toledo wife as an ancestor instead of Guiomar Ulloa. At the present time, and the last few centuries, when most of these genealogies have been written, the Alvarez de Toledo is the more well known noble family. It doesn't take much research to get information on this family. The Ulloa and Merlo families are not as familiar to us, and much deeper research is needed to find out about them. This research into the Merlo and Ulloa families leads to interesting histories of these families. These histories include Guiiomar's father, a doctor who is an oidor in Castilla that is held in high regard similar to " el Doctor Orosco " the Oidor in New Spain who also left many ancestors throughout Nueva Galicia. Guiiomar's sister is married to a family that also has many connections to the Alvarez de Toledo family.
The Ulloa and Merlo families are also nobility with a rich history of serving Castilian, Portuguese, And Leonese royalty. Gonzalo Pantoja jr. ( Gonzalo Pantoja Portocaerrero) descends from King Alfonso IX of Leon.

PS I figured out why so many genealogists and historians do not have Guiomar Ulloa as the mother even though she is the biological mother of both Juana and Diego Merlo Ulloa. The long battle over some property long after their father is improperly quoted in many family trees. Other records clearly identify Guiomar as their biological mother. Diego was very famous in his time and when they spoke of him they named as the son of Guiomar who had special standing with the Queen.

Hello Carlos,

I am curious to know the name of your father. Why you may ask, because I remember that you wanted to find a document connecting your grandfather to your father and there are a couple of variables that should be looked into. Both your grandfather and grandmother were married previously, and your grandmother’s first husband was also surnamed Hernández.
The other issue of finding your ancestor J. Guadalupe Hernandez’s baptismal record Is the possibility that J Guadalupe is the same person as Jose de Los Angeles Hernández. Why ? Because on another occasion I found someone that some tines used Jose Guadalupe and on other times used Jose Guadalupe de Los Angeles, and was also known as Jose de Los Angeles. I did find a baptismal record for a Jose de Los Angeles Hernández, son of J. Guadalupe’s parents.

You have another ancestor that used two names, “Jose de Los Santos” and “Jose De Dios”.

Have you researched your Romo ancestry? This is your closest relationship to me. Our Romo ancestries make us fifth cousins. You have another ancestral line that makes you a fifth cousin to my wife.

Hope you are well,

So, I presented my research to my son-in-law; it was the wrong Longoria family. There were two Longoria families, bother from Sombrerete, Zacatecas who immigrated to the US and settled in Anthony, NM/TX. My son-in-law is the son of Jose Longoria who is the son of Alberto Longoria who married Maria Eldia Rubalcava. Alberto is the son of Jose Ines Longoria, son of Sixto Longoria. I could find no intersection between the two Longoria families, but there must be one before 1800.

I found their marriage certificate; Rosalio Minchaca Zamora (my grandfather) and Cenobia Longoria Castañon got married on September 11th 1900 in Sombrerete Zacatecas. The first name appears as Cenobia and not Angeles, I also found some of their children’s birth certificates and they all show that their mother’s first name was Cenobia. (In some matches from MyHeritage she appears as Senobia).

They were:
Edmundo Minchaca Longoria, born in 1902
Roberto Minchaca Longoria, born on September 20th, 1903
Eduardo Minchaca Longoria, born on September 8th, 1905
Maria Ernestina Minchaca Longoria, born on January 11th, 1908

My grandmother was known as Senobia Longoria but as far as I know her real first name was Angeles, I undestood that her parents were Faustino Longoria Trejo and Dominga Castañon, but she died in 1978 at the age of 97 which brings her to be born in 1881. I also understand that Faustino was born in 1884, therefore it cannot be his father.
I know that she had a brother named Salvador Longoria, married to Guadalupe Dominguez.
Does anyone know something about this?
Jorge
(I'm new in this forum and looking for my Zacatecas ancestors Minchaca & Longoria)

Comentario

Jorge,

The Faustino Longoria Trejo that is Married to Dominga Castañon was not born in 1881. His children were born around that date.

Salvador Longoria Castañon was born 13/July/1890 at Sombrerete, Zacatecas. He crossed the USA/Mexico border into the USA on 27/Sep1946 at El Paso, Texas

Here is a link to his application for a border crossing ID card: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9B2-SQL4-2?cc=3155856…

It seems that Salvador Longoria Castañon lived for many years in Chihuahua and that he had a prior marriage before Guadalupe Dominguez. He was deported at one time prior to this application and in that record he has a different wife.

Salvador had an older brother Luis that he lived with for a time in Yuma, Arizona. He can be found there in the 1920 census.

In this record there is a picture of him and it names his wife as Juliana Ramirez and it says he has two children:

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

Benigno, Luis, and Salvador also had a sister named Maria Concepcion Longoria Castañeda. She was baptized 14/Jan/1893.
Here is a copy of her baptism:

Thanks Rick,
That means that my grandmother Senobia/Cenobita (Angeles) was another sister of Salvador, Luis, Maria Concepcion, Geronimo and Benigno.
I also know that Salvador married Guadalupe Dominguez and had 12 children, one of them is Mabel Longoria Dominguez who lived in Durango with my grand parents then migrated to El Paso and lives now in San Antonio.

Jorge,
Geronimo isn’t their brother, he is their grandfather as he is the father of Faustino Longoria.

Tell me more about your grandmother, who she married, where she lived, and any clues that I can use to try to track her down.

1)- Geronimo Longoria married Francisca Trejo and they are the parents of Faustino
2)- Faustino Longoria married Dominga Castañon and they are the parents of
3). Luis, Benigno, Salvador, Maria Concepcion, and Senobia. They may have more siblings as those are only the ones that we have identified up to now.

Hello Carlos,

Your post is 2 and a half years old and I don’t know how far you have gone in your research. You are a distant cousin of mine. You repeatedly descend from the Hernández Gamino family. Here is some information on your family:

Carlos,

Since you're just getting started, try the following steps. Locate the civil birth and civil marriage records of your grandparents and great grandparents in the civil records for Arandas using ancestry.com, where they're searchable. Those records include San Ignacio Cerro Gordo and they may provide you with the names of your 2x great grandparents. At that point you can then begin to trace your lines further back by using the parish records for Arandas and Ayotlán (formerly Ayo el Chico).

Good luck.

Comentario

I have read through searching on here that all or most of the Hernandez the Los Altos sur region stem from the Hernández Gamiño line. (Here:http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/22428)

Can anyone here help me confirm or deny this, please? My great-grandfather is Sabino Hernandez-Gonzales born in Hacienda Guadalupe probably in the early 1900's. I don't know anything beyond him.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Comentario

Hello Carlos,

You don’t provide much information to guide a search into your ancestors. Not all the Hernandez in Los Altos sur region descend from the Hernandez Gamino. The H and the F were interchangeable a couple of centuries ago so some of my Hernandez ancestors were more often known as Fernandez De Rueda which are not from the Hernandez Gamino family.

