I want to share this finding. It's a story about Maria Carrillo Davila found in: Matrimonios 1690-1695, 1707, 1709 Page 566.
It is the marriage of Joseph Ramon and Josepha Cid Caldera. Marriage dispensation requested February 7, 1690, in Xerez, Zacatecas.
Dispensation for fourth-degree consanguinity.—
Joseph Román, resident of the City of Zacatecas, son of unknown parents, having been abandoned at the home of Don Joseph Román de Cabrera; with Josepha Sid, a 19-year-old Spaniard born and raised in the Villa de Xerez de la Frontera;
parents: Pedro Sid Caldera (Spaniard Josepha Sid; and Juana Rosales).
The prospective groom was informed of the kinship and asked that the matter be kept secret, given that Doña María Carrillo de Avila—who is said to have been his mother and is now deceased—had been a woman of high social standing and had been married to a prominent man who is still alive.
Declaration of Doña María de Arellano, a 50-year-old Spaniard and widow of Captain Don Pedro Carrillo Dávila:
She stated that Doña María Carrillo; now deceased; told her that while living at the *estancia* known as San Diego—within the jurisdiction of Pánuco—at her mother's house, she had become pregnant & despite her reputation as a maiden; and that, under the pretext of illness, she was taken to the City of Zacatecas to the home of Joseph de Román Cabrera, where Joseph Román; the prospective groom was born; and that the grandparents of the prospective couple—Don Pedro Carrillo Dávila and María Carrillo—were first cousins. Definition of the kinship:
Don Pedro Carrillo Dávila and Juan Carrillo Dávila were brothers; Pedro fathered María Carrillo, and she was the mother of Pedro Sid Caldera & father of the prospective bride.
I used Google translation to English so it may not be accurate. Who was the prominent husband of Maria Carrillo who was still alive? I am confused on the different Carrillos with the same names. There were two Maria Carrillo De Avilas closely related; maybe more.
