Hi

I am looking for the parents of Sebastian de el Aguila, married to Dona Maria Teresa Lopez de Nava.

They are named as parents of Don Diego Xavier de el Aguila in his marriage to Anna Maria Valdes 09 Dec 1778.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6SGW-94B?i=161&wc=M6QF…

I have searched high and low for Aguilas in Family Search. There are several Sebastians and one with potential. However, I need Sebastians marriage record to be sure....

Next step is going through images page by page, unless someone already has this information.....and is willing to share!

Regards,
Denise

Hi Daniel and Bernardo

I am happy that this IM I found has helped you. I am slowly reading it though (its about 40 images!) and there is surely lots of good new info.

Right now the Lopez de Nava connection has caught my attention. THere are a few new names.

And there is also the illegitimage daugther of Diego Xavier de Aguila - I hope to find out if she lived long enought to have descendents.

Regards,
Denise

I FINALLY found the IM for this couple.

Starts on image 310 and still going on image 330....There was some controversy involved - Diego had promised to marry his first cousin, and even had a child with her... but they did not marry (because did not get dispensation?). I have not finished reading it yet, but at least his father is named as JUAN SEBASTIAN DE AGUILA. and his mother as MARIA TERESA LOPEZ DE NAVA. That's a step forward, getting the full names.

Here is the link:

22 oct. 2018 edit, p.s.: Diego Xavier de Aguila is declared free to marry Maria Rosalia de Villalpando on image 351.

Hi

I found the information matrimonial for the marriage of:

Dn. Diego Xavier de el Aguila (or de la Aguila - both are used in the document)
and
Da. Ana Maria Valdes

image 541 , november 21 or 22 (unclear) of 1778, Aguascalientes (Asuncion de Maria)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-67LP-RH?i=540&wc=M6QF-…

Here I can see that he was 51 years old at the time, she was 24.

Denise,

It's good to see you're back doing research. Interesting leads you and our fellow members have on the el Aguila surname.

I have now done some DNA analysis, Y and autosomal. My second and third closest autosomal matches are from descendants of Rafael Romo/Femat from Coahuila, currently living in Texas. We only know of one descendant of Rafael Romo and Rafaela del Aguila, Manuel, so mitochondrial DNA won't help researching this line. In my case Rafaela del Aguila is 7 generations from me, so probably just borderline for autosomal DNA.

Have you considered DNA testing?

Regards,

BMF

Hi Bernardo

I had a DNA test done via Ancestry, the kind that gives you the percentages for ethnicity. I knew I had Indian ancestors (had found 1 indio through genealogy research in church records) but was surprised to see 31% Native American. Otherwise no big surprises except I expected more Jewish than the 4% that came back. (55% European - mostly Iberian peninsula, 6% North African, 4% middle eastern). And Ancestry kindly told me my mother is my mother and my brother is my brother :) - we sent in our tests at the same time! It showed I had close ties to northeastern Mexico and South Texas genetic community. (My mother is more closely tied to Central Mexico - her paternal grandmother was Romo.) Maybe the hits you got are my family in Texas? I can tell you that the San Antonio Romos (father, mother and several children) came to San Antonio just before 1900 - among them my great grandmother. You can see that if you check out my file here in NR. (Haven't gotten round to updating it though since I uploaded it...)

Well, now that I know I have a lot of Native American genes, I am determined to find those individuals by name! So the Aguila research goes on...

Regards,
Denise

Here is their marriage record:

Thanks Rick!

In the actual record (the image) there is no information about the parents of Juan. And I also do not have documentation that this Juan was actually Sebastian (Juan Sebastian) father of Diego Xavier de el Aguila. That is what I now am looking for. I was hoping to find the info matrimonial for the marriage of 22 feb 1724, I looked through the available images from may 1723 - march 1724 for Asientos, but did not see it. Went to Fresnillo records to look through the info matrimoniales but there is a gap for 1724 and late 1723.....

I would like to here say thanks for all the info you have shared with us in NR! It represents a mountain of research. I have even enjoyed reading about the Lisalde family, although they are not on my tree! I descent from Lope RdE through the Romo line via Raphael Romo aka Femat. Maybe I also descend from him via the Lopea de Nava line....hope to soon find out one way or the other.

Regards
Denise

Dear Denise,

A bell rang in my head when you said that you descend from Rafael Romo aka Femat as there is a Femat that is a madrina to a child of Diego Xavier de la Aguila and Ana Maria Valdez. Jose Perez Theran and Maria de la Luz Femat are the padrinos.

Maria Ventura Trinidad de Aguila
Event Type Baptism
Event Date 16 Jul 1781
Event Place Nuestra Señora de Belén, Asientos, Aguascalientes, Mexico
Gender Female
Father's Name Diego de Aguila
Mother's Name Ana Maria Valdez

Thanks and good luck in your research,
Rick A. Ricci

Thanks Rick!

Here's what I have, to sum up what you found, and what I and others found:

Don Diego del el Aguila had 2 wives.

Wife #1 was Rosalia Villalpando.
Their daughter was Raphaela Aguila born ca. 1760, married to Raphael Femat/Romo (son of Ygnacio Antonio Femat and Victoria Antonia Velasco)

Wife #2 was Ana Maria Valdez
Their daughter is the person you found: Maria Ventura Trinidad de Aguila bapt 1781
madrina was Maria de la Luz Femat, and I would guess she could be Rafaela's sister in law or aunt.

Bernardo Menchaca found two sisters already, Maria Rosalia Femat bapt. Nov 1765, and Maria Gertrudis Diega Femat bapt. Nov 1767.

Raphael was born in 1763 as their first child. So if there is another sister (Maria de la Luz), she would have been born after 1767. That would make her ca 13-14 years old, max, - too young to be a madrina, making it more likely Maria de la Luz was an aunt - sister of Ygnacio Antonio Femat. Well, it's an educated guess!

Regards
Denise

Thanks Danny!

I am still trying to establish that the couple you found are the same ones listed as parents of Diego Xavier de el Aguila.

No record of them in the info matr for Asientos. Nor in Asunscion de Maria, Aguascalientes, - but 1724 plus part of 1723 are missing in the latter. For now i am at a dead end....may check info matr for fresnillo....

Denise

Thanks a million! I HAD seen the image yesterday but thought it must be the wrong person, but you made me look again....Juan's parents are not named in the document, but I can try to find the info matrimonial for this marriage.

What made me think again is that the marr record for Diego Xavier de el Aguila and Anna Maria Valdes lists his mother as Maria TERESA Lopez de Nava, and in the image of Juan's marriage to Maria Lopez de Naba, is lists her mother as (Dna) TERESA Sanchez.

This is my candidate for Sebastian:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-VGSQ-6T?i=439&wc=3JCT-… IMAGE

So now I have to search the info matrimoniales....narrowed down to sometime before the date of Juans marriage...!

Denise

Hi Denise,

I'd like to add my two cents, besides being related to all the families mentioned: i.e. Romo, Femat, Villalpando, López de Nava, etc. I share a close connection here as Ana María López de Valdés y Salas would be my sixth great grand aunt. Prior to your post, I had no knowledge of this child as daughter of José Mateo López de Valdés y Aguilar and Agueda Celia de Salas y Bonilla, the couple originally were from Santa María de los Lagos.