I would recommend that you gather as much information and records on your grandparents and great uncles and aunts as you can, and use this information to guide your next steps. It is important that you start with your own parents and their siblings records to see if they provide more information on your grandparents.

Good luck,
R.A.Ricci

Comentario

Thank you for the response. For the time being I am trying to follow my Hernandez lineage as far as I can.

I will try to get some answers out of my remaining grandfather. I'll see if he remembers his grandparent's names, or anything else helpful.

For the time being, I know my great grandfather was Sabino Hernandez-Gonzales(z), born in Hacienda de Guadalupe (Municipality of Arandas) whom passed away around 86 years of age. He was married to Guadalupe Hernandez, born in Arandas whom passed away around 80 years of age. All according to my grandfather.

I was able to find a couple results on Ancestry.com for Sabino Hernandez-Gonzales(z), but cannot find a connection to my grandfather (his son).

Comentario

Your grandfather.’s parents and grandparents are most likely listed in his baptismal or birth records. Sometimes these records even have great-grandparents. If your grandfather was related to his wife then there may be more information in a marriage dispensation. Ask your grandfather for the names and dates of his siblings. If you can’t find your grandfather’s records then you should look for his sibling’s records.

You can also check out those death records as they often have additional information. You don’t provide any dates so it would be difficult for others to help you without additional information that will help identify your ancestors.

Comentario

I don't know about Arandas, but in the Colotlan area where my family is from they list grandparents on the Civil Registration marriage records from about 1860-1920. I would try and locate your great grandparents' marriage record. Usually, grandparents are also on the baptisms starting about 1800 and on the birth records.

Dear Enrique,

I have found the parents of Francisco Caro Galindo and I have solved the reason his daughter Magdalena used the last name "de la Cueva."

His parents are disclosed in Franciso's will, dated 5 Apr 1641 in Guadalajara Nueva Galicia. A fragment of it is quoted in Alonso Davalos Bracamonte's Application to be a Knight of Santiago. Their names are Hernan Caro Galindo and Mariana de la Cueva. I therefore now suspect that Mariana was related to the de la Cueva family in from Ubeda and Southern Spain. I quote the will as rendered in the Application:

"'En el nombre de Dios todoPoderoso amen sepan q.tos esta Carte de Testam.to vieren como Yo Fran.co Caro Galindo Vez.o de esta Ziud. de Guadalajara, Nuevo Rey.o de Galicia, y natural de la Villa de Carmona q oi es Ziu.d en Adalucia hijo lej{itimo de henan Caro Galindo, y de Da.

I think this may give us further areas to research.

Greetings!

Enrique,

I found another generation back of the Caro Galindo line. I found the will of Fernan/Hernan Caro Galindo, father of Francisco Caro Galindo. It was also in the file for Alonso Davalos Bracamonte when he applied to become a Knight of Santiago. It is an important document because it gives the parents of Hernan, and therefore the grandparents of Francisco Caro Galindo. They are Francisco Caro Galindo and Leonor de Sanctaella. Her name may be archaeic, and actually now be spelled Santaella. Bu the will also lists their children, which in typical 16th century fashion do not all bear the name of the father, but had a last name chosen for them.

http://pares.mcu.es/ParesBusquedas20/catalogo/show/1341108?nm
Image 289

ante Juan de Medina 20 May 1576 en Carmona:
" 'en el nombre de Dios amen. Sepan q.tos esta carta de testam.to e ultima voluntad vieren Como yo Fernan Caro Galindo hijo de fran.co caro Galindo y de Leonor de Sanctaella su lexitima muger mis padres e señores defuntos que Dios tiene vezino q. soi en esta mui noble e leal villa de Carmona en la Colacion del s.or Santiago= y a la quarta foxa Ba en la clausula de herederos dice así = e cumplido e pagado este dicho my testtam.to en lo fincable e rremanente que de los dhos mis vienes quedarse dejo e nombre por mis lexitimis e universales herederos a luis caro, a Juan de la Cueva, a leonor Caro, a Juan Caro, a franco Caro mis fixos e fixas lexitimos e fixos e fixas lexitimas de la dicha Marina de la Cueva mi muger a queales instituyo e dejo por mis lexitimos e universales herederos'"

In the pages immediately before this (page 283-285) a relative (quarto grado) of the family living in Carmona, who styled himself "principal de la familia" by the name of Jeronimo Caro Galindo, aged 70 in 1699, afirms that the Caro Galindo owned a chapel in the church of San Blad. He also says that Francisco "tiendo otros hermanos y siendo entre ellos el de menor edad se paso el Nuevo Rey.o de Mejico en donde se caso con Isabel de Catro y Mesa" and also goes on to say that he was "poseedor de la Capilla que esta en la Parroquial de San Blas con armas y entierros y que en la misma forma la tiene la familia de la Cueva en la Parroquial de Santiago." it looks like the church of San Bals in Carmona still stands:
https://sevillapedia.wikanda.es/wiki/Iglesia_de_San_Blas_(Carmona)

As far as the family shield the witnesses say it was situated "al lado del evangelio un escudo de arma dividido en quatro quarterones el primero en campo de plata con una cruz orleada con ocho calderos. Y en el segundo con ojas de higuera en campo de oro y en los dos siguientes un brazo con una espada y tres bandas en Campo negro."

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for sharing this with the group. This is a big find! I descend from Dávalos Bracamonte twice, namely the first Count of Miravalle and his brother Diego Dávalos Bracamonte. Their great grandchildren Cor. Antonio Dávalos Bracamonte, Señor de las villas de Melezna, Cadasresnas, Ornija y Viariz would marry his second cousin Josefa Marín del Valle y Dávalos Bracamonte.

A few questions: why would there be two children with identical first names, but distinct surnames. Juan de la Cueva and Juan Caro Galindo. This proves that the de la Cueva surname carried some type of importance in this family, for a male who is Caro Galindo to prefer his maternal name. Was he a namesake? I too suspect, it is the same de la Cueva family in Andalucía. These branches seem to have intermarried in Nueva Galicia.

A descendant of Francisco Caro Galindo and Isabel de Castro y Mesa, was Nicolasa de Camberos y Tolosa who married Agustín de la Cueva ca. 1680 and suspect these two are related through said family line. I have not located the dispensa yet, but would be interesting to see if they connect in Spain or in Mexico.

Three other individuals that unavoidably come to find: How do all these lines connect in Ubeda?

My 8th great grandfather Pedro de la Cueva y Carvajal, owner of the vast Los Acahuales latifundio, who was the son of Lic. Pedro de la Cueva y Mendoza, Secretario de Gobierno and Leonor de Carvajal y Ojeda. According to his grandson el Lic. Diego de la Mota y Carvajal, Cura Beneficiado de Ixtlán (Michoacán) aspiración a órdenes it mentions the de la Cueva are from Ubeda en los Reinos de Castilla, familia principal y noble de aquella ciudad, hijosdalgo, limpios de sangre, cristianos viejos, etc.

