Hi

I came across the death/burial record for:

Maria Ruys (Ruis) de Esparza, wife of el capn.Thomas de Alexo Villalpando.

She has been referred to as Maria de Sotelo, and Maria de Xaen Ruiz de Esparza in other documents, according to George Fulton's "Descendants of Tomás de Villalpando and Maria Beles (Vélez)

She was buried 09 March 1710 in Asientos.

I found three mentions of Antonio Villapando...three men or two or one and the same?

Here are the links and some info:

Hi Villalpando and Aguila researchers

I have gone through the images for the Asientos Informacion Matrimoniales 1750- 54 looking for Aguila and Villalpando names. I did not see anyone with last name Aguila, but there were several Villalpandos. I have already posted some of them, and here are the rest:

I started to note whether or not they signed their name because earlier I found two Antonio Villalpandos and that was the only difference.

I found:

Joseph Antonio Villalpando as testigo #2 , noted as single, age 25. I think he is #29 on George Fulton's list of descendants of Tomas de Villalpando, where he is listed as the son of Elena Lorensa de Villalpando and Salbador de Santiago de Escobar, christened 16 May 1736. The proposed marriage is for Joseph Sanchez mestizo and Maria Servantes española, the document is dated 06 May of 1752.

Hi Denise!

I found this while looking for something else and I thought it appropriate to share here.

It is for a merced (land grant) given to Don Juan Antonio Villalpando in 1762 (I think).

“…en dicha ciudad a los 17 de marzo pasado de este corriente año, en que hizo merced a Don Juan Antonio Villalpando y sus consortes vecinos de los Asientos de 36 caballerías, y tres cuartos de otra que resultan realengas en el Puesto de Tepezalá de la misma jurisdicción…”

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-DS3B-G?cat=278176

And elsewhere, I found a map that I believe shows the above mentioned merced near Tepezalá. There is also a signature from a Pedro Joseph de Billalpando on the page.

Denise,

I'm glad you found more info on the Villalpando line, two generations! Great!

Keep up the good work please.

Best regards,

Hi George

I found this reference to a Thomas de Villalpando in Asientos (Tepesala) in a case regarding a palabra de casamiento

16 August 1724
Maria de la Salud Esparza Billalpando espanola
From Tepesala but resident of Asientos
identified as the daughter of Thomas de Billalpando and Maria de Esparza

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6PH7-MV7?i=345&wc=M6QX…

It's in the Info Matr for Asientos 1721-26, image 346.

I came across documents regarding a case of dispute over a promise of marriage. The man involved is named Marzelo Antonio Nepumoceno Villalpando. He declares that he does not, after all, want to marry Maria del Carmen Lopez, (even though he admits to “illicit amistad”) She contests this. In his declaration he mentions the following:
His father - Manuel Villalpando
His brother in law - Diego de Aguila, living in Tepezala
His uncle - Miguel Villalpando

His father is further identified at the beginning of the document as Joseph Manuel Villalpando.
Here is a link to the first image where case is mentioned:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6769-Q2J?i=517&wc=M6QX…
It runs from image 518 to image 547. Most of the images are good and handwriting is clear, but the last few pages are not so clear. Don’t know how it ended, except FS index reveals that Marzelo later married someone else and had several children.

There are a few other names and relationships, including perhaps two other siblings, but my Spanish is not good enough to be sure of what is stated. But I am sure of the above. So I concluded that this Marzelo could be the brother of Antonia Rosalia Villalpando married to Diego de el Aguila. In which case they had the same father and maybe the same mother.

In indexed records in FS, I found a marriage for a Joseph Manuel Villalpando and Maria Dolores de Santiago in 1730. I figured if they married in 1730, they would be having children from 1730 - 40 or later. So I could search in that decade for baptisms for either person. If I found Marzelo, at least I knew Manuel’s children were being baptized there. Earlier, I had a theory that Antonia Rosalia was born between 1717-27 but now I could see that was probably wrong - no wonder I never found it in those earlier records! I needed to look in the 1730’s. I did , and I found Antonia Rosalia’s record of baptism. This is the link:

Image 740
22 June 1732
Antonia Rosalia 8 days old, esp. h.l.
Father: Manuel Villalpando
Mother: Maria de los Dolores
Padrino: Nicolas Vicente de Esparza

In the indexed record of marriage mentioned above, Joseph Manuel Villalpando’s parents are named: Antonio de Villalpando and Maria Chaires. His bride is named as Maria Dolores de Santiago, daughter of Juan de Santiago and Gertrudis de los Angeles. The funny thing is, I have recently posted a question about the name Chaires because I didn’t know if I was reading it right, thought it might be Chaves - at the time, I was just curious, had no idea they were on my family tree!
It is absolutely a stroke of luck I found this info, because I was looking for informaciones matrimoniales and was ready to hop over all these images about some case involving a Villalpando - there are so many in that area at that time - but curiosity got the better of me (it was really a tragic case of desire and perhaps ambition gone wrong, parents didn’t approve, illicit amistad, he said/she said), and then the name Diego del Aguila popped up, the brother in law of Marzelo! And it rolled from there.

Additional info I found in baptismal records not yet indexed: Marzelos grandparents, Antonio and Maria, had these two children which I found recently - info below is from my notes:

So, I have Antonia Rosalia’s parents and her paternal grandparents. Hope to find out more on her mother’s side, and how Antonio Villalpando links up with the other Villalpandos of Asientos!

Hi

I am trying to find out if these two Juana Villalpandos are the same person.

The first Juana:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DCXQ-PHS?i=249&wc=M6Q6…

The first image is for a baptism of Juana de Guadalupe (left hand side, 5th from the top)
Her father is clearly written Antonio del Villalpando.
Her mother’s name (last name) is not so clear: Maria de Chavez? Chayze? Chayre?

The second Juana

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6323-9G1?i=495&wc=M6QX…

The second image is an Informacion Matrimonial for Joseph de Arambulo and Juana Villalpando. On the third line from the top, you see Juana’s mother’s name. It looks like the same last name on the birth certificate - kind of like Chavez yet not Chavez.

I am pretty sure its the same woman, but the last name of the mother is one I cannot figure out. The second Juana was espanola, but at the age of 36, with both her parents dead, she marries a mulato, who was fifty years old. What an interesting story! I am not descended from this couple, but I have some African genes, however so far only found one African ancestor from back in the 1600s and the connection is not 100% sure. I am hoping to find out for sure some day! But this record may be of interest to anyone who has this couple on their tree. As for my interest, I don't like having mistakes on surnames in my own notes.

Anyway, can anyone help me with the last name of Maria mother of Juana?

Regards
Denise

I am trying to find the baptism of Rosalia Villalpando who was the wife of Diego Xavier de el Aguila...They were the parents of Justa Rafaela de el Aguila. She married Rafael Romo aka Rafael Femat, who ended up in Coahuila and founded the Romo line in Nadadores and San Buenaventura. (My great grandmother was a Romo from that area). I can see from the images and the digitized records that the Villalpandos are linked to Femat, Serrano, Romo, Esparza, and Gentil Gallardo families (among others) - very interesting! I hope to get Rosalias line straightened out....and i appreciate the info on Thomas Villalpando in you post - I imagine somehow there is a link to Rosalia.

Therefore, if you have any information on Rosalia Villalpando I would appreciate a posting on it!

Best Regards
Denise
