Mineral del Favor

Hello!

Have you ever heard of a rancho or pueblo called Mineral del Favor? could be in Jalisco or Michoacan,

I am tracing Alejo Espinoza's first wife Antonia Barragan (the marriage record attached indicates she was burried there)

Thank you in advance

Padron Jalostotitlan 1679 page 346 Perez Maldonado- Lomelin for Rick

The actual original pages are not in the book Historia de nuestra señora de San Juan de los Lagos, and according to other posts in this forum the padron is not on family search, however the author transcribed it for his book.

The book is online for free since it was published more than 100 years ago and it's public domain now.

I'm sure you had this already, I'm just pointing out the connection between Josepha Perez M. and Angela, who I believe to have been sisters

Adios for now:)

Perez Maldonado

Hi Everyone

So I haven't been able to get the book Ameca, protofundación Mexicana, as I live in Canada, but I was able to find a snippet view of Angela Perez Maldonado, Amaya Topete says that she was the sister of the priest Juan Perez Maldonado (attached)

Rick, commented here that there was a couple of dispensations mentioning her, one where she is the daughter of Diego Perez Maldonado, and the other says she is his grand child, however I have been unable to locate them so far.

Does anyone have any links to her ancestry? I saw her family tree on family search but a lot of the names don't have any source documents and I would like to know more about that family.

Any other books you would recommend, or sources for info are much, much appreciated.

Gracias de nuevo :)

Tierras y aguas, 1584-1866 I need help figuring oot all of it

Como muchoas ya han de saber, todos los libros de las Tierras y Aguas sobre las propiedadades están disponibles digitalmente para poderlos consultar/As you might already know, all the books from Tierras y aguas, 1584-1866, are available to explore on

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/278176?availability=Family%…

Me parece increible porque yo siempre he querido saber sobre las primeras personas que eran dueñas de todas esas tierras en Calvillo, Aguascalientes.Encontré muchos registros donde mencionan al valle de huejucar o mencionan tierras que probablemte se encontraban allí. El Valle de huejucar que ahora se conmoce como Calvillo, fue parte de la juridiccion de Juchip[ila por mas de dos siglos.
Which is amazing because I always wanted to find out who were the landowners in Calvillo, Aguascalientes back then known as Valle de Huejucar/Huejucar. Calvillo belonged to the Juchipila back then. I found various records that mention land within that area of Calvillo, but I've found it incredibly hard to read because there are new abbreviations, the terminology is different compared to the church records and also the writing is hard to understand.

1. Diego Flores en Juchipila. Se menciona a Valle de Huejucar

2. Lazaro Calvillo. Se menciona que sus tierras son desde Ojocalientillo a la sierra de Teocaltiche. Lo que me hace pensar que se trate de un lugar actual de Calvillo que se llama arroyo de Ojocalientillo y la sierra de Teocaltiche ahora se llama Sierra de Laurel./ It mentions Ojocalientillo and the Sierra of Teocaltiche. I suppose that Ojocalientillo is now the place known in Calvillo as Arroyo de ojocalientillo, and The Sierra de Teocaltiche is the Sierra of Laurel?

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-6SHB-K?i=286&cat=…

Aquí también se menciona a un tal José Calvillo como testigo, pariente to Lázaro Calvillo, se tratará del dueño de la hacienda se San Cristobal y de la persona que en el futuro donaría la mayoría de los terrenos para la fundación de la villa de San José de Huajucar actual Calvillo?/ There is a Jose Calvillo, related to Lázaro Calvillo, as a witness. Could he be the owner of Hacienda of San Cristobal and the landowner who later donated the land where the Village of San Jose of Huejucar, now Calvillo, was founded?

3.Don Mathias López de Carrasquilla. Juchipila y Aguascalientes. Según José Antonio Gutierrez G., en su libro "Historía De La Iglesia Católica En Aguascalientes Volumen II" nombra a Mathias López como uno de los que pasaron a ser propietarios de tierras que se les habian otorgado originalmente en 1550 a Alonzo Velasco, Diego Flores, su suegro y a Diego de los Rios. Según Antonio Gutierrez G., esas tierras que les fuerom otorgadas formarian la hacienda de Gaztambinde, o Vaquerías. / According to José Antonio Gutiérrez on his book "Historía De La Iglesia Católica En Aguascalientes Volumen II/ The History Of The Catholic Church in Aguascalientes Volume II", Mathias Lopez de Carrasquilla acquired land that was originally owned by the first european setlers Alonzo Velasco, Diego Flores, su suegro y a Diego de los Rios, which later gave rise to the Hacienda de Gaztambide, or Vaquerias in Calvillo.

Si alguien me puede ayudar a leer esos documentos se lo agradecería mucho, o darme tips para aprender a leerlos.

También incluyo una captura de el indice de los libros de Tierra y Agua, donde dice que hay un libro con registros de 1865, pero no lo he podido encontrar en ningún lado. Se habrá perdido y no le tomarom film? I attached a screen capture where it shows that there's supposed to be a Book number @ with all the records from 1584, but I couldn't find them.

Otra cosa es que hay más de 100 "Legajos" además de todos los libros, alguien sabe que información es esa y si hay indices? There are about a hundres books called "Legajos" I have no idea if there is an index for them too.

Gracias y espero y me puedan ayudar.

Slavery in Tlaltenango

I recently came across this Baptism entry in which the child is mentioned to be slave of Balthazar Correa.

-En la yga. de Tepichitlan en dose de dho mes y ano baptize y puse lo SS. Oleos y Chrisma a Jsea Rozalia, esclava de Dn. Balthazar Correa de nueve dias hija de Manuela, fue su Mna. Ju Gertrudis Segura y le adverti su oblig.n y parentesco y lo firme (firma ilegible)-

Does anyone know of other cases of slavery in Tlaltenango, Atolinga or in the region?