The conquistadores and brothers: Capt. Juan de la Cueva who married Catalina de la Torre y Colio in Guadalajara and the other Francisco de la Cueva.

In regards to Jerónimo Caro Galindo, the third cousin, the word "principal" can easily be synonymous to Mayorazgo or head of the house who holds the primogeniture. It would be worthwhile to research the Carmona records to see if we can locate anything in regards to this vínculo, if it exists. If so, we should be able to trace this mayorazgo, again, if it existed.

Best regards,

Daniel Méndez de Torres y Camino

Manny,

this is great information. i descend from Gines de Carrion y Mata. does it give anymore of his ancestry. or how he descends from Pedro de Mata? is it through his paternal or maternal side.

Also is this Juana Martel, the wife of the Portuguese, Miguel de Sierra, that abandoned his wife Juana to live with his previous wife who he had told everyone was dead?

Francisca Temino is also an ancestor of mine. Both of them, there's one married to Gines de Carrion y Mata and one married to Juan Ramírez de la Campaña, they may actually be the same person but i have them born about 15 years apart. although both are listed as relatives of Angela Velasco.

Comentario

Hi Danny,

I’m sorry, those are the only clues Gines de Carrion gives, in regards to his pedigree, and I don’t know who his nor his wife’s parents are. Nor do I know who Juana Martel aka Maria Martel is, other than the woman identified in this letter. Nor do I know who Miguel de Sierra is, I haven’t seen that name in early Pinos. Was he married to a Juana Martel? That would be cool if he was.

I like how Carrion even points out that Domingo Diaz was padrino for one of his own children, and how you can check the baptism book, to see! It’s right there, 6 Oct 1620! The child’s name was even Domingo! The audacity!

My new favorite expression: “poner una mascara a los ojos de las gentes”: pulling the wool over people’s eyes!

Thanks for your in-depth research, it is very interesting and disturbing especially when its your relatives. I went searching for Pedro de Mata and only came up with the following which is a very dark history of the Inquisition.

The following was a sentence, I thought was connected to the archived article, but I did not find this at all though Cardona's name was mentioned in the Italian section.

"...to Don Pero Mata requests him to let Cardona continue in occupation of ..."

https://archive.org/details/theinquisition00leauoft

On page 33, First paragraph, 3 sentence is an interesting read. as p118 (bigamy, Solicitation), p184 - solicitation (1561), p244, p250 from 1625-1640.

"Everyone has a good ancestor, if you can go back far enough" This was a quote I read a very long time ago."

Comentario

Manny,

yeah Juana Martel married the Portuguese, Miguel de Sierra on October 24, 1613 in Aguascalientes. she was the daughter of Hernando Gallegos/Martel and Maria de Frias. Miguel de Sierra married her claiming to be a widower, but eventually left Juana Martel and returned back to Portugal to be with his original wife that wasn't actually dead.

Comentario

Hola Danny:

La familia Ramírez se ha caracterizado porque los hombres son polígamos y cambian sus nombres al momento de registrar a los hijos. No es caso aislado, me tocó que algunos tíos todavía lo hacían y decían necesitar varias familias para que les ayudaran a trabajar diferentes negocios. Ese Juan Ramírez "de la Campaña" puede ser el nombre real ya que todos los hijos de los Ramírez de Coy se llaman Juan y la hija mayor Juana.

Otra costumbre de los Ramírez de Coy es casarse entre primos hermanos, todavía me tocó conocer esos casos, era para concentrar las propiedades que en éste caso no eran haciendas ganaderas como en otras familias sino redes de comercio y minas de plata, la última se vendió en el año 2003.

Las personas de ésta historia parecen estar relacionadas "con las minas de Comanja" si esas minas eran de plata puede ser otro punto de coincidencia. Ésta poligamia, éste cambio de nombres no fueron casos aislados sino una forma de vida.

Hi Manny,

I found a document regarding a Pedro de Mata. I'm not sure if it's the same as the (Alcaide que fue del Castillo de Triana), great grandfather of Gines de Carrion that's married to Francisca de Temino. The Pedro de Mata I came across mentions him as a marinero, capitan and maestre. Even if he's not the same, he clearly must be related. This Pedro de Mata is listed as dying in 1562 in Cartagena and as the son of Gines de Carrion and Leonor de Mata:

Hi Danny,

I found Capitan Pedro de Mata’s testamento at PARES/AGIS, dated 1562. As you mentioned, he died while captaining his ship in Cartagena, Columbia, and he was the son of Gines de Carrion and Leonor de Mata, residents of Barrio de Triana in Sevilla. This Gines de Carrion is probably the same who was a ship’s captain who sailed to Indies in the 1520s, and who later owned various ships that made transatlantic trips, in particular, carrying gold from Peru back to Spain. I think it’s possible that Leonor de Mata was the daughter of Alcaide Pedro de Mata, which would explain why her son was named Pedro de Mata. If I’m right, then Gines de Carrion and Leonor de Mata could be the grandparents of Gines de Carrion, who settled in San Luis Potosi and later in Sierra de Pinos; Capitan Pedro de Mata would’ve been his uncle.
If so, then the younger Gines de Carrion would’ve been the black sheep of the family, seeing how they had such a nautical background, yet he chose to live so far away from the ocean!

Great find! Hope you’re well, Danny!

Manny,

I found a few mentions of Gines de Carrion. There's a mention in 1546 of a Gines de Carrion purchasing a vihuela at an auction who they say is most likely el Mozo who they describe as the nephew of Gines de Carrion el Viejo. Both are described in the few available sources as comitres and capitanes. I found it interesting that Gines de Carrion, el Mozo, was the nephew and not the son. I also found this mention of Gines de Carrion, el Viejo: Ginés de Carrión, cómitre, marido primero de Leonor López, hija de Juan García y de Juana López, que le llevó de dote 45.000 mrs., dada por la abuela, Leonor López, viuda de Alonso López ( A . P . S . , III 1517 [ = 1517 ], al 23 de enero ), y después de Leonor de Mata, que le aportó una dote de 600.000 mrs. ( Triana ). Hizo testamento el 1 de julio de 1531...

I have found that the Gines Carrion (born in 1561) who married Francisca de Tremiño was the son of another Gines Carrion born in 1520 who married Leonor de Mata (born in 1519).
Leonor was the daughter of Pedro de Mata who lived in Triana besides the Castillo de San Jorge and died in 1562. I don’t know if this is the one who was Alguacil Mayor de la Santa Inquisicion but he is not the great-grandfather of Gines Carrion Mata but just his grandfather and Mata is simply his Mother’s family name.

Comentario

Jorge,

Thank you very much. The time lines you give can be reconciled with what I’ve found in San Luis Potosi and Sierra de Pinos. And it’s always possible that Pedro de Mata - maternal grandfather of Gines de Carrion - was the son of Alcaide Pedro de Mata, mentioned by Gines de Carrion in his letter. What are your sources?

Danny,

According to the baptism record, dated 15 Dec 1615 in Pinos, of Diego, hijo de Gines de Carrion y de doña Francisca de Temiño, his padrinos were Rodrigo Heredia and doña Angela de Velasco, “tía del dicho Diego.” On 20 Nov 1616, in Aguascalientes, baptized was Rodrigo, hijo de Juana Medina; his padrinos were “doña Angela de Velasco y su primo, Rodrigo de Heredia.”

From the time line and the locations, doña Angela de Velasco is likely the same who was daughter of Juan Ramirez de la Campaña and doña Francisca Temiño de Velasco, and who was married to Geronimo de Orozco. If so, that she was the “aunt” of Diego Carrion, would imply that she was the sister of the child’s mother, doña Francisca de Temiño, who would therefore be the daughter of Juan Ramirez de la Campaña and the elder doña Francisca Temiño de Velasco. Again, the time lines and locations work. But then, the word “tía” was also used for elderly cousins!

Thanks, and I hope you are all well!

Manny,
My sources are the available data from different Internet sites and then I try to match the most logical information.
I start with my account in MyHeritage with Record Matches and Smart Matches, doing Search for the person then I go to FamilySearch for eventual civil registrations. Then I go to other genealogical sites like WikiTree, Geneanet or simply by Wikipedia. If the names and time lines are the same I assume that is the information is right.
Sometimes I use an old set of books called “Mexico a través de los siglos”.
Of course I consult also the Recent Posts of “Nuestros Ranchos”. Rick brings a lot of information and corrections.
I’m particularly interested in my ancestors from Aguascalientes and Zacatecas.
Good search for 2021.

In my tree I have Pedro de Vargas Castañeda (b. 1660) m. Francisca Lopez Mercado He lived in Teul and while I haven't yet found proof, I'm fairly sure he's connected to Nicolas and Ana because of the compound surname.

Pedro has a brother Joseph de Vargas Castaneda m. Francisca Vela Castro. Their daughter Micaela - who married the brother of Francisca Lopez Mercado - was identified as "Micaela de Vargas Castaneda Machuca" on the baptism record of her daughter.

Carolyn,

The marriage information ("Informacion Matrimonial") for Juan de Castañeda and Juana de Carbajal was registered in Aguascalientes on 12 March 1707, and the license to marry was granted two weeks later on March 28th also in Aguascalientes. The link to see this document is

Juan de Castañeda and Juana de Carbajal were married on 5 April 1707 at the church of San Matias in Sierra de Pinos, Zac. (within the jurisdiction of Aguascalientes). Notice that the parents of Juan de Castañeda are identified as Antonio de Castañeda and Thomasa de Carrion, and those of Juana de Carbajal as Juan de Carbajal (difunto) and Catharina de Sanabia. This last surname seems to be misspelled and could be either Sanabria or Sarabia. Notice that Juan de Castañeda is said to be "Natural y Vecino del Puesto nombrado La Noria" (in Sierra de Pinos) and Juana de Carbajal "Natural y Vecina de Guadalajara". Juana de Carbajal was living at the Real de Sierra de Pinos when the marriage license was granted. Just another piece of the puzzle.

I am researching my 8th GG-father Juan Castaneda born 10/12/1686 in Pinos, Zac. He married Juana Carabajal on 4/5/1707 at Pinos.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5F8-WNC

I am stuck on his parents Antonio Castaneda and Thomasa de Carrion.

I have Juana born 7/30/1690 at Guadalajara and parents as Juan Carabajal and Catharina Sanama or Sanabria.

Any help would be appreciated.

Bill and Carolyn,
On familysearch, one of the submited genealogies, someone referred Antonio de Castañeda as Antonio de Castañeda y Vargas, this might be a possible reference in a baptismal record for one of their children. We should research this, if this be the case I have already found a possible link as to parents for Antonio: Nicolás de Castañeda who married Antonia de Vargas Machuca who also had Apolonia de Castañeda. This last daughter married Capt. Sebastián Flores de Robles ca. 1693.
It will be interesting to further research the Castañeda and Carrión families, there are many missing links in the genealogy.
I hope this helps somehow.

Carolyn and Daniel,

This past week I did extensive research on the Castañeda family trying to find the parents of Antonio de Castañeda, but was unable to pinpoint them. One of the first records I checked was the marriage of Miguel de Castañeda to María López, which is also one of the oldest records of a Castañeda living in Sierra de Pinos (within the jurisdiction of Aguascalientes at that time). Their marriage record reads as follows:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11824-52070-13?cc=1502404&…

Al margen: "Miguel de Castañeda y María López, españoles"

"En primero de febrero de dicho año (1653), se casó y veló según el orden
de la Santa Madre Iglesia habiendo antecedido todas las diligencias que manda
el concilio, Maria López, viuda de Joan Valadés, vecino que fue de esta
jurisdición, con Miguel de Castañeda, hijo legítimo de P.... de Castañe-
da, y de Jasinta de Sotomayor, vecinos de la jurisdición de Sierra de Pinos,
fue su padrino el Capitán Juan de Quenca y Escalante. Y lo firmé
Pedro Rincon de Ortega"

Miguel de Castañeda and María López had a son named Diego who wed María Ruiz de Esparza 11 Aug 1681 in Aguascalientes; when María died Diego married Mariana de Mendoza y Villalobos circa 31 Dec 1701, also in Aguascalientes.

Other records from the same period clearly indicate that the parents of Miguel de Castañeda were Pedro de Castañeda and Jacinta de Sotomayor. The testament of Josepha de Castañeda, for example, filed in Aguascalientes in 1710 reads "...Sepan quantos este testamento y ultima voluntad vieren como yo Josepha de Castañeda vesina de esta Villa de Nra. Señora de la Asunpcion de Aguas Calientes e hija lexitima de Pedro de Castañeda y de Jasinta de Sotomaior dho. mi padre natural de la ciudad de Mexico y mi madre del pueblo de Thequaltichi (Teocaltiche) e como estoy sana y buena y deseando salvar mi alma temiendo de la muerte para quando Dios sea servido de que llegue por ser cosa natural a toda criatura....etc. etc." . Four years later in 1714, she followed up with her final will and testament which confirms the preceeding one. It reads "....Sea notorio a los que la presente carta vieren de mi testamento y ultima voluntad como yo, Josepha de Castañeda vesina de esta Villa hija lexitima de Pedro de Castañeda y Jasinta de Sotomaior vecinos y naturales del real y minas de S. Mathias de Sierra de Pinos de donde yo lo soy...etc. etc."

Based on these and other documents I have identified the following children of Pedro de Castañeda and Jacinta de Sotomayor: 1) Miguel, 2) Jacinta, 3) Nicolasa, 4) Josepha, 5) Theresa and 6) Gabriel. Unfortunately, I was unable to identify the parents of Antonio de Castañeda, although I believe he was closely related.

Apolonia de Castañeda, who married 1) Alonso de Guzman y Prado and 2) Sebastián Flores de Robles, was a daughter of Nicolás de Castañeda and Anna de Vargas (Machuca). I believe Nicolás was Pedro's brother, but have not found the proper documentation. Notwithstanding, Josepha de Castañeda instructed the executors of her will to use some of the proceedings from the sale of her property to establish a Capellanía to assist HER NEPHEW Francisco Lino de Guzman to be ordained priest of the Catholic Church. Francisco Lino de Guzmán was the son of Alonso de Guzmán and Apolonia de Castañeda.

I am still trying to fill-in some of the gaps in the Castañeda Sotomayor family tree. However, I do believe that Antonio de Castañeda was related to Apolonia de Castañeda and thus to Anna de Vargas Machuca (it is Anna, Daniel, not Antonia). We need to find out how. Antonio fits the timeline and could be a brother of Apolonia de Castañeda.

I believe Pedro de Castañeda, who was born in México City, was the first Castañeda to arrive in Sierra de Pinos and Aguascalientes, probably after marrying Jacinta de Sotomayor in Teocaltiche.

Carolyn, could you let me know which eight children you found for Antonio de Castañeda and Thomasa Carrión, and their baptismal dates? I have Juan, María, María Nicolasa, Francisca and Polonia.

Carolyn and Daniel,

When checking the marriage record of Andrés Martínez de Sotomayor with Ana de Castañeda, I discovered an interesting fact that seems to confirm my suspicions that Antonio de Castañeda was the son of Nicolás de Castañeda and Anna de Vargas Machuca, and therefore brother of Apolonia de Castañeda. The link is as follows:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15246-27952-17?cc=1804458&wc…

Notice that Ana de Castañeda, daughter of Antonio de Castañeda and Thomasa de Carrión, is identified as Ana de Castañeda y Vargas. That pretty much tells me that she was named after her maternal grandmother Anna de Vargas Machuca, and that she sometimes used the surname Vargas. Here is a complete transcription of this record:

Al margen: "Noria / Andres Martinez con Ana de Castañeda"

"En el Real y Minas de San Mathias Sierra

There are probably other church records from San Matías de Sierra de Pinos that we can check. Let me know what you think.

Thank you, Carolyn. I'm pretty sure we're on the right track. Another piece of the puzzle is in the baptismal record of María Nicolasa de Castañeda, which identifies her padrinos as Alonzo Guzmán and Polonia de Castañeda. I believe this is the same María who married Martín Ruiz de Esparza in 1704, right? Here is the link to that marriage:

Jaime,

You're not going to believe this! The link to Gabriel de Castañeda's Información Matrimonial that you sent me last Friday solves another mystery that had me wondering for several days. It turns out that Gabriel's marriage record in Aguascalientes is none other than the one erroneously attributed to Miguel de Castañeda. There is no Miguel de Castañeda. Gabriel and Miguel sound similar, so the good padre (or his scribe) wrote the wrong name in the record book. Here is an excerpt of the marriage information provided by Gabriel de Castañeda in Sierra de Pinos:

"En 29 dias de henero de 1653 años"

"Grabiel de Castañeda, vesino y natural del Real y Minas de Sierra de Pinos,
hijo legitimo de Pedro de Castañeda, ya difunto, y de Jasinta de Sotomayor,
paresco ante Vuestra Merced en la mejor bia y forma que aya lugar y digo que
yo tengo tratado contraer matrimonio por letras de presente en
la Villa de Aguas Calientes con Maria Rebollo, biuda mujer que fue
de Juan Balades, natural de la Jurisdicion de tequaltiche, hija de Do-
mingo de Rebollo y de Maria Lopez su mujer, y para poderlo aser ne-
cesito dar ynformasion de libre, soltero y sin impedimento."

"Por todo lo qual a Vuestra Merced pido y suplico se me resiba dicha in-
formacion que ofresco, y dada mande sea amonestado en tres dias festi-
bos y no resultando ympedimento alguno se me de lisensia en forma para
que el matrimonio se selebre en dicha Villa de Aguascalientes que siendo-
lo asi cumplira Vuestra Merced con su obligacion y a mi me ara bien y merced,
con justicia que pido y en lo necesario esta"

[f] "Graviel de Castañeda"

AUTO

Abiendo bisto esta peticion presentada por Graviel
de Castañeda ante el Sr. Bachiller Juan de Quixas Escalante dijo
que mandava y mando se le resibiera la ynformacion que ofrese,
q' dada probera lo que conbenga, asi lo probeyó y mandó y firmó

[f] Br. Juan de Quixas y Escalante Ante mi
[f] Juan Diaz Otero? (firma ilegible)
Notario ?

Following the testimony of three witnesses Joseph de Quixas Escalante, Juan Diaz de León (el mozo) and Xinés de Carrión, the priest granted him the license to marry María Rebollo López in Aguascalientes. Three days later Gabriel and María were married at Parroquia de la Asunción de Aguascalientes. Notice that Maria, a native of Teocaltiche, was a resident of Aguascalientes. She was the widow of Juan Macías Valadez, buried in Aguascalientes 18 Dec 1652. A revised transcription of Gabriel and María's wedding follows:

Al margen: "Miguel (should read Gabriel) de Castañeda y María López, españoles".

"En primero de febrero de dicho año (1653), se casó y veló según el orden
de la Santa Madre Iglesia habiendo antecedido todas las diligencias que manda
el concilio, Maria López, viuda de Joan Valadés, vecino que fue de esta
jurisdición, con Miguel (should read Gabriel) de Castañeda), hijo legítimo de P.... de Castañe-
da, y de Jasinta de Sotomayor, vecinos de la jurisdición de Sierra de Pinos,
fue su padrino el Capitán Juan de Quixas y Escalante. Y lo firmé
Pedro Rincon de Ortega"

This is just another example of the type of errors sometimes found in church records. However, in all fairness to the Church, it doesn't happen often. I had suspected this because of the previous marriage of María Rebollo López to Juan Macías Valadez, but fortunately the mystery has been solved. The children of Pedro de Castañeda and Jacinta de Sotomayor are Jacinta, Nicolasa, Josepha, Teresa, Gabriel and Nicolás. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bill, Jaime, Carolyn, Daniel, and everybody researching this family,

I have been reading all these posting and I am excited to be able to add some information.

If I understood correctly, Antonio de Castañeda y Vargas is in fact the son of Nicolás de Castañeda y Ana de Vargas Muriano, correct? Based on my research, I had not been able to find his parents, but I had been able to find the following information on his siblings:

1.Antonio de Castaneda Y Vargas m. Thomasa Carrion
-Gregorio Joseph Castaneda Carrion
-Juan Castaneda Carrion m. Juana Carbajal Sanabia (Sarabia) b. Jul 1690 In Gdl. Jal. (I have found 11 children from this marriage)
-Maria Nicolassa Castaneda Carrion m. Martin Ruiz de Esparza Sotelo (I have found 9 children from this marriage)
-Nicolas Castaneda Carrion m. Maria Gomez Ruiz de Villasenor
-Francisca Castaneda Carrion m. Joseph Diaz Perea (I have found 6 children)
-Ana Castaneda Carrion m. Andres Martinez de Sotomayor Guerra
-Geronima Castaneda Carrion
-Polonia Castaneda Carrion
-Juan Antonio Castaneda Carrion

2.Petrona de Castaneda m. Matheo Aguado (I assume she is Antonio's sister, since Antonio & Thomasa are her daughter's godparents)

3.Miguel de Castaneda (based on your contributions, it seems that his name is Gabriel instead, correct?) There is a Miguel Castaneda who appears on Antonio's son's -Juan Castaneda Carrion- baptismal record.

4.Polonia de Castaneda m. Alonso de Guzman (she would be Apolonia de Castaneda)

Therefore, everything seems to indicate that Antonio (husband of Thomasa Carrion) is in fact Apolonia's brother, both children of Nicolas de Castaneda y Ana de Vargas, correct? Do you think Petrona de Castaneda is also their sister? I have been researching Antonio's descendants, in case somebody is also working on this line we could share information.

Thank you for all the information you have shared!

Bill,
I thought it was a estrange coincidence that two brothers married, within a short time frame, two ladies named Maria (Lopez and Rebollo Lopez) who were widows of two husbands named Juan Valades. Yet, I did not pursue it any further. Once again you share with the group a fantastic piece of genealogical research that demonstrates there was no Miguel but only Gabriel Castañeda.
Regarding the surname Moriano, although rare, it can be found in Spain, and in some latin american countries, particularly in Argentina. There is a town in northern Italy that goes by that name, and the presence among Argentineans could be associated to a toponym used among Italian inmigrants. However, in our case, there is another toponym that yields a more plausible origin. If we focus on the alternative spelling recorded in Apolonia's testament (Vargas Muriano) we find Cerro Muriano, a small town just north of the City of Cordoba, and the site of ancient Roman copper mines known by that name.

Thanks

Jaime

I believe I have found another piece of the puzzle with the Castañeda family. The following: In a dispensa that can be found for the years 1710-1712, image 489 we find the following information:
Sierra de Pìnos - Nicolás de Castañeda y María Gómez Ruíz

It mentions that Nicolás is a native of Sierra de Pinos as well as María Gómez. They share a 4th and 3rd degree of consanguinity. He is the son of Antonio de Castañeda and Tomasa de Carrión; she is the daughter of Matías Gómez and Isabel Ruíz; The genealogy is not fully mentioned, the only information the witnesses give is that both are "bisnietos de dos hermanos carnales"
According to the dispensation, Antonio de Castañeda is the grandson of Pedro de Castañeda and María Gómez is the great grandaughter of Jacinta de Sotomayor. It also mentions that Jacinta was a sister to Blas Nieto. My question is the following: is Blas Nieto somehow related to the Nieto Corona family? This would put all these individuals at the beginning to the first quarter of the XVII century in Aguascalientes-Pinos region.
I hope this will shed forth even more light on this genealogy,

Carolyn, Daniel, David et al,

Just a quick note to correct the name of the "padrino" in the wedding of Miguel de Castañeda and María López. The transcription should read "fue su padrino el Capitán Pedro de Quixas y Escalante" instead of Juan de Quenca y Escalante. My mistake in reading the original document. Capt. Pedro de Quixas belonged to a prominent family of landowners in Pinos at that time. I apologize for the mistake, which was caught by the quick eyes of David Delgado of Albany, California. The transcription should read

Al margen: "Miguel de Castañeda y María López, españoles"

"En primero de febrero de dicho año (1653), se casó y veló según el orden
de la Santa Madre Iglesia habiendo antecedido todas las diligencias que manda
el concilio, Maria López, viuda de Joan Valadés, vecino que fue de esta
jurisdición, con Miguel de Castañeda, hijo legítimo de P.... de Castañe-
da, y de Jasinta de Sotomayor, vecinos de la jurisdición de Sierra de Pinos,
fue su padrino el Capitán Pedro de Quixas y Escalante. Y lo firmé
Pedro Rincon de Ortega"

Additional information about Pedro de Quixas y Escalante:

Capt. Pedro de Quixas y Escalante was the son of Pedro Fernández de Quixas and María de Escalante Borroto. He married Catalina López de Saldaña y Alcaraz, and established his family in Pinos, Zacatecas, where he was a rancher and raised cattle. They had several children, including two sons Diego and Juan de Quixas Escalante, ordained as priests in the Catholic Church, and one daughter, Catalina de Saldaña, who became a nun.

31. Testamento. Zacatecas, 12 de febrero 1656. Juan de Oñate Salcedo, residente hijo legítimo de Juan de Oñate, vecino de San Luís Potosí difunto (no dice madre) albacea,
y testamentario el bachiller Juan de Quijas Escalante, presbítero, cura y juez del partido de Sierra de Pinos. Heredera, Catalina de Saldaña hija del capitán Pedro de Quijas
para ayuda de la dote del estado de religiosa. fjs. (32-33)

The following excerpts from Jaime Holcombe's correspondence with Mary Lou Montagna (1992-1994)

"In the Zacatecas protocols is the will of a woman who connects with the Quijas Escalantes. It's in the notary records of Felipe de Espinosa, Box 04, Package 1659:

15 de noviembre de 1659 - testamento de Leonor de Saldaña, viuda, hija legítima del Capitán Juan de Herrera y Catalina de Saldaña, vecinos de Nuestra Señora de los
Zacatecas, de donde es originaria.

Casó en primeras nupcias con Antonio de Alcaraz, habiendo a los siguientes hijos: Diego de Herrera y Alcaraz, médico: Catalina de Saldaña y Alcaraz, mujer del Capitán
Pedro de Quijas Escalante; a la madre María del Santísimo Sacramento, monja profesa en el Convento de Regina Coeli de Mexico; Antonia de Saldaña y Alcaraz; Gerónima
de Alcaraz y Saldaña viuda del licenciado Diego Dávalos y Rivera, abogado de la Real Audiencia; el padre fray Jacinto de Herrera, religioso de San Francisco; Nicolás de
Alcaraz y Pedro de Herrera y Alcaraz, los dos últimos fallecidos y cuyas herencias de su padre fueron a cargo de mi hermano, Mateo de Herrera.

Casó por segunda vez con Bartolomé Hernández, ya difunto, y sus hijos fueron Ana de Saldaña y Juana de Saldaña. Juana murío después que su padre.

Son los albaceas el Capitán Pedro de Quijas Escalante mi yerno, Ana de Saldaña mi hija y Nicolás de Quijas Escalante mi nieto.

In the margin it reads: 2 de marzo de 1662 para Ana de Saldaña. En 2 de octubre se sacó de mandato de Juez para Diego Cid de Escobar.

Leonor de Saldaña's brother Mateo appears in other documents:

1. Same package of entries; In Zacatecas, 29 May 1659. El Capitán Pedro de Quijas Escalante vecino y criador de ganados en la jurisdicción de Sierra de Pinos arrienda
a Alonso Cordero, vecino y minero la hacienda de minas del beneficio de sacar plata por azogue por fín y muerte de Mateo de Herrera, escribano fue del Cabildo. La
hacienda le pertenece por la sentencia que los fueros Reales dieron sobre los bienes del dicho Mateo de Herrera. Es el arrendamiento por dos años que inician el
15 de junio de este año al precio anual de 500 pesos en plata.

2. Box 04, paquete de 1653: En Zacatecas, 6 de mayo de 1653, el Capitán Cristóbal Tostado, vecino y minero vende a Diego de Arteaga la hacienda de minas y huerta
que fue de Mateo de Herrera Quezada, difunto en 1,700 pesos de oro común en Reales."

Just in case someone is interested in this family.

Bill Figueroa,
Recently you provided the names of six children of Pedro Castañeda and Jacinta de Sotomayor, and also mentioned your belief that Nicolas Castañeda, the spouse of Ana Vargas, could be brother of Pedro. However, Nicolas was another child of Pedro and Jacinta, as it was stated in the marriage information when he pretended to marry Ana Vargas in Pinos, Zacatecas, https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15245-26512-76?cc=1804458&wc….
Ana was born in San Luis Potosi and lived in el Real de la Pendencia and was the daughter of Diego Vargas Moriano and Leonor de Cardona. Notice that her father's surname conflicts with at least one later document where the compound surname associated with Ana appears as 'Vargas Machuca'.

Sincerely

Jaime

Hello Jaime,

Wow!! You discovered a very important piece of the puzzle and the one were all missing. With this, all the other pieces seem to fall into place. This document confirms that Nicolás de Castañeda was indeed the son of Pedro de Castañeda and Jacinta de Sotomayor and not Pedro's brother, as I had originally thought.

As you mentioned, Ana de Vargas was the daughter of Diego de Vargas Moriano and Leonor de Cardona. The confusion with the surname "Vargas Machuca" stems from the burial record of Apolonia de Castañeda in 1739. Here is the link:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12142-72431-92?cc=1502404&…

This record conflicts with others with more credibility, such the Información Matrimonial you found and the final will and testament of Apolonia de Castañeda, filed 7 Feb 1715 in Aguascalientes. This important document in the Protocolos Notariales of Baltazar Díaz de Aguilera, Alcalde Ordinario de Aguascalientes, begins as follows:

"En el nombre de Dios todopoderoso amen: sepan quan-
tos la presente carta de poder vieren como io Da. Apolonia de
Castañeda, vezina de esta Villa de Aguas calientes
e hija lexitima de D. Nicolas de Castañeda y de Ana
de Vargas Muriano, vezinos que fueron de el Real de
Sierra de Pinos; hallandome sana de el cuerpo, memoria y en-
tendimiento natural tal qual Dios nuestro Señor
fue servido de darme....etc. etc."

Apolonia de Castañeda was in her late 40s or early 50s (her last child, Julián Flores de Robles, was born in 1705) and in good health when she filed her testament in 1715. She didn't die until 23 Aug 1739 when she was buried in Aguascalientes. I think that settles it, her parents were Nicolás de Castañeda and Ana de Vargas Muriano (or Moriano). The reference to the surname Vargas Machuca was a blunder by the scribe who recorded her burial.

Hola-

Ana's sister Maria de Vargas married Juan Delgado (son of Diego Delgado and Juana Diaz). Juan was a widower, having previously been married to Juana de Rivera. It appears that Maria de Vargas and Juana de Rivera were related, since the marriage required a dispensation for 'segundo con tercero grado de afinidad'. The dispensation can be found in the Pinos IM 1640-1699 records: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15245-25771-7?cc=1804458&wc=…

In the dispensation, Maria's parents are listed as Pedro de Vargas Moriano and Leonor de Cardona

…información dada por Juan Delgado, viudo de Juana de Rivera, hijo legitimo de Diego Delgado y de Juana Díaz, y María de Vargas, soltera hija legitima de Pedro de Vargas Moriano y de Leonor de Cardona españoles vecinos del partido de Sierra de Pinos para el matrimonio que pretenden contraer y el impedimento que resulta de parentesco de segundo con tercer grado de afinidad…

Please, help in finding who is the husband of this Catalina de Sepulveda

Hello forum.

Catalina de Sepulveda died 10 Sep. 1644 in Guadalajara, Nueva Galicia.

I just saw a secondary source that states that Ana de Ojeda’s first husband passed away in 1620 so that clears the way for the second marriage in 1621. Ana’s first husband was 45 years old when he passed away in 1620. Somehow genealogists have mixed up the age of 45 with the year of his death and have erroneously listed his death date as 1645. Luis was definitely from her first marriage.

Hello Ruben,

Ana de Ojeda (b. 1593) was married twice, first to to Capitan Pedro Topete Enriquez.

I think that Ana de Ojeda’s first husband is related to Lorenzo Meza through their “Mesa” lines. Her first husband’s father is Francisco Topete de Mesa.

Ana de Ojeda and her first husband had three daughters and three sons. One of her sons is named Luis who was baptized in September of 1615 in Guadalajara.

Lorenzo Meza Valdivia is her second husband, but I think that her first husband was still alive in 1621.

Ana de Ojeda was married to both men, but the children named as inheritors are from her first marriage. On 6/December/1653 she is identified as the widow of Lorenzo Meza Valdivia and the inheritors that she names are children from her first marriage to Capitan Pedro Topete Enriquez. Luis is one of the inheritors

I hope this helps.

Happy New Year,

Hello,

In looking at the death record, it does indeed mention Ana de Ojeda as suegra, but, not of Luis Bentura de Cabrera but instead of Lic. Francisco Rico ( y de la Torre). Francisco married Antonia Enriquez Topete y Ojeda, daughter of Ana de Ojeda and Pedro Enriquez Topete. Ana de Ojeda did indeed marry twice. His first marriage was to Pedro Enriquez Topete and her second marriage with Lorenzo de Meza. Ana de Ojeda was the daughter of Luis de Ahumada and Mariana de Ojeda y Vaca. This is all confirmed in Ana de Ojeda's testament found here:

Testamento de Ana de Ojeda - Guadalajara, Jalisco (23rd of October, 1653)

You can also find all sorts of rich information about Ana de Ojeda and her ancestors through the "Informaciones: Diego de la Mota y Carvajal" a grand-nephew of Ana de Ojeda through Diego's Ojeda ancestors. (Lorenzo de Meza gives testimony about Diego's limpieza and mentions that his wife, Ana de Ojeda, is an aunt of Diego) Link here:

Informaciones: Diego de la Mota y Carvajal - Guadalajara, Jalisco (13th of January, 1648)

I hope this helps.

Arzola (Jalisco/Zacatecas/Aguascalientes/San Luis Potosi)

I have two questions concerning the Arzola family:

Comentarios

Comentario

I read : "The first is concerning the line of Capitan Don Pedro de Arzola, vecino y minero del Real de Panuco. He was married to Dona Cecilia Lopes de Soto. They were the parents of Maria, Josefa, Nicolasa, and Cecilia de Arzola."
I found documentation to proof the link with Nicolasa, and Josefa but I haven't able to locate any documentation (or any type of source) to proof that Cecilia de Arzola is the daughter of Pedro de Arzola and Cecilia Lopez de Soto.
Does anyone has anything to proof the link??
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Happy 2021!

This is not my line but I do have some family group sheets which may help with the San Luis Potosi Arzola family. I was researching the Perez de Alanis line and had found a reference that said Juan Perez de Alanis was related to Perez de Arzola. I’ve seen the name written Arzola, Alzola, Alcola and other variations, but will use Arzola from now on.

Take a look at the following FGS in my Dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yop1j3tqornd0xh/AABnVNtOvuDJtcuW0Gk5vgBHa?dl…

Andres Perez cc Magdalena de Arzola

Diego Perez de Arzola cc Maria de Santa Cruz

Alonso Bernal cc Isabel de Salas

Luis de Salas y Valdez cc Ana de Rojas

Juan Perez de Alanis cc Isabel de Salas

Gabriel Ortiz de Fuenmayor cc Ysabel Perez de Alanis

Note that Alonso de Cardenas and his wife Maria de Arzola were godparents to Alonso de Salas (Rojas) on 16 Apr 1614 in Pinos. Not sure where she fits in.

Hola otra vez:
De la búsqueda en Familysearch no se puede obtener evidencias de que ambas familias estén relacionadas entre sí, pero es muy probable. Actualmente está deshabilitada la Guía General del Archivo General de la Nación que podría ayudar.

Primero te contaré lo que yo sé: A mediados del siglo XVI pasó a Perú Don Francisco de Irarrazábal, gentilhombre de su majestad el Rey de Inglaterra, lo acompañaba un séquito de familias de orígen vasco , entre ellos la familia Gárate cuya descendencia quedó en Perú, pero una parte pasó a Zacatecas. Algunos de los miembros de éste grupo, proceden de Elgoibar.

Por otro lado el prior de los frailes dominicos en Nueva Galicia era Fray Domingo de Alzola, que llegó a ser obispo. Con su nombre en el buscador aparecen varios libros y artículos.

En PARES encontré los siguientes registros, todos a Nueva España:

1582 INDIFERENTE 740,N.65 Fray Domingo de Alzola para la Iglesia de Jalisco.

1590 INDIFERENTE,2065,N.57 Licencia a Alonso de Santoyo y para Ambrosio de Asola, hijo de Pedro de Ansola, natural de Elgoibar.

1607 CONTRATACION, 5299,N.2, P.45 Licencia a Juan Pérez de Alsola criado de Francisco Hernández Osorio, natual de Elgoibar, hijo de Juan Pérez de Alzola y de María de Zavala.

1621 CONTRATACION,5368,N.19 Juan de Alzola natural de Elgoibar hijo de Domingo de Alzola y de Ana de Azcárate pasa en compañía del contador Matheo de Aróstegui.

En Familysearch encontré otra familia del mismo grupo:
Bautismo el 27 de febrero de 1659, en la Santa Veracruz, Ciudad de México de Francisca hija de Juan de Arasola Yrasaval y de Laura María de Sandoval.

Es casi seguro que las dos familias están relaciondas porque proceden del mismo lugar, pero afirmar que el Pedro de Arzola de San Luis Potosí es el mismo que el de Pánuco, de momento sería difícil, tal vez cuando se pueda consultar la Guía General aparezcan en los ramos de Tierras o Mercedes.

Posiblemente haya información en las páginas de genealogía vasca de Elgoibar, porque de los Gárate sí encontré una página que organizaba toda las ramas.

Hello David,

Marcelina is correct, some of the children of Joan de Alçola (how he signed his name) and Ynes de Salas do appear as testigos & padrinos in the early San Matias Pinos archives. When did your Pedro Arzola cc Cecilia Lopes de Soto live?

I have found various documents regarding Joan de Alçola in the SLP misc archives: here's his testamento, dated 1596. He names their legitimate children, as well as 2 hijos naturales that he fathered with Engracia de la Olacaval, in Los Ramos de Zacatecas, named Mariana Arzola (b. 1571) and Andres Arzola (b 1574).
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-958X-SWLK?i=137&cc=204…

He names Doctor Juan de Bernal clerigo as his brother, and Pedro de Arzola as his cousin.

Though this Pedro de Arzola does appear in SLP and in old Sierra de Pinos, I don't know if he is the same from Panuco. Here he is, registering a mine 27 Jan 1597:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G58X-SZHB?cc=2040013

And here he is, baptizing an hijo natural, named Pedro: 11 Feb 1607:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9G2L-1MC?cc=1860864

The name "Pedro" coincides in both lines, but then, it was a very popular name in early San 'Pedro' Minas de Potosi. Nonetheless, Joan de Alçola definitely lived previously in Zacatecas (where most of the founders of SLP originated). And then there's the "Salas" surname, which appears in both lines. Worth looking into.

Saludos!

I have a copy of the dispensa for Pedro Enríquez and Isabel Calderón, dated 3 Jul 1667 in San Felipe, Gto. It states Pedro was from San Luis Potosí and the bride from Nochistlán in Nueva Galicia.

However, it does not mention his parents. Some genealogists have him as Enríquez de Rivera (an influential family in San Luis Potosí) and others have him as Enríquez del Castillo.

Comentario

Daniel, I think you have confused the individual’s that Sandra Patricia is speaking of: her Pedro Enriquez del Castillo was baptized 24 May 1646, son of Hernando Enriquez del Castillo cc Isabel Calderon Delgadillo, while the Pedro Enriquez and Isabel Calderon you speak of didn’t marry until 3 July 1667. These are 2 different families, living in 2 different places and at different times. An easy mistake to make, considering the similarities of the names & surnames - it took me a while to figure it out, too!

Sandra Patricia, I have Hernando Enriquez del Castillo marrying Mariana Diaz de Pangua on 22 Jun 1621 in Guadalajara; while they baptized a son named Hernando on 6 Oct 1631, he would’ve been too young to have been the father of your Pedro. Mariana Diaz did her testamento on 10 Feb 1641, so it’s possible that she died and Isabel Calderon Delgadillo was Hernando’s second wife. Here’s Mariana’s testamento, perhaps you can find a clue:
