NuestrosRanchos Website - High-Traffic

All,

As one of several administrators of this NuestrosRanchos website, I recently began summarizing stats of how often this website is accessed.  

Daily member logins are only a small portion of how often this site is visited and utilized.  NuestrosRanchos is considered a high-traffic website.

The large number of website visits ( shared below) are a tribute to those original members that founded this site back in 2003. 

The founding members obviously recoqnized the value and need for sharing historical and genealogical information related to Jalisco and adjacent regions. As a result the NuestrosRanchos website is considered very popular. This is accomplished without ads or monthly user fees, which makes this even more impressive.  Even though our registered member base is considered modest (1,750 members), I personally appreciate the efforts of all of our members, and the discussions and input that has been shared over the last 23 years.

Tomás Ortiz de Ayala

Greetings, does anybody here know who were the parents of Captain Tomás Ortiz de Ayala? He was "Justicia mayor de los valles de Tlazazalca y Guaniqueo" and founder of the Ortiz de Ayala family one of the most important families in mexican history. 

I've been researching the Ortiz de Ayala lineage for a long time and this is one of the few questions that I still have left. I haven't found any mentions of Tomas's parents anywhere, but I have some clues as to who his parents might have been: 

1. One of his children, Agustín, used "López de Ayala" as his last name instead of Ortiz or Ayala as most of his siblings did. 

2. He had a son named Juan Pedro who perhaps was his second born male son, this one had a son named Pedro and his grandson had the same name too, these didn't use the "Ortiz" surname only the "Ayala" so they would be referred to in documents as "Pedro de Ayala/Allala".

Another clue is the two names of the just mentioned "Juan Pedro", I had read here about a family that resided

Good day.

While that is a working hypothesis, it is worth noting that the Ortiz and Ayala surname pairing appears across other 16th-century lineages in New Spain. For instance, Antonio Ortiz de Matienzo (a former Viceroyal Page) was married to Luisa de Ayala in Mexico City by 1555. Besides, as we currently know, the Pantoja family resided in Michoacán as regidores (Pátzcuaro) and there is the marriage of Catalina Ortiz de Ayala with Francisco de Pantoja in Toledo, who in turn, was a sixth grandson of Fernán Pérez Pantoja. Moreoever, in the 16th century there is another Tomás de Ayala in the protocols of Antonio Alonso in 1579 who may be the father of the Tomás de Ayala of Michoacán.

Given the fluidity of 16th-century naming conventions in early New Spain, we must be careful since surname overlap alone cannot establish parentage. Until explicit primary-source documentation (such as a baptismal record, dowry, or marriage velación) is uncovered for Tomás, any proposed connection must be carefully analyzed.

Cargo de Lanzas

While doing research for my upcoming book on the Marquisate of Pánuco, title of my ancestors, I stumbled upon an interesting primary-source entry in the Viceregal Correspondence (Correspondencia de Virreyes, Mexico, 1778) detailing the 1777 "Cargo de Lanzas" for New Spain.

For context, the Cargo de Lanzas (or Servicio de Lanzas) was a direct tax on titled nobility. It originated as an old medieval duty where nobles had to supply armed knights (lances) to the Crown during wartime. In 1631, King Philip IV monetized this military obligation into an annual tax, requiring titled families to pay a set fee to the Real Hacienda to legally maintain their status. By 1773, nobles in the Americas could either pay the annual fee or permanently redeem the tax with a single lump-sum payment.

What makes this specific 1777 record interesting is seeing the roster of New Spain’s top and wealthiest mining magnates and aristocratic estates listed side-by-side settling their accounts with the Royal Treasury

María Rojas de López Portillo

I would like to share this, for the sake of keeping the memory of the ancestors alive. 

The empress Charlotte of Belgium had the kindness to appoint my fifth great-grandmother, María Rojas de López Portillo (wife of Jesús López Portillo y Serrano, state councilor to Emperor Maximilian and his imperial prefect, Governor of Jalisco), as one of her four ladies-in-waiting, alongside the following ladies:

  • Rafaela Pérez-Palacios de Elguero (wife of Hilario de Elguero y Guisasola)
  • Matilde (Romero de) Terreros de Cervantes (wife of Miguel de Cervantes y Estanillo)
  • Refugio Pradel de Adalid (wife of Joaquín de Adalid y Sánchez de Tagle)

The notice was published in "El Diario del Imperio" No. 380 on April 6, 1866, two years after Doña Carlota was crowned Empress of Mexico.

The empress proposed several reforms and outlined various plans to improve the region she governed and the lives of those within it. The titles of ladies-in-waiting were not merely honorary; they also carried out various duties as

Leonor Chávez Corona

Greetings, I've been looking for info and relationship with the Villaseñor of "Leonor Chávez Corona/Corona de Villaseñor" wife of Diego Ruiz de Cortés and mother of Andrés Ruiz de Chávez (founder of the Ruiz de Chávez lineage), Juan Ortiz Cortés (ancestor of Miguel Hidalgo and Morelos) and many others. Her grandchildren and later descendants regularly used the last name "Villaseñor" and "Corona" without having any other possible descent from those families other than through her. The use of Corona and Villaseñor together was first seen with the marriage of Juan de Villaseñor Cervantes (first male son of Juan de Villaseñor Orozco) and Catalina Corona. They had children in the decade of 1560s/1570s meaning that in order for Leonor to be a descendant of this marriage she'd have to be at best a granddaughter of these two (since she began to have children by c. 1600) but I have no knowledge of any children of theirs marrying someone with the last name "Chávez". If someone knows anything

Dear Daniel,

Your insight is fascinating, as always. I have long wondered about the claimed connection between the Ruiz de Chávez family and Hernán Cortés (aside from the Cortés line that suggests a link, of course). If this branch of the Chávez family indeed originates from Ciudad Rodrigo (Salamanca), there is a strong possibility they stem from the García de Chaves lineage, who were connected by marriage to the Orellana family, ancestors of Cortés himself.

Please do keep us updated as your research progresses.

Best regards,

Erik Andrés Reynoso y Márquez

Hello Erik,

Great to hear from you! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this family. I find your suggestion that these Chavez might have a link to the Garcia de Chavez (plus the possible connection to the Orellana family) very fascinating and worth investigating further as time permits. I'll gladly share my findings as I go. 

For now, I'm stuck trying to decipher a very difficult (to me) paleography that mentions the names of Andres de Chavez parents (in his will): 

Mexico, Michoacán, Morelia, registros notariales; ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKV-D9KL-D

Image
Andres de Chavez - Cabeza del testamento

I can make out the name of the mother, which I take it to be "...doña Maria de Chaves..."? The father's name is super difficult to read. I'm guessing it's either Pedro or Gonzalo - I can't make out the last name. "...vecinos que fueron del pueblo de sep(?)... jurisdicion de Ciudad Rodrigo de los Reynos de Castilla...". 

Further in the same documents, we see a carta de dote where Andres' parents are mentioned again and it's a slightly more legible:

Mexico, Michoacán, Morelia, registros notariales; ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKV-D9K9-K

Image
Carta de dote

"...hijo legitimo de Pedro/Gonzalo (?) ... de maria de chaves su mujer naturales del pueblo de sepul(?) ... de la jurisdicion de ciudad rodrigo en espana..."

I still can't confirm/make out the parents names and the town that they were originally from that fell under the jurisdiction of Ciudad Rodrigo. If anyone is able to make it out, please let us know.

Thank You,

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Thank you so much for sharing these important documents! That processional hand is certainly difficult, but I wanted to pass some of my thoughts about it.

The father’s surname actually differs slightly between the two images, the second one uses a chained notary shorthand. What initially looks like Ordás has a distinct B in the middle (matching the scribe's B in Bieren/vieren). Taking both folios together, the ductus points toward an Orbal-/Corbal-/Gorbal-root.

As a potential lead: I checked my database and found Hernando de Gorbalán (also known as Corbalán), a regidor of Ciudad Rodrigo who was tied to Saelices el Chico, Hinojosa de Duero, and Ciudad Rodrigo. In 1572, he and his brother Antonio de Corbalán de Saavedra (regidor of Astorga) filed a Probanza Ad Perpetuam Rei Memoriam of their nobility, citing their paternal grandparents Ginés de Gorbalán and Catalina Álvarez Barba. Here is some info about him: PARES | Archivos Españoles I am not entirely convinced this is the correct lineage so please take it with a grain of salt.

As for their origin, the text clearly starts with Sepul..., but since it's within the jurisdiction of Ciudad Rodrigo, it’s likely a local despoblado or micro-toponym rather than Sepúlveda.

Best regards,

Erik

Thank you, Erik, for taking the time to review the information and providing your expertise on what the last name could be of Andres' father. Thank you as well for sharing your findings on the possible relatives of Andres' father. I'll take a closer look at the information you shared to see if we can find out more about this family.

I sincerely appreciate your help and support with this! I'll let you know if I find any concrete leads on Andres' ancestry.

Best Wishes,

I think it was an assumption made based on the availability of the documents at the time. I have to imagine that it was much more challenging in the past to do this kind of research as you had to travel to the archives in person. This is similar to the case where for a while it was thought that Catalina Corona cc Juan de Villasenor Cervantes was originally from Extremadura, Spain as detailed in the book "Los Nietos de Don Juan" by Davila Garibi. It's not a dig or criticism, it's just a matter of what material/records were accessible at the time. I find myself having to adjust old theories/conjectures as more information and documents become available.

Thank you for the additional information and context Pascual. This is very useful and tells me I'm on the right track. 

I'd like to share some clues on the ancestry of Leonor de Chavez Corona. There's a mention of a sale for some land that dates from the late 1500s where Diego Ruiz (El mozo) is mentioned in addition to his brother-in-law Andres de Chavez: 

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BN-2QL3-D?i=202  

The relevant writing says: "...Ytem un instrumento simple de Diego Ruiz el moso en que declara por el que por cuanto Andres de Chavez su cuñado vendio al padre Melchor Hernandes Duarte una estancia de ganado mayor digo menor en el valle de Guaniqueo en terminos de Puruandiro, lindes con estancia del Colegio y Tumbio y estancia que al presente es de Francisco Magdaleno en la rivera del Rio que baja a la puente de Guaniqueo en que aprueba la dicha escritura que hizo Andres de Chavez su cuñado en una foja."

Let's suppose that this Diego Ruiz (el mozo) is Diego Ruiz Cortez (Son of Diego Ruiz Cortez and Elvira Hernandez de Rangel). Diego Ruiz Cortez was married to Leonor de Chavez Corona as we know. If Andres de Chavez was the brother of Leonor de Chavez Corona, there's now two Chavez Corona siblings we know about. 

In the mid 1500s Morelia, there was a couple by the names of Andres de Chavez cc Leonor Alvarez. Andres de Chavez' will is available for viewing here: 

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKV-D9K1-K?cat=olib%3…

In it we find that Andres de Chavez was born in Ciudad Rodrigo (En los reinos de Castilla) and he married twice, first with Leonor Alvarez and then with Catalina de Mondragon. (Andres de Chavez and Catalina de Mondragon never had any children) Andres de Chavez and Leonor Alvarez had the following children:

Pedro de Chavez Corona (Born around 1560)

Leonor de Chavez Corona

Andres de Chavez Corona

Mariana Corona y Chavez

There are further clues scattered about in land disputes, grants, notarial documents, dispensas etc. that make me believe that Leonor Alvarez was most likely Leonor Alvarez Corona, daughter of Hernando Gonzalez Corona cc Catalina Gonzalez (Originarios de Guadalacanal) and some of the first Spanish settlers of Michoacan. I believe Leonor Alvarez Corona cc Andres de Chavez to be the source of the "Corona" in the Chavez Corona and thus the Ruiz de Chavez Corona. I don't think that there was ever a direct connection to the Villasenor family in this branch of the Gonzalez/Alvarez Coronas. If anything, there would have been a Villasenor connection via Leonor Alvarez Corona's sister Mayor Gomez Corona who married Gonzalo Gomez y Gomez. They had a daughter named Catalina Gomez Corona who married Juan de Villasenor Cervantes.

You're right all evidence suggests that the same Leonor de Chávez Corona who married Diego Ruiz de Cortés is the one who was a daughter of Andrés de Chávez & Leonor Álvarez Corona. It is then uncertain why some sources cite her as "Corona de Villaseñor" perhaps she had a very close relationship with her cousin Catalina and her spouse Juan de Villaseñor and that's why she adopted that last name? If that's so then it's weird to see her descendants many generations away use the "Villaseñor" if they had no relationship whatsoever.

Maybe Maria de Abrego (2°) was indeed in some way a Villaseñor and since there had been a confusion between her and her aunt Maria de Abrego (1°), her lineage was pretty much overlooked and researchers just assumed that since her mother-in-law Leonor had the Corona last name she was a Villaseñor Corona or alternatively Corona Villaseñor and that's where the Villaseñor had come from, mistakes such as these were very common, for example many relationships that Gabriel Ibarrola in his famous book "Familias y casas de la vieja Valladolid" claimed to be true have been proven to be completely false.

Comment

Hello Pascual,

I've looked at this family for a while. Like you said, I have never seen a Villasenor associated with Leonor de Chavez Corona cc Diego Ruiz Cortez. She's always mentioned as Leonor Corona/Leonor de Chavez Corona/Leonor de Chavez. We only start seeing the Villasenor appear in one branch of the Ruiz Cortez y Chavez Corona, that's of Andres Ruiz de Chavez cc Maria de Villasenor. There's an "informacion matrimonial" where a Maria de Villasenor is mentioned in relation to an Andres Ruiz de Chavez in 1657:

Mexico, Guanajuato, Catholic Church Records, 1519-1984; https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KLSQ-4W?cc=1860831

In here we see that Floriana Cortez de Villasenor is getting married to Fernando Carrillo Altamirano (Viudo de Tomasina de Lira y Zayas). One of the witnesses in this information is "Domingo Cortez". He mentions in his testimony that he's the brother of Andres Ruiz de Chavez. This Domingo is quite possible the same one who married in Mexico City in 1635: Mexico, Distrito Federal, Catholic Church Records, 1514-1970; https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939D-DX93-V?cc=1615259&wc=3P8Q-6TL%3A122652201%2C132529401. Domingo was the son of Diego Ruiz and Leonor de Chavez Corona. This implies that the Andres Ruiz de Chavez mentioned here is the son of Diego Ruiz Cortez and Leonor de Chavez Corona.

Now, there's another witness, "Juan de Villasenor" who mentions he's the brother of Floriana. He gives his age of 27 years old. So he was born around 1630. With this Juan de Villasenor, we now know that there's at least two children of Andres Ruiz de Chavez and Maria de Villasenor who carried the "Villasenor" surname.

Going back to Andres Ruiz de Chavez, we see his signature here in the same "informacion matrimonial": Mexico, Guanajuato, Catholic Church Records, 1519-1984; https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KLS3-LH?cc=1860831. Let's compare that signature to this one from a territorial dispute where there's an Andres Ruiz de Chavez:

Morelia. Voting Registers 1649

In my opinion, the signatures match. Furthermore, in this territorial dispute, it's mentioned that this Andres Ruiz de Chavez was the father of a Nicolas de Chavez Cortez and Maria de Abrego was the mother: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKV-D91X-F?view=fullText&keywords=Andr%C3%A9s+Ru%C3%ADz&lang=en&groupId=M9Z2-X66

So, given this information... I think that the Corona Villasenor comes from this branch/generation of the Ruiz de Chavez Corona. Andres Ruiz de Chavez married to Maria de Abrego (sometimes, the Castilleja was included as she descended from the family of the great Calzonci). So did Andres marry twice? (once to Maria de Abrego and then to Maria de Villasenor? Or are we dealing with one Maria - sometimes referred to as Abrego and other times as Villasenor?) I think that Maria de Abrego and Maria de Villasenor are the same person. Let me share some clues of why I think this:

  1. Andres Ruiz de Chavez and Maria de Abrego had a son named Jose Corona who was married to Juana de Sanabria. We happen to have his will where he states that he's the son of Andres Ruiz de Chavez and Maria de Abrego: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSD2-PH3M?i=534&cat=623294
  2. In an informacion matrimonial for a daughter of Jose Corona and Juana de Sanabria, her given name is: Maria de Villasenor: Mexico, Michoacán, Catholic Church Records, 1555-1996; https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KG9R-MW?cc=1883388&wc=3NTF-SP8%3A178285301%2C178658501%2C204006203
  3. In another informacion matrimonial for another daughter of Jose Corona and Juana de Sanabria, her given name is: Leonor Corona de Villasenor: Mexico, Guanajuato, Catholic Church Records, 1519-1984; https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-ZGSL-92?cc=1860831

This makes me think that we're dealing with a one and the same Maria de Abrego Castillieja... y... Villasenor. I don't have any information on her parents other than she was a descendant of the "Senores de Michoacan". 

I hope this helps. 

Daniel

 

 

 

Comment

Hi, indeed, Maria de Villaseñor and Maria de Abrego y Castilleja are the same person. I, some time ago, had contacted via Facebook a genealogist by the name of "José Ayala Solis" who wrote a book on this couple by the name of "Las tierras del Rey", where he explained their origins, who their children were, their connections, lands, etc, etc. Since he in his own words "Checked the entire church archives of San Miguel Tarimbaro". 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the book but when I was discussing with him about a previously unknown daughter of Leonor de Chávez and Diego Ruiz de Cortés (Leonor Ruiz de Chávez who died in 1680 at the supposed age of 100 who some users had thought was her mother) after explaining me who she was, he sent me an image, where the relationships and places where her and all of her siblings and nephews (children of Andrés) lived, there he textually mentioned that Andrés de Chávez and Maria de Abrego lived in the "Hacienda de Cotzio" in today's town of Téjaro in Tarimbaro from 1623 to 1676 (until Andrés death). He also mentioned in an extended family group i'm in, that Maria de Abrego had passed between 1671 and 1673 meaning that they had been married for 56-58 years giving Andrés no time to have remarried.

Here's the link to the image: https://www.familysearch.org/fr/tree/sources/viewedit/WD4S-TMQ?context&…;

In that image Andrés mother, Leonor de Chávez, is mentioned as Leonor de Chávez Corona meaning that at least the "Corona" did indeed come from her. Other sources do mention her as Corona de Villaseñor, including a wikitree profile by Ruben Hernández who almost always relied exclusively on direct contemporary records but unfortunately I can't access wikitree and thus can't give the link because I had been checking the website without making an account and apparently they thought my ip address was that of a bot and I have been blocked from accessing the platform...

On Maria's origins she was a granddaughter of Beatriz de Castilleja and her second husband Pedro de Garfias, who her parents were is unclear, she is usually confused with her aunt who was also named Maria de Abrego y Castilleja who was born in c.1555 since she reported being 52 in 1607 making it impossible for both to be the same person and it has already been debunked. 

Martin Navarro de Gabay

We discovered my dad has some Basque DNA through a DNA test.  I was able to research his family line to Martin Navarro de Gabay who was from Pamplona, Navarre, Spain, which I believe is Basque country. I know he married Petronilla de Moctezuma, but not much else.  Why did he travel to New Spain? What did he do in Mexico once he settled there. Where did he settle? How did he hook up with Petronilla?  I know we may never know the answers to all these questions, but if anyone has any information about him, I would be most interested.  Thank you.

Dear Victoria,

Discovering a connection to the Navarro de Gabadi and Moctezuma lineage is a remarkable piece of family history.

Because this volume is a highly specialized, primary-source reference work containing newly published archival discoveries, verified nobility proofs, and critical surname corrections, it is issued in its original research language.

However, we are preparing specialized English narrative editions detailing prominent New Spain families for our international audience. I wish you the very best in uncovering your family’s legacy.

Diego Romo de Vivar

Good day.

I would like to share a summary of the findings Jorge Barba Gómez and I addressed recently regarding Captain Diego Romo de Vivar (see Facebook).

In 2024, we discovered that the parentage attributed to Captain Diego Romo de Vivar for decades was incorrect. A baptismal record from Rielves, dated March 12, 1589, had been erroneously linked to him due to a paleographic error. That record actually identifies a Diego, son of Diego Alonso (written as "Diego Aº") and Catalina Pérez, not Diego Romo. This distinction is further confirmed by the file INQUISICION,1222,Exp.12.

Our latest research confirms that the Captain, while a resident of San Felipe, Guanajuato, the home of his wife’s family, the Rangel Peguero, had a brother named Alonso de la Fuente in 1630 (see Siglo XVIII Asuntos Varios: Morelia. Registros varios 1630). We have verified that he was indeed his brother, not his brother-in-law.

Furthermore, researcher Manny Diez shared a finding indicating that an Alonso de la Fuente

There are two “Diego Romo” that are first cousins that worked for  their uncle Francisco del Rincon. One of the Diego Romos is the son of Antonio Romo and Ana Arellano and is known as Diego Romo de Arellano.  The second Diego Romo is known as Diego Romo de Vivar.  The lengthier surnames were needed to distinguish between them as they both worked for their uncle when they first came over from Spain. 

We have a record of a Diego Romo that came over from Spain that is identified as the son of Juan Romo and Ana Diaz.  This Diego came over with his brother Luis Romo. I believe that Juan Romo is the brother of Antonio Romo and Francisca del Rincon.  In a lawsuit that I found, Juan Romo is involved in  a lawsuit with another family member over property located where Diego Romo de Vivar and his brother Alonso de la Fuente resided before leaving Spain.  Francisco del Rincon de Vivar, Antonio Romo, and Juan Romo were sons of Juan Luis del Rincon and Maria Romo.  The de Vivar comes from Maria Romo.  Ana Diaz may also have the De Vivar surname in her ancestry as many family members in that area commonly used  both Diaz and Diaz de Vivar.  



The parents of Juan Luis del Rincon are Juan de Fuentes and Ynes del Rincon. This means that the paternal grandparents of Francisco del Rincon, Antonio Romo, and Juan Romo are Juan de Fuentes and Ynes del Rincon. Juan de Fuentes was also known as Juan Rico Romo before he took the surname “de Fuentes” from the “villa de la Fuente” that he resided at. That is where Diego Romo de Vivar’s brother, Alonso de la Fuente, gets his surname from. 

Going back to Juan Romo, son of Juan Luis del Rincon, grandson of Juan Fuentes, brings us back to how common the name “Juan” is in this family.  Juan de Fuentes (aka Juan Rico y Romo) is the grandson on his father’s side of Juan Martin Rico, and on his mother’s side, grandson of another Juan Romo.


I have pieces of a puzzle that when placed together point to Diego Romo de Vivar being the same Diego Romo that is the son of Juan Romo and Ana Diaz. The given is that Diego Romo de Vivar is a son of a sibling of Francisco del Rincon and Antonio Romo. 

Juan Romo is the only other sibling known by me at this moment,  If Juan Romo is the only other sibling then he has to be the father of Diego Romo de Vivar.  If Diego Romo, son of Juan Romo and Ana Diaz, is the same person as Diego Romo de Vivar, then he has at least two brothers that came over from Spain to what we now know as Mexico. If we find any more documents with those two brothers, Alonso de la Fuente, and Luis Romo, we may be able to find iron clad evidence of who their parents are.

I am still looking for more pieces of the puzzle to confirm this analysis, and it may be premature to post this conclusion, but I am hoping others join in the research to prove or disprove the hypothesis that Diego Romo de Vivar is the same person as Diego Romo, son of Juan Romo.

Diego Romo de Vivar is identified as a first cousin to Diego Romo de Arellano and that their uncle is Francisco Rincon Romo.  Through other documents we have identified Francisco del Rincon Romo as the son of Juan Luis del Rincon and Maria Romo.  These documents also reveal the parents, grandparents and great grandparents of Jose Luis del Rincon.I have the documents verifying this information.   

”En su testamento, Diego Romo de Arellano afirmó que "cuando vino de los Reinos de Castilla, entró sirviendo a Francisco Rincón, su tío", a quien sirvió “por quince o dieciséis años” y “que pasó y socorrió a su primo Diego Romo de Vivar”, a quien “le prestó un negro que Diego Romo de Vivar vendió a Hernando de Bustillos" (el Capitán Hernando de Bustillos era, en 1634, el dueño de la Hacienda de Canutillo, en la jurisdicción del Real del Parral). El testamento de Diego Romo de Arellano fue otorgado en Tlaltenango el 26 de octubre de 1667, habiendo sido testigos de su otorgamiento los Padres Predicadores Fray Diego Illanes y Fray Pedro Gómez, Vicario. En una actuación realizada el 30 de octubre de 1620, y atestiguando sobre la soltería de Diego Chavero, Diego Romo de Arellano manifestó ser a la sazón vecino de Alfajayuca, provincia de Jilotepec, en el actual estado de Méjico, tratante en ganado cabrío y de yeguas.”

Hello Erik and Manny,

I went back and reread your statement that:

                   “Diego Pérez (husband of Inés Gómez) was the brother of Juan de Fuentes, who married Inés del Rincón.”. 

 I did not have that information. Another tangle in this family web.  

Thanks again Erik for your excellent work,

and thank you Manny for finding the information that Alonso de Fuentes is a brother of Capitan Diego Romo de Vivar.   It drove me to do more research which added many puzzle pieces.

We can take this to mean that Diego Romo de Vivar descends from Juan Luis Rincon and Maria Romo de Vivar.  They are his grandparents.    That is a fact given the documents that we have on hand at this moment. They clearly provide the pieces to state this lineage.  What is lacking is one step in the lineage as we don’t know the identity of the parents of Diego, only that one of them is a child of Juan Luis del Rincon and Maria Romo.  
 

There are many marriages among the family, first, second, and third cousins marrying. What limits the possibilities is that we know who his grandparents are, and who his brother is, Alonso Fuentes (del Fuentes)


=======================================================================

===================================================================

Additional clues to research to help find the parents of Diego Romo de Vivar:

1)- Alonso Diaz and Maria Romo are the parents of

2)- Juan Romo who married Maria Diaz (daughter of Juan Alonso El Viejo and Ana Diaz).

3)- Pedro Romo who traveled to new Spain in 1594

 
https://pares.mcu.es/ParesBusquedas20/catalogo/show/134529?nm

Here is a record of a Diego Romo crossing the Atlantic Ocean as a criado of his brother Luis Romo Diaz (Daza).   Diego and Luis are the sons of Juan Romo y Ana Díaz de Agüero.  

This Diego Romo could be the same person as Diego Romo de Vivar.

I don’t know if ther parents of Pedro Romo (Juan Romo and Maria Diaz) are the same people as  Juan Romo and Ana Diaz de Aguero who are the parents of Diego Romo and Luis Romo.

There is still a lot more research, reading of documents, to find out exactly how Diego Romo de Vivar is a nephew of Pedro Rincon y Ortega.

Saludos Eric,

After researching the subject, I discovered that you were correct in your original statement that Diego Romo de Vivar and Alonso Fuentes are brothers.  After reading documents that identify Juan Luis Ricon’s brother’s genealogical tree I am convinced, and I no longer doubt that they are brothers. 

Juan Fuentes had a first marriage prior to his marriage to Ynes del Rincon

Thanks again for all your work Erik,

Here is a record of a Diego Romo crossing the Atlantic Ocean as a criado of his brother Luis Romo Diaz (Daza).   Diego and Luis are the sons of Juan Romo y Ana Díaz de Agüero.

What is interesting about the next line is tha JUan Romo’s father is not surnamed Romo, his mother is the Romo:

On more than one occasion I have found someone surnamed Diaz to later find them with the longer surname Diaz de Vivar.


Alonso Diaz and Maria Romo are the parents of

Juan Romo who married Maria Diaz (daughter of Juan Alonso El Viejo and Ana Diaz).

They are the parents of Pedro Romo who traveled to new Spain in 1594

the area where Pedro Romo is from is part of Rielves , Toledo
 https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/memories/2MS7-VRX

Pedro is most likely a cousin of Diego Romo and Luis Romo.

Saludos Erik,

Hello Erik,

I applaud your focus on the De Vivar (de Bibar) family as most other searches have focused primarily on the Romo surname.  And most searches have focused on the name Diego Romo, as the name Diego is repeated often in each family in Spain, and the name Diego Romo de Vivar is repeated in Nueva Galicia. But the name Pedro is also repeatedly found in Spain and Nueva Galicia, which leads me to the following question:

Can you add any information on Pedro de Bibar (de Vivar) and his wife Catalina Romo (daughter of Pedro de Vivar is from Fuensalida that are mentioned in the document you provided?  Is this Pedro de Vivar and Catalina Romo  the same couple that you mentioned earlier. 

Pedro Rincon de Ortega is named as Diego Romo de Vivar’s uncle.   It is most likely that Pedro is a “tio abuelo” as Pedro’s parents are Francisco Rincon de Vivar y Romo and Maria de La Vega. Pedro Rincon’s paternal grandparents are Luis Rincon and Maria Romo. I believe that this Maria Romo the aunt of  Catalina Romo. This is just a guess based on the information on hand.   Catalina Romo is named as a niece of “Maria Romo” and her mother a sister of Maria Romo    I believe that it is possible that Catalina’s father name is de Fuente which would could explain Diego having a brother with the surname de Fuente. Do you have the name of Alonso de La Fuente’s wife to see if they are brothers-in-laws?


This is just an exercise showing how the parts of the puzzle show Pedro Rincon de Ortega as a great uncle of Diego Romo de Vivar:

Pedro Romo cc Maria Gomez (De Vivar) parents of (1a) Maria Romo and (2a) Pedro Romo

1a)-Maria Romo cc Luis Rincon2a)-(same as 1a)
1b)- Francisco Rincon de Vivar   cc Maria de Ortega2b)- Hermana de Francisco Rincon Vivar y Romo cc Señor con El apellido (de La Fuente. )

In many cases where someone is illegitimate someone in the family tries to hide that fact and makes up a different family connection. Many years ago I shared the following information based on a primary source, a will, that clearly identifies  Pero (Pedro) Gonzalez de Alcocer is his father. Fernando Diaz de Alcocer is the grandfather to Jurado “Diego Diaz de Alcocer”.

 No hay dos Jurado Diego de Alcocers, pero si hay dos Diego de Alcocer. Fernando de Alcocer si tuvo un hijo Diego de Alcocer que murio joven. El padre de Jurado Diego de Alcocer es el Doctor Pero (Pedro) Gonzalez de Alcocer.

I find Diego de Alcocer listed as a son to Fernan Diaz de Alcocer as passing away at a young age, way too young to have left descendants.


Later on when the family all of Fernan’s children are recorded in a document you don’t find Diego’s name there because he had already passed away.    The other Diego Alcocer is from an illegitimate relationship that his son the priest had.

The source where I had picked up my information is Juan de la Barreda y Acedo-Rico in his book Viejas Familias de Alcalá de Henares. My other source was Laura Balletto's citation of the will stating that Diego is Pedro Gonzalez de Alcocer’s son and therefore Fernando de Alcocer’s grandchild. According to a will, Pedro Gonzalez de Alcocer is his father.

Pedro Gonzalez De Alcocer was a priest (Doctor Pedro González de Alcocer, canónigo de la Iglesia Catedral de Sevilla). In this scenario Diego is illegitimate. Real estate deals involve the buyer checking for legal ownership of the seller. Real estate transactions must be written, as oral real estate transactions are not enforceable. Laura Balleto’s citation of the Will shows that chain of ownership from the previous owner, Diego, and how he had acquired it, through an inheritance from his Father Pedro Gonzalez De Alcocer who stated in his will that he was leaving it to his son Jurado Diego Alcocer, Our ancestor Diego.

I uploaded the dossier here: Diego Pérez de Vivar | Nuestros Ranchos Site

Images 8 and 9 contain a list of relatives. 

8, at the bottom says: "Tía hermana de su padre de Diego Pérez que murió en Indias es Catalina Pérez, casó con Diego Alonso Fernández, familiar en Rielves..."

9, continues: "...hijo de los dichos de Diego Alonso y Catalina Pérez, Diego Alonso Fernández, familiar en Rielves y de Madrid donde está casado". 

Consequently, the existence of Diego Romo de Vivar Pérez is disproven by these records also. The individual in question is actually Diego Alonso Pérez (Fernández), who served as a Familiar del Santo Oficio like his father and was established and married in Madrid.

Best regards,

Erik

Comment

Thanks again Erik as your last post proves without a doubt that the two Diego’s aren’t the same person.  I did not have that information regarding the Diego being part of the inquisition and that he continued to live in Madrid so I mistakenly thought that maybe it was still possibly our Diego Romo de Vivar.  This hammers the nails into the coffin to that idea.

Dear Rick and Austin,

It is a pleasure to reconnect. I am pleased that this has sparked further research, and I hope it leads to new findings.

Regarding the ancestry of Diego Romo de Vivar: we can no longer identify him as the son of Diego Romo and Catalina Pérez. The 1587 baptismal record previously attributed to him actually belongs to Diego Alonso Pérez, son of Diego Alonso (Fernández) and Catalina Pérez (daughter of Diego Pérez and Inés Gómez). Previous researchers mistook Aº (Alonso) for Rº (Romo).

I have developed an extensive family tree that incorporates the ejecutorias de hidalguía of the Vivar family, who were Mozárabes from Toledo, tracing back to the progenitors Rodrigo de Vivar and Juana Gómez de Alarcón. We must proceed carefully; the Romo family relations are exceptionally complex and frequently intersect with the aforementioned lineages. For instance, Diego Pérez (husband of Inés Gómez) was the brother of Juan de Fuentes, who married Inés del Rincón. As you noted Rick, and I fully agree, Inés was the daughter of Pedro Hernández del Rincón and Isabel Fernández.

As Rick pointed out, both brothers are the offspring of Pedro Rico and María Romo. Pedro Rico was the son of Juan Martín Rico and Marina Gómez (sister of the escudero Juan Gómez). Pedro's sister, Catalina Alonso, was married to Pablo Romo.

María Romo was the daughter of Juan Romo and an unidentified spouse (NN). Juan Romo was the brother of Diego, Alonso, and Pedro Fernández Romo. Witnesses mention these siblings were the first to arrive in Rielves, though their place of origin according to them remains unconfirmed.

Interestingly, Pedro Fernández Romo was the father of Catalina Hernández (also known as Franzesa), who married Pedro de Vivar, a resident of Fuensalida. Pedro de Vivar was the son of Diego de Vivar (a resident of Portillo de Toledo, hidalgo, and descendant of Mozárabes) and Marina Melgarejo. 

Another son of Pedro de Vivar Melgarejo and Catalina Hernández (Romo) was Diego de Vivar Melgarejo. He resided in Griñón (Madrid) before traveling to New Spain, where he eventually died (Sala de Hijodalgo, Caja 1450.0002). This is the same Diego de Vivar Melgarejo located in the Philippines as regidor who, according to the García Carraffa brothers, was a founder of Santa María de los Lagos and one of the earliest residents of Aguascalientes.

Regarding the potential connection between Alonso de la Fuente and Diego Romo de Vivar, whether as biological brothers or through another relation, I remain open-minded. However, I believe we cannot, and must not, exclude the broader intersections of the Fuente, Romo, and Vivar families from the equation. This includes the link to Captain Diego de la Fuente Rincón, as the Rincón de Ortega family were uncles to the Romo de Vivar branch. This connection may exist via the Romo line or through the Rincón lineage as well, which may prove to be a direct part of Diego Romo de Vivar’s true ancestry.

Best regards,

Erik

P.S. I will attach also to Nuestros Ranchos the dossier as Familiar del Santo Oficio of Diego Pérez de Vivar in case it proves to be useful. 

Comment

Thank you very much Erik for your research into the Romo family.  It is with great pleasure that I read your notes on your research as it coincides with my research into the Romo family. No contradictions from my research at all.   The only question that was not in my notes at all was the possible family connection Alonso de La Fuente and Diego Romo.

  I would like to point out that a Diego Alonso was a neighbor in conflict with Diego el Romo so maybe researching the conflict between them may possibly disclose a family connection between them.  Or at least identify exactly where they lived. You can find the document in PARES.

And don’t forget to keep an eye out for Pedro el Romo Velasco as he came over in 1585 and I have a feeling that he is also part of the family tree.  


Thanks again for your research into my Romo family.

Comment

Saludos Erik,

When you brought up the issue of saying that you have confirmed brother and not brother in law I immediately thought of a book that I am writing on a famous person whose ancestry has been up for debate for centuries.  

While looking for my ancestors I came across the true ancestry and began researching and writing about his family over 20 years ago.  I had over 200 pages written when someone else wrote a book with a different twist than my ancestry for him.   I was dumbfounded and wondered how all of my research showed a certain ancestry while this other book showed a different ancestry for his mother.  I did even more research and my research confirmed my findings while this other author put out another book where he doubled down on his findings.  And his findings hung on the word “brother”.  It wasn’t until Steven Francisco Hernandez Lopez, a genealogist that I greatly admire, made a mistake in putting a family tree together because a brother in law had been called brother, but more research proved that he in fact was a brother in law. A light bulb went off in my head and that is when I figured out why the other author had put together a different family tree. the other author had made the same error.  That person that he mistakenly had as the mother was the mother of his brother in law, the husband of his sister.   So my research on this figure was confirmed by further research, but it took time and more work to clear up the discrepancy.

So when you say that it is confirmed that he is a brother and not a brother in law, I feel the urge to go back and research the tree some more. I feel that it is possible that Alonso de la Fuente may be the husband of Diego Romo’s sister. 

or Alonso de La Fuente is a half brother to Diego Romo de Vivar Perez.   There is a “Alonso de La Fuente” baptized in Santa María Magdalena, Castrillo-Tejeriego, Valladolid, Castilla y León, España on 28/Oct/1581; son of Alonso de La Fuente and Maria Perez.
Thanks again,

Rick A. Ricci

Thanks for sharing Erik the clarification regarding that baptismal record of Diego.


Diego Romo and Juan Romo are brothers.


Juan Romo is the father of Maria Romo that married Pedro Rico.  (Pedro Rico is the son of Juan Martin Rico and Marina Gomez).

Pedro Rico and Maria Romo are the parents of Juan De Fuentes who married Ynes Fernandez daughter of Isabel Fernandez (Hernandez) and  Pedro Hernandez del Rincon

Juan de Fuentes and Ines del Rincon are the parents of Rafael Rincon 

Going back to Juan Romo’s brother Diego Romo we know that this Diego Romo was also referred to as Diego Romo el Viejo as there was a long string of “Diego Romo”s in the family.  

Diego Romo el Viejo’s son Diego Romo was also known as el moço


Diego Alonso Romo had more children.  In this post I am only identifying two of his sons, Diego Romo el Viejo and Juan Romo. Another son  of Diego Alonso Romo’s also has descent in what is now Los Altos de Jalisco. The reason for only identifying two lines right now is to confirm what Erik Andres Reynoso Marquez stated: that the Romo, Rincon, and Fuentes lines were interconnected.

Here are the names in a table:

2a) Juan Romo.                                                         1a) Diego Romo el Viejo.                                 
2b) Maria Romo + Pedro Rico (son of Juan Martin Rico and Marina Gomez)1b) Diego Romo el moço
2C) Juan Fuentes + Ynes  del Rincon
.                                                                     
2d) Rafael del Rincon 
 


One of the Diego Romos in the family line was also referred to as “Diego el Romo” and you can find in “PARES” a document where he is accused by the inquisition of saying some “inappropriate words”.   There are a few other documents in PARES that discuss Diego el Romo.  One of them is about him and his neighbor who coincidently is named Diego Alonso.


Diego el Romo, hijo de Diego García el Romo y de Isabel Álvarez.  They are from the Toledo area. 

Viaje a las India’s : Diego el Romo, hijo de Diego García el Romo y de Isabel Álvarez, vecinos de Illescas; y Julián de Illescas, [hijo] de Diego de Illescas y de Inés Álvarez, vecinos de Illescas.  This illescas is in the Toledo area just like Rielves and Fuensalida.


The quote “inappropriate words” is mine and I use it here to not go into detail here about the accusations against him.
 

The Romo research has an important audience in my immediate family as my mothers maiden name is Romo, and the many Romo cousins in my family tree are very close and keep in touch daily through a WhatsApp chat that connects the family members from all over the world   Some are in Milan Italy, a nephew in France, cousins in Toronto Canada, many cousins in Houston, Texas;  Los Angeles, California, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Jalisco; Alaska, Seattle Washington, Bend Oregon, Tepatitlan, Jalisco, and Jalostotitlan Jalisco, and Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco, and my Tia Tere Romo Barba in Germany with her husband and daughter. They constantly bombard me with questions regarding the Romo line.

Thanks again Erik for sharing your research, I am on the lookout for your next book. 

Rick A. Ricci

P.S.  while researching the Romo line, be on the lookout for the name “Pedro el Romo de Velasco”. This Pedro El Romo de Velasco came over in 1585

Like others commenting on this thread, we are descended from Basilio de Valdés y Inés Péres de Robalcaba, also, through son, Luis (m. Ana López de Lara) and grandson, Basilio (m. Manuela Gómez alias Manuela Maravillas).

Two quick comments:

  • For the elder Basilio's parents: has anyone looked into Basilio de Valdés of Teocaltiche, who married Catalina Mejía de Anda Altamirano?
  • And while I know records state that Manuela Gómez's parents are unknown, is it coincidental that at least one (and maybe two) descendants of Pedro Gomez de Portugal and Isabel Ortiz de Anda also used the surname "Maravilla" upon occasion. Manuela Gómez is alternatively described in records as castiza, Española and coyote similarly to how many descendants of Pedro Gomez de Portugal and Isabel Ortiz de Anda are also described.

Thank you,

Travis

Can you provide us with the URL address of the image of the marriage entry
in question? The URL is in the address bar at the top of the browser and is
unique to that image. Seeing the entry will allow someone here to transcribe
it.

Unfortunately there is no URL I got the information from film that I ordered and viewed at the LDS church, and the image was very bad so it did not print well. I transcribed what I could and took a picture of the computer screen. I will try and upload those images but they are not very clear either. I just thought someone might have an idea, or be familiar with these terms/abbreviations.

Thanks,

The film # is 1155497. I have posted a picture of the image in a file folder attachment as well, although it is not very clear it is the best I could do.

I found the image online at
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18564-56480-10?cc=1874591&wc…

The portion you are asking about says: "...para el matrimonio que
contrajeron Santos Cervantes español originario y vecino de esta
feligresía...."

We are related through the paternal grandmother of Santos de Avalos/Dávalos
and maybe through some of your other ancestors. I haven't been able to find
the grandparents of Bacilio Valadez González de Rubalcava the maternal
grandfather of Santos.

This is to correct an error -

I meant "We are related through the paternal grandmother of Santos through
de Avalos/Dávalos..."

Armando,

WOW, Thanks so much for your help!

How is it that you found that image on-line, and why is it that I had to order the film? When I looked it up, it specified "image not available on-line" what am I doing wrong? I am sorry to bombard you with questions, but what a lead you have given me! I don't have the information past (Jose de los) Santos Cervantes and you have info on his grandmother...its amazing, exciting, and wonderful. Please tell me more, or tell me where I can view your ancestry.

Thanks again so much, really appreciate it.

Hello Monica,

This should answer questions from various messages you have posted.

In this case when it specifies image not available online it just meant they
haven't linked the search result to the page of the image. In order to find
out if the image is actually online or not you need to look up the name of
the film from the film number at
https://www.familysearch.org/#form=catalog&catSearchType=film_number
This will give you a list of all film numbers for the same parish. Look for
your film number in that list which will give you your film name. That film
name will be found in the list of films online under the parish. I have an
index of film numbers, film names, and dates found in them at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtTSEvZUKl0ldDNURlNCWnFnQy…
The index can help find within which pages the image should exist although
at times they records can be a few pages later.

When the film number isn't listed just assume it is in the film that has
corresponding dates. Such as Ana Getrudis Valdés Gómez baptized 18 December
1744 is in the film Bautismos 1738-1745. This won't always work but it does
most of the time after 1700. I see now where Jonathan's post makes sense for
the ones that aren't easily found.

I found that I had a mistake with the maternal grandfather this error on
Saturday but I didn't have time to post. You'll see the correction to the
mistake below.

Santos parents Visente Ferrer Cervantes de Ávalos and Ana Getrudis Valdés
Gómez married 10 November 1761
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18560-26075-18?cc=1874591&wc…

Visente Ferrer Cervantes de Ávalos was baptized 10 November 1725 in Lagos de
Moreno. He was from the [Hacienda] La Laja (This is the hacienda where my
Cervantes ancestors were from)
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18568-44779-99?cc=1874591&wc…

Vicente's parents were Pedro Joseph Cervantes and Getrudis de Abalos who
married 14 October 1721 in Lagos
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18571-4935-49?cc=1874591&wc=…

Getrudis de Abalos was baptized 31 July 1700 in Lagos
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18573-58200-15?cc=1874591&wc…

Getrudis parents were Antonio de Abalos and Juana Ayala y Guzmán who married
19 May 1694 in Lagos
I descend from this couple through their son José Antonio born
16 November 1705 married 7 January 1732 to María Josefa de Cervantes Avila

Santos mother was Ana Getrudis Valdés Gómez baptized 18 December 1744
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18563-29081-47?cc=1874591&wc…

Her parents were Bacilio Valdés and Maria Manuela Gómez married 20 August
1730
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18571-2506-14?cc=1874591&wc=…

Bacilio Valdés López was baptized 9 February 1710
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18573-12922-52?cc=1874591&wc…

His parents were Luis López Valdés and Ana López de Lara

I don't have more than that. Hopefully someone here can help with anything I
have missing.

I put all of this info on my geneanet page at
http://gw0.geneanet.org/arman212?b=arman212&lang=es&&ocz=0&p=santos&n=c…

Since Santos and María del Rosario Madaleno Guzman had a dispensa de cuarto
grado we might be able to find more ancestors if that dispensa can be found.
They are probably related through Guzman. If you want to search for it try
the matrimonios del Diócesis de Guadalajara around the year of their
marriage at
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18560-26075-18?cc=1874591&wc…

Estimado Armando,

Me interesa este tema sobre los Valdés en Santa María de los Lagos. Desciendo de unos Valdés pero no sé existe un vínculo con los que mencionastes López Valdés. Los míos tengo lo siguiente:

· D. Juan Basilio de Valdés casó Da. María de Aguilar ca. 1715 en Lagos
· D. Joseph de Valdés y Aguilar nació hacia 1718 en Lagos y falleció el 12 de julio de 1783 en Aguascalientes casó Da. Águeda de Salas y Bonilla hacia 1740 en Lagos.
· D. José Gregorio de Valdés y Aguilar bautizado el 18 de marzo de 1759 en Aguascalientes casó Da. María Josefa Jacoba Alonso de los Hinojos el 25 de junio de 1788 en Aguascalientes.
· Da. María Marcelina de Valdés y Aguilar nació el 2 de junio de 1796 en Aguascalientes casó a D. Joseph Antonio Martínez de Sotomayor el 26 de mayo de 1826 en Aguascalientes.
· Da. María de los Dolores Martínez de Sotomayor nació hacia 1829 en Aguascalientes casó al Lic. D. Eugenio de Camino, (mi cuarto bisabuelo por dos líneas) el 11 de julio de 1849 en Calvillo.

Los que mencionas son López Valdés pero los míos son Valdes y Aguilar quienes pasaron de Santa María de los Lagos a la ciudad de Aguascalientes donde pronto los descendientes enlazaron con miembros de la élite local: Ruiz de Esparza, Loera, Alonso de los Hinojos, Martínez de Sotomayor, Camino.

Aver si puedes ayudarme o guiarme en una manera. Me interesa estos Valdés y la familia Salas y Bonilla, y Aguilar.

Un saludo amigo,

Daniel Mendez-Camino

Comment

Estimado Daniel,

Si han de ser parientes. Explicaré como llegué a deducir eso.

Parece que Joseph de Valdés y Aguilar fue bautizado como Joseph Mateo el 19
Oct 1712 nacido en La Mololoa que parece que parece que también era conocido
como Rio de Santa María por los bautismos de otros Valdés y Aguilar y Valdés
Gómez aparte de otras familias que en alguna ocasiones los hijos habían
nacidos en uno u otro de estos dos lugares. Tengo planeado hablar, un día de
estos, a un señor de Lagos amigo de un tío, e hijo de un compadre de mi
abuelo, que según esta escribiendo un libro sobre los ranchos de Lagos, para
verificar esto. En la página
http://www.historiasyrecuerdosdeencarnaciondediaz.com/Sauces.html se
encuentra lo siguiente:

*El análisis de las primeras mercedes o repartos de tierra a los
conquistadores y los registros sacramentales que se resguardan en las
antiguas Notarias Parroquiales de la Región, nos permiten afirmar que por un
determinado tiempo el Rio de la Mololoa, llamado por los Españoles "Rio de
Santa María", y parte de la Sierra del Tequán, sirvieron como uno de los
límites naturales, primero entre la parroquia de Teocaltiche erigida en
1550, de indios Caxcanes y la parroquia de Jalostotitlán, segregada en 1572
para atender a los indios
Tecuexes;[2]luego
entre la parroquia de Jalostotitlán y la parroquia de la Villa
Española de Santa María de los Lagos, para servir en el siglo XVIII de
límite entre las recién creadas parroquias de San Juan en 1769 y la de
Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación en 1778.
*
En algunos registros bautismales de los hermanos de Joseph Mateo la madre
aparece como María de Regla y en el de Catarina como Maria Regla de Aguilar.
En el registro bautismal de Antonio su padre aparece como Juan Lopes Baldes.
Entonces Juan ha de haber sido hermano de Luis López Valdés cuyos hijos
también eran de La Mololoa en fechas cercanas. Deberías ver todos los
bautismos para ver si puedes encontrar algo mas.

Por las fechas existe la posibilidad que tu ancestro D. Juan Basilio fue
hijo de Bacilio Valdés e Inés González de Rubalcava bautizado el 20 de
febrero 1698. Inés fue bautizada en Lagos el 4 de marzo 1661 hija de
Sebastián Pérez de Ornelas y Leonor González de Ruvalcaba y Franco de
Paredes.

Un saludo amigo
Armando

I am not sure if its the same Bacilio Balades/Baldes. But the info I have is as follows:

Jose de los Santos Cervantes son of
Ana Gertrudis Balades/Baldes (& Vicente Cervantes married 1761) daughter of
Bacilio Balades (& Maria Manuela Gomes married 8/20/1730 Sta Ma. de los Lagos Moreno) son of Luis Baldes & Ana Lopes.

I hope this is info relevant to your search. If we are related please tell me ho so I can incorporate any info I am missing

Thanks!

Hello Peredo,

All very good information and thank you for sharing! Would you happen to have a FS link to the baptism for Guadalupe, daughter of Guillermo Plancarte and Ana Hernandez? I've also been researching the Plancartes/Blancartes for quite a few years. I only have the baptism for their daughter Isabel. One other question, how do you know that this same Guadalupe was the wife of Alvaro Yanez Garcia? I have yet to find out the name of the wife of Alvaro Yanez Garcia. All the records I've seen, in the Tierras, the archives of "Casa de Morelos", etc. never mention his wife's name.

Thank You,


Daniel Serna Valencia

My wife descends from Nicolas de Murguia,(Munguia) Sr. and Ana de Liebana (m.Tangantzicuaro on 24 Jan 1660)

Nicolas de Murguia, Sr. and Ana de Liebana are the parents of Josepha de Liebana y Munguia who married Clemente Hernandez Gamino

Clemente Hernandez Gamino and Josepha Liebana Munguia are the parents of Miguel Hernandez Gamino who married Maria Manuel Maciel y Valdez

Miguel Hernandez Gamino and Maria Manuel Maciel y Valdez are the parents of Juan Ygnacio Hernandez Gamino who married Juana Catarina Magaña.

Juan Ygnacio Hernandez Gamino and Juana Catarina Magaña are the parents of AgustinHernandez Gamino who married Maria Josefa Llamas.

These are IMs for children of Alvaro Maciel and Ysabel de Orozco:

IM of Geronimo Rodriguez Morfin cc Ysabel de Orozco. Of interest: Alvaro Maciel is referred to as “Alvaro Yañez Maciel.”
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KLSM-68?mode=g&i=25&wc=3NT…

IM Alvaro Maciel cc Maria de Peña y Betancurt

IM Francisco Gomez de Lara cc Juana de Liebana
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-5JSY-ZN?mode=g&i=693&wc=3N…

This is the 24 Jan 1660 IM for Nicolas Murguia cc Ana de Liebana, daughter of Juan Asencio de Leon cc Geronima de Liebana. Unfortunately, it does not name his parents:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KG9H-5F?mode=g&i=618&wc=3N…

I also have IMs for several children of Gregorio Bejar cc Maria de Liebana, which I can post, if anyone needs. By the way, he is testigo on the 1647 IM for Geronimo Rodriguez Morfin cc Ysabel de Orozco, and gave his age as about 50, so he was born around 1597.

Saludos!

Comment

That she is daughter of Juan Asencio de Leon cc Geronima de Liebana is established when her son, Gregorio de Bajar, was testigo on the IM of Juana de Liebana, daughter of Alvaro Maciel cc Ysabel de Orozco, on which he identifies Juana as his cousin, and Alvaro Maciel as his uncle.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-5JSY-ZN?mode=g&i=693&wc=3N…

Gregorio de Bejar (El Viejo) also identified himself as an uncle of Ysabel de Orozco, when a testigo on her IM.

En mis líneas tengo a Marcos Joseph González de Murguía cc María Ana Macias Valades. Se casaron el 1 jun 1721, Asunción de María, Ags. Su IM está perdida, así que no tengo la ascendencia de él. Ella es hija de Joseph Macias de Ayala y su segunda esposa, María Alvarez (Magdaleno).

Eran dueños de Saus de Santa Ynés en Aguascalientes, que ella podría haber heredado, ya que es una antigua propiedad de los Macias. Después de su muerte, Santa Ynes fue dividido entre sus 7 hijos.

Dos de sus hijos usaban "González Murguía" como apellido compuesto, aunque es posible que son los apellidos de los padres de Marcos Joseph.

Gracias y saludos!

Hola a todos:

Hace tiempo, buscando ciertos apellidos flamencos leí algo sobre el apellido Plancarte, no lo anoté porque no está entre los apellidos que investigo, por lo tanto no creo tener la fuente.

Según recuerdo el apellido procede de Flandes como Plankart, era el apellido de un asesor del rey Carlos I de España y V de Alemania. Dicho asesor pasó a España en donde el apellido tomó la forma de Plancarte.

Hola otra vez:

Hay una investigación sobre familias sefarditas en Cotija, Michoacán, se puede leer en:
www.cambiodemichoacan.com.mx/nota-218964

En éste caso aparece en la lista la familia Maciel. Según recuerdo el apellido Palomino es también de origen judío y se relaciona con la descendencia en la Nueva España de los Flores de la Caballería.

Hola a todos:

Al abrir este debate les comenté que sospechaba que los padres de Nicolás de Murguía pudieran ser Hernando de Munguía e Isabel de Velasco, de Tamazula de Gordiano.

Ésta hipótesis queda confirmada. Di con un Diccionario Biográfico Vasco que se puede consultar en línea, en el que se recopilaron las informaciones de méritos y servicios diversos emigrantes de apellido vasco a todos los virreinatos.

El Número 1208 se refiere Hernando de Murguía hijo de Fernando de Murguía e Isabel de Velasco que vino a ser Juez Eclesiástico de Tinguindin, Michoacan y vecino de Zapotlán.

Por lo tanto la familia utilizó ambas ortografías y es muy probable que Nicolás haya sido hermano de Hernando II.

Ésta información no la pude localizar en el portal Pares, pero los que elaboraron el Diccionario dicen haberse basado en un índice general y haber visto los documentos. En fin, ya tenemos tela de dónde cortar.

Saludos a todos

Marcelina

Hello primos!

I had not researched any lines in quite some time but in recent days I did some research about the Plancartes-Blsncartes-Maciel and I think I just got it right. It's a little bit confusing because several names are repeated in different generations, for instance: Isabel del Castillo, Álvaro Maciel, Juan Asencio de León, Gerónima de Liébana...

In this case I'll go from the first documented Plancarte through to his descendant Juan Maciel Yáñez Plancarte who married Ana García de Liébana ca 1595.

Guillermo Plancarte arrived to New Spain in 1526 and there are some records about him in Valladolid around 1541 and also in Colima.

 

He married Ana Hernández or Dominguez around 1536 and there are at least three documented children:

 

Guadalupe b apr-1-1538 CdMx

Isabel b may-3-1543 CdMx

Pedro b1555 Valladolid

 

Guadalupe married ca 1562 Álvaro Maciel Yáñez García died before jan-24-1600 when his son Juan Maciel Yáñez Plancarte sells some lands that 83 years later would bring a lawsuit.

 

Juan Maciel Yáñez Plancarte (I) married ca 1590 Ana de Liébana (I) and they were the parents of

 

Álvaro Maciel Yáñez Plancarte b1594 Tangancícuaro, who married 1617 (in Jalostotitlán ?) Isabel Tello de Orozco del Castillo Liébana (II)

Ana de Liébana (I) was sister of Isabel del Castillo Orozco Liébana (I) as they were children of Isabel del Castillo López de Fuenllana and Gerónimo Tello de Orozco Liébana b1553 Guad.

 

Ana de Liébana (I) married ca 1592 Juan  Maciel and were parents of 

 

Álvaro Yáñez Plancarte Maciel;

 

Isabel del Castillo Orozco Liébana (I) married ca 1598 Juan de Zamora (I) and were parents of

 

Isabel del Castillo Orozco Liébana (II) b ca 1600 who married ca 1620 Álvaro Yáñez Maciel Plancarte her first cousin, though I haven't seen the corresponding dispensa.

 

In 1662 Juan de Zamora (II) brother of Isabel (II) declared being her brother and Alvaro's brother in law

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comment

The son of Juan Carlos Munguia And Maria Antonia Theresa Coria y Villaseñor shows his mother's surname as Coria Villaseñor when he marries. This provides more evidence that she is the daughter of Antonio Coria- Peralta Rincon and Antonia Villaseñor.

I believe that Juan Carlos Munguia and Maria Antonia Theresa Coria-Peralta Villaseñor were also related through their Villaseñor lines so there may be a record of dispensation for their marriage. The record may be in Michoacan or Jalisco.

Comment

Hello, Fellow Genealogists. I've been away for a few weeks and just now saw the comments re Murguia. I dedicated a lot of time on this line and having exhausted my resources I put it aside. Then about four years ago I revisited my research and added a few ideas. These Murguia are a challenge, but hopefully with more of us on the trail we can break through.

The following is a brief paper I had prepared for my file. It has the gist of my Murguia research as I tried to connect them to the Ontiveros. I just did a cut-and-paste:

I am trying to identify my Murguia ancestors, whom I have traced from Lagos back to Tangantzicuaro and Guadalajara. I think my earliest Murguia were involved with the Ontivero family. Here is what I have found on them to date:

1. My ancestor Joseph Murguia married Maria Nicolasa de Anda Altamirano in 15 Sep 1722. His father Nicolas de Murguia, Jr., b. ca.1665, (son of Nicolas de Murguia, Sr., b. ca.1640, and Ana de Liebana, b. 16 Jul 1640 Chilchota) married Maria Infante de Villegas, b. 18 Oct 1663, Lagos, (daughter of Bartolome Diaz Infante and Maria Solano, daughter of Juan Solano cc Francisca de Velasco).

2. In Tangantzicuaro on 24 Jan 1660, Nicolas de Murguia, Sr. presented information to marry Ana de Liebana. He did not name his parents, but witnesses provided some important information. Francisco de Valencia (49 years old, NLT) said he had known the pretensos since they were born “…aunque Nicolas de Murguia estubo algun tiempo fuera deeste pueblo en la ciudad de Guadalajara con sus padres, no es casado porque asistio con el en Guadalajara.” Melchor de Valencia (about 50, NLT) had known the pretenso about 20 years, when he was born here. The last witness, Miguel Maldonado was about 50 also. (Film 764181, Morelia)

Ana’s parents were named in the entry: Juan Asencio de Leon, vecino de Tangantzicuaro, and Doña Geronima de Liebana.

These are the various entries that I have extracted re any Murguia:

3. Marriage Information: 16 May 1672 Jacona. Christoval de Murguia (son of Gaspar de Murguia and Mariana de Ontiveros, vecinos que fueron de Tlasasalca) to marry Alfonsa de Contreras (dtr of Francisco Guerrero and Sebastiana Diaz, vecinos de Jacona). Christoval was a widower. His first wife Ana de Tovar died five years prior and was buried in Tangantzicuaro. Witnesses: Francisco de Bejar 30, Diego de la Mora y Mendoza 22, and Francisco de los Reyes, morisco libre, 38. (Film 778773, Morelia)

4. Marriage Information: 10 Jul 1670 or 1671. Catalina de Ontiveros (dtr of Francisco de Murguia Ontiveros and Josepha de Orosco) to marry Melchor de los Reyes, viudo de Francisca de Liebana, 1½ years. A witness, Christoval de Murguia, esp. about 50 years old, was the brother of Francisco de Murguia Ontiveros, Catalina’s father. (Film 765278, Morelia)

5. I have identified three children of Francisco de Murguia Ontiveros and Josepha de Orosco: Catalina de Ontiveros mentioned above, Felipe Murguia, and another daughter married to Antonio de Ayllon.

6. Josepha de Orosco (cc Francisco de Murguia Ontiveros) had three known siblings: Juan de Zamora (cc Ana Murguia), Catalina de Zamora, and Geronimo de Zamora (a priest). I don’t have their parents identified.

7. Juan de Murguia, mestizo, and Antonia de Mendoza were the parents of Geronima de Ontiveros cc Miguel de Amesqua, who in turn were the parents of Lorenza de Ontiveros who was to marry Bernabe Garcia, son of Francisco Garcia cc Getrudis de los Reyes, per documents dated 9 Oct 1694 and 10 Jan 1696. They were not granted a dispensation to marry. (Film 755448, Morelia)

8. Juan Asencio de Leon and Geronima de Leibana had a son Pedro Blancarte (aka Pedro Asencio de Leon) born in Tangantzicuaro, who in 1663 married Ana Ontiveros, daughter of Juan de Zamora and Ana de Ontiveros.

• * * * * * * *

Started to look at my Murguia line again. Checked the online IGI at FamilySearch and found:

1. Nicolas Murguia and Maria Infante had the following children. All baptisms are in film 221504.

26 Apr 1699 Maria
7 Nov 1689 Joseph
14 Feb 1692 Cecilia
13 Oct 1697 Antonio
5 Dec 1700 Nicolas

2. Diego de Murguia and Joseph de Zamora had their daughter Catalina baptized on 21 Feb 1649 in Sag. Met. Guad. Madrina: Marianna del Castillo. Film 38311

3. Antonio Aillon and Ysabel Murguia had their daughter Maria baptized on 17 Feb 1669 in Etzatlan, JAL. Padrino: Joseph de Zamora. Film 282198. I think Ysabel is the unidentified daughter of Francisco de Murguia Ontiveros and Joseph de Orosco mentioned above in paragraph 5.

4. On 27 July 1629 in Chilchota, Michoacan, was the baptism of Joseph, son of Francisco Murguia and Josepha Zamora. Padrinos were: Esteban de Mendoza and Isabel de Mora. On the IGI this listing is incorrect. Josepha Zamora is identified as Josepha Camera. I looked at the film on the computer and immediately saw that the readers had missed the cedilla under the large C, and had misread the “o” as an “e” thereby reading “Camera.” The handwriting is difficult, but there is no doubt that it is ZAMORA. Film 640965

5. On the same Chilchota film were three baptismal entries for Villegas-Murguia babies. All three had the same godparents: Francisco Tzintzuni and Catalina Tzipaqua. Entries during that period were identified in the margin as Español if it applied. Indians were not identified. None of the three entries had “Español” in the margin. I am assuming that the children were Naturales. In other types of entries where Indians were identified, some of them had Spanish names.

9 Apr 1642 Francisco, son of Francisco Villegas and Maria Murguia
3 Sep 1645 Pedro, son of Sebastian Villegas and Maria Murguia
5 May 1648 Juan, son of Sebastian Villegas and Maria Murguia

Comment

Some of the Murguia family members that I researched had the surname Murguia- Maciel, The Maciel surname is connected to the Blancarte (Plancarte) surname.

Dear Mary Lou,

I had recently done research on this family in response to this thread, but I made a mistake in not looking at my previous records from years ago. When you posted your information on the Murguia family I recognized a couple of my ancestors. Those ancestors also used the surname Maciel Plancarte instead of just Blancarte. I went to my previous research and found work that I had done many years ago for a cousin, whose father has some ancestors that used the surname Munguia. It turns out that I had already researched Carlos Munguia and Ma. Anita. Theresa Coria a long time ago. Back then I had focused on some of their descendants. When I had done this research I had only looked for the surname " Munguia" as I had not known that some branches also used "Murguia."

Carlos Juan Munguia Maciel and Ma. Anita.Theresa Coria are the parents of Miguel Munguia who married Eufrasia Rosalia Perez de Siorda. My cousins father descends from them.

I descend from Juan Asencio de Leon and Doña Geronima de Liebana through their daughter Nicolasa de Liebano and her husband Juan Bacilio de Velasco.
Juan Bacilio and Nicolasa's daughter, Geronima Velasco and her husband Diego Lomelin y Perez-Maldonado are the parents of Rosa Maria Lomelin married to Manuel Alvarez Tostado.

I also descend from Juan Asencio de Leon and Doña Geronima de Liebana through their son Alvaro Maciel el Viejo and his wife Isabel Orosco del Castillo [de Zamora] my father descends from this line.

Isabel Orosco del Castillo descends through her mother, who was also named Isabel Orosco de Castillo, from Doctor Licienciado y Gobernador de Nueva Gakicia Geronimo de Orosco II and Beatriz Tello de Lomas (Tello de Sandoval).

Putting your information that you just posted together with what I already have indicates that Carlos Juan Munguia Maciel (Murguia) descends from Nicolas De Murguia and Ana Liebana. The Maciel comes from Ana Liebana's ancestry.

I have more information that I will post later.

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

Dear Mary Lou,

Your post led me to revisit many old records that I had researched many, many years ago. These old pieces of the puzzle had been at the bottom of a box and forgotten. I pulled them out and added them to other pieces of the Ruis de Velasco Haro family tree puzzle. If you hadn't posted your information I wouldn't of looked into the old research. The Ruiz de Velasco puzzle now has many pieces that fit together.

Thank you very much,
Rick

Your investigation is fantastic 👏 I would love to connect with you and discuss some things about this line I believe my ancestor juana de murguia who married Francisco de mendoza was a descendant of this family she was born in guadalajara in 1656 and was the daughter of francisco murguia (jr)(?) and maria de Ibarra if you could send me an email it would be great thanks

Marcelina,

No todo los casos que se modificaban los apellidos sino era como el cura notaba el apellido. Munguía y Murguía es tradicionalmente aceptado como la misma familia en la provincia de Avalos. Sin duda son dos casas distintas en la península; Munguía siendo originaria de Castilla y Murguía del País Vasco.

No se sabe quienes fueron los padres de D. Nicolás de Munguía, marido de Da. María Infante de Villegas, pero si los tengo en mi archivo familiar ya que una hija suya Da. Cecilia de Munguía y Villegas casó D. Manuel de Aranda Puelles, Señor Divisero del Solar de Puelles. Un chozno de esta pareja, D. Crescencio de Aranda Puelles y Villalobos casó a Da. Josefa de Camino y Valle Menín Velarde, miembro de mi casa materna.

Su hipótesis sobre los Munguía de Tamazula de Gordiano y Zapotlán puede ser una posibilidad.

Comment

Gracias Danny y gracias Daniel:

De momento seguimos desconociendo quienes eran los padres de Nicolás de Murguía.

He estado leyendo sobre el Mayorazgo de Murguía del País Vasco, sin embargo las infomaciones se concentran en la descendencia que pasó al Perú.

Hubo un Alejo de Murguía que pasó a Nueva España en el siglo XVI con varios privilegios y fue nombrado juez repartidor en la minas de Zimapán, pero hasta ahora no he podido relacionarlo con los Murguía de Santa María de los Lagos.

Reciban saludos y mis mejores deseos.

my gr-grandmother was Maria Merced Munguia born 1850 married to Longinos Gutierrez in Tamazula, Jalisco. I have only been able to take her line back 5 generations to Juan Carlos Munguia abt 1715 and Teresa(Maria Antonia) Coria also in Tamazula.

I have found that the Murguia line is a separate line in Tamazula.

Comment

In the marriage record of Carlos Munguia and Thereza de Coria the witnesses are Bonifacio Ochoa and Juana Manuela Diaz. The godparents are Antonio Villaseñor and Ana Munguia.

I believe that the groom and bride are related to their witnesses and godparents. Bonifacio Ochoa's son's mother in law is Maria Coria Villaseñor. She is the daughter of Antonio Coria- Peralta Rincon and Antonia Villaseñor. Bonifacio's second wife is Maria Gertrudis Coria Peralta y Villaseñor, daughter of Antonio Coria- Peralta Rincon and Antonia Villaseñor.

I believe that Matias Coria and Maria Antonia Tereza Coria may be brother and sister. They married within three months of each other and their marriage records are written on the same page. Carlos Munguia and Tereza Coria were married on the 15th of November. Mathias Coria and Maria Theresa de Jesus Galindo married the 24th of August of the same year. Mathias Coria is the son of Antonio Coria- Peralta Rincon and Antonia Villaseñor.

For more on these lineages see my posts on the Ochoas, Villaseñors, and the Corias.

Nicolas De Murguia 2Z3Y-GXT
​06 Mar 1628 Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico–Deceased
Creo que este es el dia de nacimiento(bautizo) ya que se caso y tuvo hijos despues de este dia asi que no puede ser dia que fallecio.

Busque el casimiento que seguro pudo ser entre 1680-87 pero los archivos del ano 1685-87 faltan. Otro detalle notable es que tuvo los hijos con Maria Ynfante Villegas ninguna dice Maria Gonzales mas que el de Pedro nacido 1725 que seguramente no es de ellos. Otro detalle es que el hermano diego dias Ynfante caso con villegas y tuvo a maria Ynfante villegas que se caso 1678 con alonso. O puede ser que hay dos Marias en la familia (usan los nombres solano, dias, gonzales, villegas y otros nombres) pero una use el nombre gonzales y la otra Ynfante. Lo ultimo es que si Nicolas nacio en 1628 puede ser que estuvo casado antes.

Cambiando temas: en el libro Estudios Michoacanos VII por Francisco Meyer en la pagina 113 menciona el nombre de Diego de Avalos de Velazco y Munguia (n. M. June 25 1722)fue originario de Zapotlan, Jalisco y vecino de Zamora, hijo de Pedro de Avalos y de Dona Josefa de Velazco y Munguia (aveces Murguia)

tambien menciona a nombres como Espinosa, Peres de Garfias, Aldana, Jasso, Marques de la Mora, Villanueva de Molinar

Comment

Gracias Simone por la fecha de nacimiento, pero creo que no se sabe el nombre de sus padres. Tienes razón, cambiaban los apellidos.

En Familysearch aparece una familia Murguía en Chilchota Michoacán en el siglo XVII. Pero hasta ahora no es seguro que descienda de ellos, ya que existe la otra posibilidad de que descienda de la rama de Zacatecas.

Saludos

Romero / Sanchez Family

Hello everyone,

Comments

Comment

Becky, Welcome to our group.

As noted with the previous comment, Jalpa is very difficult to gather older family info, as many records that are typically available in most parishes are just not available for Jalpa.

With that said, Apolonio Romero is the son of Antonio Romero and Benancia Cobarrubias. Whether this is your Apolonio Romero is still unclear.

There were not many Apolonio Romero's listed in all the available padrons for Jalpa. In the 1826 Padron, I believe all the smaller nearby areas (such as Santa Ysabel) were included in the Puesto of Acapepesco.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9K8-KRZ3?i=83&cat=230…
On image 84 of 2000 are:
Antonio Romero - Listed first (Normally head of household)
Venancia Cobarrubias - Spouse
Likely children listed were:
Juana Maria Romero
Anna Maria Romero
Jose Apolonio Romero
Maria Josefa Romero
Maria Torivia Romero
The last two children were listed as P (Parbula), All others as A (Adult)

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-T8VJ-K?cc=1804458
In Nochistlan, on 6 January 1838, Apolonio Romero is listed on a intended marriage record with Estefana Duran. The record stated he was from Santa Ysabel (Jalpa) and his age was listed as 24 (born circa 1814). He stated his parents to be Antonio Romero and Benancia Cobarrubias. I took a peak at the Nochistlan 1839 census records for the area she was from (Los Duranes/Duranos), and Apolonio Romero/Estefana Duran were not listed, but her parents/siblings were listed. No further records of these two exist in Nochistlan records.

Proceeding on with Jalpa Census records again.
This census is not properly dated from what I can tell, but believe it is circa 1842.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89K7-WZNK?i=130&cat=23…
Mexico, Jalisco, Arquidiócesis de Guadalajara, padrones
Padrones, Caja 35 letra J, 1649-1825 (Jalpa - circa 1842 - Santa Ysabel)
Image 131 of 1158
(Jose) Apolonio Romero - Head of Household
Estefana Duran - Spouse of Apolonio Romero
Antonio Romero (Father)
Bonifacia (Benancia) Cobarrubias (Spouse of Antonio Romero)
Paula Romero
Silveria Romero
Deonicio Romero
Petra Romero
Valentina Romero

These are the parents/siblings of Apolonio Romero.

Most likely Estefana Duran died before having children and
Apolonio Romero re-married to Maria Jesus Sanchez, where
they remained in the Santa Ysabel, Jalpa area. Some sort
of record would help to bear this out.

Also I uploaded a quick reference list of the various Jalpa Padrons.
This is located in the Files Area (Reference section) and is also
downloadable (in PDF format).

Regards,

Lee

Comment

Hello Becky,

Jalpa is a tough one, because of all of the holes in the church records. Doing a general search, those names appear nowhere else, so Apolonio and Maria Jesus were likely born and married in Jalpa. But as you know, there are no marriage records for Jalpa between 1838 and 1864 (marriage informations).

Have you looked at the padrones? These are censuses. They are not indexed, so you have to look through each page to find your names. They usually have head of household and the family group w/ages. I recommend going backwards in years: starting in 1885, look for Apolonio & Ma Jesus, then look at 1846, which was likely before they married - maybe you’ll find them living with their parents. “Apolonio Romero” is a rare name+surname combination, and he was probably the only one with this name in Jalpa during those years. Here are three padrones that he might appear in. There are earlier ones on the same roll:

1885
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9K8-KTWB?i=550&cat=23…
1846
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9K8-KT9F?i=455&cat=23…
1830
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9K8-KRKF?i=391&cat=23…

Hopefully you can find him, and hopefully, his parents married between 1827-1838.

Good luck!

Jauregui from Nochistlan to Mexticacan

In search of any Jauregui descendants that  originated in Nochistlan then carried over to Mexticacan & Cañadas Jalisco.  Ancestor Nicolas de Jauregui, from Los Yugos Cañadas, born around 1790, is who we are researching.  Married 1st wife, Petra Gomez. 2nd wife, Juana Yniguez. Searching for  maternal & paternal records for Nicolas Jauregui as his mother was recorded as Juana de Jauregui. He must have taken his mother's surname. 

Comments

Comment

Nicolas Jauregui’ s wife, Tomasa Jauregui Gonzalez, descends from Juan  Francisco Xauregui and Josefa  Chavez Siorda.

The marriage dispensation that I attached states that they are related through the Jauregui so,yes, Nicolas most likely descends from that same couple. The record states that they are “ segundo con tercer grado” cousins. That means that it is most likely that Tomasa’s father is a sibling to a grandparent of Maria de los Santos Jauregui.   That would make Nicolas Jauregui also a descendant of Juan Francisco Xauregui and Josefa Chavez Siorda.
Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Thank you! Can you please tell me where this record is and what year?  We only knew of Nicolas other 2 wives, not Tomasa. The only record we've seen for Nicolas's mother Juana, was that she was recorded as Juana de Jauregui. I assume she was not married by church to Encarnacion Yniguez, therefore Nicolas was not given his father's surname? There were so many Jauregui's in that area. 

Comment

Hello Karina,

Nicolas was the legitimate son of J Encarnacion Yniguez and Maria de San Juana Jauregui and was born circa 1827 according to his marriage dispensation to Tomasa dated:


2 de noviembre de 1846

  They are “ segundo con tercer grado” cousins. 
 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:684L-SMB7?lang=en

I attached their marriage dispensation to their familysearch tree.     https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DJHR?view=index&cc=1874591&lang=en&groupId=


I attached the record to Tomasa Jauregui Gonzalez so check her source dated 1846


I am sorry that I didn’t respond sooner.

Your welcome,

María Crestina Macías Valadés in Calvillo, Aguascalientes

Looking for information about María Crestina Macías Valadés (Española), usually spelled Masias Balades, AKA Ximénes AKA Péres.

She was probably born in Aguascalientes about, or before, 1733 (guess based upon her children's dates of birth). She married José Santiago Rodríguez sometime before 1748.

She was mostly referred to as "Crestina Macias" but her surname was given in various records as "Masias Balades," "Peres" and "Ximénes." 

I cannot find a baptism record for her, so I've been looking through the Macías Valadés family to find marriages with anyone with the surnames Jiménez or Pérez without much luck. 

Any suggestions or info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Travis

Hey Rick!

Thank you for sending the references. 

Correcting a couple of errors on these entries:

José Santiago Rodríguez didn't die 10 Nov 1781. That's the date of the marriage of his son José Ylario to María Carrasco (our ancestors). He is mentioned as already deceased within the record. Prior to my discovery of his burial record (7 Dec 1769), this was the first mention of him as deceased in records, which may be why the author of this entry chose 10 Nov 1781 as his date of death. 

The family search ID also shows María Cristina Masías as deceased on 10 Nov 1781, but she's clearly still living in the same above-mentioned marriage record. I cannot find a burial record for her, but she seems to have passed away between 16 May 1789 (marriage of her son Pablo) and 12 Apr 1793 (MI of her son Ignacio).

All the information for the couple's children appears accurate - I'll check Santiago's baptismal info next. 

I appreciate your suggestions and advice. 

Thanks,

Travis

Site down - Failed Update

All,

The site has been down intermittently since yesterday evening (7-1-2026) at about 8:00pm (Arizona Time). This was due to a failed software update that corrupted the NuestrosRanchos database. 

This site performs weekly updates. At first I reverted back to the last good update on 6-25-2026.  However, I rechecked backups from the server that the NuestrosRanchos system is running on, and found a more current backup from 7-1-2026.  

It took about 45 minutes this morning to restore the site.  

If you had any posts/comments from early morning on 7-1-2026 until 7-2-2026 (7:30am - Arizona time), please recheck and repost, if necessary.  Will be checking into reason why update failed, and after solving issue, will attempt another update to the NuestrosRanchos system in the next few days.

Juan Rodriguez and María Josepha de la Cruz in Calvillo, Aguascalientes

Looking for information about José Santiago Rodríguez and his parents, Juan Rodríguez and María Josepha de la Cruz. 

José Santiago Rodríguez (Español) born about 1731 (a guess based upon his children's births). According to his burial record (7 Dec 1769), he was born in Zacatecas and is the son of Juan Rodríguez and María Josepha de la Cruz. 

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6SJ9-JKC

i can only find him in records from the 1750s onwards. He is recorded as living in San Nicolas, Calvillo, Aguascalientes (recorded in Tabasco, Zacatecas at first) and then living in Barranca, Calvillo. 

Was he born in San Nicolas Hacienda, Calvillo, which was considered Zacatecas at the time? 

I cannot find much on Calvillo prior to the 1740s. 

One clue: some later descendants used the surname Rodríguez de Frías, but neither Santiago, nor his sons, used that surname. They are recorded as simply "Rodríguez."

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you

Travis

Hello Rick!

Thank you for replying to my queries about Santiago Rodríguez and his wife Cristina Macías and offering good advice. 

I'm actually visiting Jalisco and Guanajuato right now.

When I return, I'll put all the suggestions you offered to good use.

Thank you, again!

Hello Travis,

There is a Juan Rodríguez, (son of Anna Maria) marrying Rosa Maria De la Cruz (daughter of Josepha de la Cruz) in Guanajuato on 29/April/1715.  [https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/pedigree/landscape/K6WW-XNJ]


Another thing to remember when researching people with the name Santiago is to also consider that Santiago and Diego are interchangeable.  Try looking for a Diego Rodríguez de Frias.

Good luck in your research,

Comment

Nuno Álvares Pereira conocido como “ San Nuno de Santa María” y también como “Protector de Portugal” es hermano de un ancestro de Juana Nuñez de Sotomayor, esposa De Diego Ochoa Garibay.

Leonor Alfonso de Guzmán, en su testamento fechado el 24 de abril de 1341, dejó la siguiente manda: Ytem mando a Sol Martinez que anda con mi fijo Don Johan, cinquenta maravedis.

The “testamento” was written in French and the meaning of the French words was that she was leaving the money for Sol who was "carrying" her son Juan's child.

So although Juan de la Cerda did not leave a Legal male heir, Sol Martinez did give him an illegitimate son named Martin Gonzalez de la Cerda. Juan de la Cerda is grandson to the king.

Martin Gonzalez de la Cerda married Violante Gonçalves Pereira who was the illegitimate daughter of Alvaro Gonçalves Pereiral . Iria’s brother, San Nuño de Santa María, is a famous saint, known as the “Protector de Portugal” , His baptismal name is Nuñez Álvarez Pereira.

Martin and Violante are the parents of Mahalda de la Cerda who married Fernan Gutierrez de Valverde

Mahalda and Fernan are the parents of Maria Gutierrez de Valverde who married as her second husband, Gonzalo Porcallo de Moran.

Gonzalo and and Maria are the parents of Beatriz Moran who married Lorenzo Ulloa.

Lorenzo Ulloa and Beatriz Moran are the parents of Leonor de la Cerda Ulloa who married Balthazar Mendoza.

Balthazar Mendoza and Leonor de la Cerda are the parents of Juan Pantoja who married Catalina Medina

Juan Pantoja and Catalina Medina are the parents of Bernardina Mendoza who married Gonzalo Nuñez de Sotomayor

Gonzalo Nuñez de Sotomayor and Bernardina Mendoza are the parents of Juana Nunez de Sotomayor who married Diego Ochoa de Garibay.

Ricci,

First of all, thanks for all of your work, it is greatly appreciated. I started working on my ancestry last year and as of now I have been able to trace it back to 11 generations (Jalisco, Nueva Galicia, Espana). I'm a descendant of Martin de Ochoa y Garibay Ibarlucea ( 11th great grandfather). I see that you have some information on his mother's side (Juana Ibanez de Esteibar) but I was wondering if you knew Juan Otxoa's background.

My direct line:

Enrique Ochoa Cardenas nacido en Colima, Colima 1988
-Mi padre: Enrique Ochoa Casillas nacido en Pihuamo, Jalisco 1964
-Mi abuelo: Jesus Apolinario Ochoa Magana. Pihuamo, Jalisco 1923

-11mo Bisabuelo: Martin de Ochoa y Garibay Ybarlucea.

In this journey, I've discovered some very interesting things. Like the fact that my great grandfather was the son of an "uncle/niece marriage" (not cool).

Dear Enrique,

I have Juan Otxoa de Ybarlucea (born about 1490) (in Spanish:Juan Ochoa de Ibarlucea) as the son of Martin Otxoa Ybarlucea from Elorrio. Martin Otxoa Ybarlucea was an Escribano. It is most likely that Martin Ochoa is a converso. Though it is a high probability that Martin is Juan's father, it is not conclusive. I still need to do more research to say that it is 100% that he is his father.

In the Jewish culture, all men were required to read and write. It was a requirement that they be able read the Torah. Most non-Jewish people in those years were not literate. The Black Plague killed off many escribanos as they also became infected when they went to visit the sick to record their last testaments and their deaths. Since readers and writers were scarce, the more escribanos that died from the plague, the more Jews and conversos were recruited to take their place.

The direct line that you provided has a little different information than the family tree that I have put together on your line.

Here is what you posted plus my corrections:

Enrique Ochoa Cardenas nacido en Colima, Colima 1988
-Mi padre: Enrique Ochoa Casillas nacido en Pihuamo, Jalisco 1964

-11mo Bisabuelo: Martin de Ochoa y Garibay Ybarlucea.
-12vo Bisabuelo: Juan de Ochoa Ybarlucea
-13. Bisabuelo: Martin de Ochoa (Otxoa)

What I have different is your
6to Bisabuelo: Bonifacio de Ochoa Garibay y Gutierrez. Zamora, Michoacan 1685 Bonifacio was married twice. You have his son as Joseph Francisco de Ochoa Garibay y Padilla. His second surname is not Padilla. I have him as the son of his first wife Antonia Oseguera y Maciel. I also have his complete name as Joseph Francisco de Sales Ochoa y Oseguera.

I don't have your uncle /niece information. I have the spouses in the generations before them. Please provide her information so that I can add it to my records.

I took a look at your ancestry and I see that besides the Ochoa Garibay, we have many other ancestors in common. If you look at some of the work that I have posted from last month to a few years ago, you will see many of your ancestors in Spain.

I haven't posted all of my work as it is too much. I am writing a book with your Ochoa, Nuñez de Sotomayor, Lomelin, Coria-Lopez Peralta, Ha-Levi /house of David, Villaseñor, Boccanegra and other ancestries that go back many, many centuries.

Thank you for your comments,
Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Wow. Thanks again for the info Rick. I'll add this to my tree.

You're right about my 5th great grandfather's name: Joseph Francisco Ochoa y Oseguera, I copied his wife's name by mistake when I wrote the comment. Good catch.

I'm interested in reading your book once it comes out.

Happy Holidays!

Dear Enrique,

-4to Bisabuelos: Diego Eugenio de la Trinidad de Ochoa Padilla. Tamazula, Jalisco 1754, and his second wife, Isabel Mendoza

It is believed by some people that Diego Eugenio de la Trinidad de Ochoa Padilla had two wives. The two wives had very similar names and more research needs to be done to discover whether they were actually two people or just one.

The two names are Maria Eulalia Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza and Maria Isabel Mendoza.

In the first town that they lived in the wife is named Eulalia Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza or Isabel Eulalia Hurtado de Mendoza. In the second town she is named Maria Isabel Mendoza or just Isabel Mendoza.

Dear Enrique,

When I looked at your family tree I looked for other connections to my research. Even though you asked for Ochoa information, your family tree provided another piece to the Coria puzzle. Even though it was only a small piece to be added to the many pieces that I already have on the Coria family, it was a very welcome addition. Your small piece pushed me to go back and try again to solve the Coria dilemma. The pieces didn't seem to fit together until your added piece, plus a comment from Marcelina (Fabiola), helped me arrange the pieces so that it all makes sense.

Marcelina had stated that we should look at a couple of other places for more information. I had responded that I already had those sources. When I added your piece to the puzzle, I took another look at all the information that I had, and came up with a solution where all the pieces fit. I still need to revisit all the sources and make sure that there aren't any mistakes.

Thanks again,
Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Someone asked me to explain the change in surnames in the Ochoa-Garibay pedigree.

If someone here in West Los Angeles asked where I live I would say Mar Vista. If I was in Northern California I would answer Los Angeles. if I was in another state, let's say a state clear across the country on the eastern coast, I would answer California. If I was in another country, I would answer the United States of America. This is how the surname sometimes changed from one generation to the next for Spaniards in the 15th and 16th centuries. The surnames didn't always change permanently. This was a naming pattern in these basque provinces. Some families kept their same surname even if they moved around. Some other families changed their surname often. In some families everyone changed their surname if one person changed his surname, in other families, every sibling may have a different surname.

Juan Martinez de Uncella de Mondragon de Aramayona de Alava
Ivan (Juan) son of Martin residing in the church jurisdiction of Uncella in the Villa Mondragon, from the valley Aramayona, from the Alava province, Basque Country, Spain.

Iglesia de Uncella from the Valle Aramayona, provincia Alava,
Villa de Mondragon

Later! Ybarlucea and Garibay show up as part of the surname. We have Martin Ochoa Ybarlucea becoming Martin Ochoa Garibay. The change is Ybarlucea to Garibay, from the banks of the river where the fern grows in Elorrio (Ybarlucea) to the valley where Elorrio is located (Garibay)
The banks where the fern grows in Elorrio= Ybarlucea
Valle de Elorrio= Garibay
Provincia de Guipozcoa
Basque Country

I hope this helps,
R.A. Ricci

1). Martin Uncella ( born in the 1300's) is the father of

1.1) Ivan (Juan) Martinez Uncella (born about 1385) escribano de la villa (There is a story about him being banished by the king of Castilla that I go into more detail in my book). Ivan (Juan) is the father of

1.1.1). Martin Ibanez Uncella (born abt. 1430
Married to Juana Etxebarria (born abt 1435, daughter of Pedro Etxebarria, Señor del solar de Etxebarria. (Pedro is born on or before 1410 surname also later
spelled Echevarria.
They married and lived in Mondragon. Martin Ibanez Uncella and Juana Etxebarria are the parents of:

1.1.1.4). Teresa Ibanez de Uncella (born abt. 1465) married in Elorrio to Pedro Garcia de Esteibar ( born about 1465). Their marriage and life in Elorrio, Basque Country strongly influences the change in surname

Teresa Ibanez de Uncella and her husband Pedro Gartzia de Esteibar are the parents of:

1.1.1.4.1) Juana Ibanez de Esteibar (born abt. 1490) married to Juan Otxoa de Ybarlucea (born about 1490) (in Spanish:Juan Ochoa de Ibarlucea). They are the parents of

1.1.1.4.1.3). Martin (Machin) Ochoa Ybarlucea (born in 1513) ( also known as Martin Ochoa Garibai) Ybarlucea and Garibay are both names used for being from Elorrio, one refers to the valley, while the other refers to the banks of the river where the fern grows.
Martin Ochoa Ibarlucea is married to Maria Suarez de Solis y Rodriguez, daughter of Juan Bueno de Solis and Catalina Rodriguez.
Martin Ochoa Ibarlucea also had a daughter, Magdalena Garibay, out of wedlock with an unknown Indian. Magdalena married Diego Lopez. It is unknown which sibling was born first so gave her the #1.1.1.4.1.3.2). As if she was born second to Diego. A marriage dispensation of descendants of the two half siblings helps organize the family tree.

Martin (Machim) Ochoa Garibay and Maria Suarez de Solis were the parents of:

1.1.1.4.1.3.1). Diego Ochoa Garibay (born abt, 1531) married to Juana Nunez de Sotomayor

Diego Ochoa Garibay and Juana Nunez de Sotomayor are the parents of :

Un alacrán y dos ochoas.Genealogía de la familia Ochoa en Colima.por Enrique Ceballos Ramos.
Y veo que es muy cierto, por todos lados me encuentro a Ochoas y muchos de ellos parientes. Me interesaría conocer de estos Ochoas a partir de Gaspar Miguel Ochoa Padilla 9 enero 1764-X Originarios de Tamazula de Godiano Jalisco y mas puntual sobre los Ochoa Gutierrez de Tecalitlan, en tu libro llegaste a ellos?

Comment

Hola Tere,

A mi tambien me gusta la frase del libro de Enrique Ceballos. En general hay parentesco entre los Ochoas de Colima y sur de Jalisco. Revise mi arbol genealogico y resulta que somos parientes lejanos. Mi 4to bisabuelo Diego Eugenio Ochoa Padilla (Tamazula 1754) era hermano mayor de Gazpar Miguel Ochoa Padilla. No tengo mucha informacion respecto a el, solo que caso con Maria Guadalupe de Orosco en 1784. Puedes ver el acta de matrimonio aqui: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JCXB-BJQ

Comment

Haciendo una investigación de los descendientes de los Ochoa Gutierrez me doy cuenta que hay muchos Ochoa casados con Ochoa, mi bisabuelo Rafael C Ochoa Gutierrez se caso con una sobrina Gertrudis Ochoa Ochoa hija de su media hermana y esta media hermana Maria de Jesus Ochoa de la Mora ella estaba estaba casada Ignacio Ochoa.... aparte hay otro monton mas. Después se caso Rafael O. G. con la media de hermana de su mujer o sea otra sobrina, pero ella era Castellanos Ochoa.
No pude abrir el enlace de "Lista de Pasajeros a indias" Entonces Martín fue el español que vino a America y no su hijo Diego? toda la familia dice que fue Diego y yo tenia la duda.

El libro ya salio? donde se consigue?

Saludos a los parientes lejanos y cercanos al corazón.

I forgot to add that Francisca Ochoa Garibay y Nunez de Sotomayor had a second marriage to Alonso Romero Chavez. I descend from the first marriage many times. I also descend from Her brother Juan Ochoa. My wife also descends from the Ochoa Garibay family.

Comment

Juan Otxoa de Ybarlucea (born about 1490) (in Spanish:Juan Ochoa de Ibarlucea) is most likely the son of Martin Otxoa Ybarlucea from Elorrio. Martin Otxoa Ybarlucea was an Escribano. I believe that he is the same escribano that works for the King. This would mean that Juan Otxoa Ybarluceas son was named after his grandfather. The grandfather is not found with the Garibai surname but the grandson Martin Otxoa Ybarlucea was also known as Machin Ochoa Garibay.

Comment

By mistake in two places I named Maria solis as a parent with Diego when Juana Nunez de Sotomayor is what I meant to write

I wrote this mistake above where I list their children. Maria Solis is Diego Ochoa Garibays mother

I also made the same mistake when I mentioned that Diego and his wife may have more children then I am aware of. Again it should say Juana Nunez de Sotomayor and not Maria Solis.

Sorry for the errors,

Alonso Cornejo

Hello everyone,

I was organizing and going over some documents I have. One of these I came across had some information on Alonso Cornejo, which is titled Familia Paterna y Materna de Sor Juana: hallazgos documentales, by Guillermo Scmidhuber of the University of Guadalajara. He delves into the Cornejo family, specifically Alonso Cornejo. 

A Cristóbal Joseph Gomez Cornejo, on 10 June 1758 solicited documents of relation in reference to the Cornejo Ramirez family. It references a document from the 18th of November, 1676 that was prepared for the family of Joseph Cornejo Ramirez. The author notes a petition which deals with the genealogy of the Cornejo family. In said document, a witness testified  that Capt. Fernando Gordíbar Osorio was the paternal grandfather of said Joseph Cornejo, for which this information is provided, and he (Gordíbar Osorio) was a descendent of the first conquistadores. On p.66 he states, “Existe un documento de ‘Filiación’ referente a los Cornejo Ramírez que

Hola Rick, es probable también que sea hijo de García, que el hijo mayor de Martín Álvarez Osorio cc. Mariana López Narices se llamara García López Osorio me sugiere esa posibilidad, personalmente lo guardo en mis anotaciones como hijo de Álvar Pérez Osorio, señor de Villalobos y Castroverde, con la posibilidad de ser hijo de García Álvarez Osorio.

sobre la edad de Martín Álvarez Osorio ya fuera hijo o hermano de García de cualquier forma era un anciano en las guerras de Granada, ya que tanto Álvar Pérez Osorio como su hijo García Álvarez Osorio murieron el mismo año de 1406 por lo tanto Martín Álvarez Osorio no podía ser más joven.

Biography Source:

“BIOGRAPHY

Nació del matrimonio formado por Pedro Álvarez Osorio y María Fernández de Villalobos, línea ésta que dio acceso a la familia Osorio a denominarse “Señor de Villalobos”. En lo físico queda descrito por Pérez de Guzmán como “alto de cuerpo e feo e mal guarnido [...] de una dolencia que ovo de perlesía quedó tollido”. Su pariente Rodrígo Álvarez Osorio en Descendencia de los caballeros Osorios informa que “llegado el tiempo del parto, abriéronla por la hijada [...] y el niño quedó cojo”. Por ello se le conoce como Álvaro Osorio el Cojo.

Su madre murió en el parto y su padre lo dejó huérfano con tres años, bajo la tutela de su tío Álvar Rodríguez Osorio. Bien joven se hizo con las riendas de la casa destacando por su inquebrantable lealtad a la casa de Trastámara, sirviendo con igual fidelidad a Enrique II, Juan I y Enrique III cuyos reinados alcanzó.

Su partidismo por Enrique II provenía por su aversión a Pedro I, porque éste había ordenado ejecutar en Villanubla a su padre, cuyas posesiones entregó a la ciudad de León por un privilegio de 12 de junio de 1365. Por su parte, Enrique aseguró temprano esa fidelidad, pues un año antes de alzarse con el Trono, en 1368, le concedió el señorío de Villalobos.

Con la misma fidelidad sirvió a Juan I con quien coincidía en la edad, veintiún años, cuando subió al Trono. Al lado de Juan I interviene en las guerras fronterizas, especialmente en la portuguesa, a la muerte de Fernando I, asistiendo a la batalla de Aljubarrota.

Más tarde el duque de Lancaster invadió las tierras de León haciéndose fuerte Álvaro Osorio en Benavente, plaza que no se rindió; sin embargo, el inglés arrasó todos los pueblos de su señorío como Villalobos, Valderas y tierras de Astorga, talando y quemando arboledas y viñedos; asimismo devastó la ciudad, que abandonó ante la llegada de las tropas de Álvaro P. Osorio, retirándose a Portugal. En un privilegio de Juan I se concedió franquicia de alcalbala a los vecinos de Valderas por su comportamiento en esta guerra; Astorga, ya en 1446, recibió permiso de Juan II para replantar el viñedo que había arrasado el de Lancaster.

Finalizada esta contienda fue hora de recoger los frutos, recibiendo del Rey el lugar de Castroverde de Campos. Es por estas fechas cuando obtuvo la tenencia de Astorga y el encargo de construir el alcázarfortaleza de la misma; a la vez su hijo Pedro fue designado, ya en el reinado de Enrique III, regidor de Astorga, con lo que la familia afianzó su poder en la ciudad. La fidelidad a la Corona la mantuvo en el reinado de Enrique III, en cuya minoría formó parte del Consejo de Regencia, teniendo como mayordomo mayor del Rey a su otro hijo Juan; estuvo al lado del Rey ante las intrigas del conde de Benavente, Fadrique Enríquez, empleando los últimos años de su vida en la frontera musulmana con un contingente de cuatrocientos hombres, armados y mantenidos a su cuenta.

De regreso de la guerra de Granada, falleció en Astorga en 1406. Según algunos historiadores, de avanzada edad; según su descendiente Rodrigo asegura, en su manuscrito, de cuarenta y ocho años. Su cadáver fue trasladado, como ordenaba en el testamento, al Convento de Santo Domingo, de Benavente.”

Comment

Hola Rick y Edward, igualmente un saludo a todos los que pudieran leer éste mensaje que creo necesario hacerlo público en éste post

Advierto que puedo extenderme un poco al respecto pero considero que le será útil a cualquier descendiente o estudioso del tema ya que he analizado el traslado de la ejecutoria de hidalguía litigada por los hermanos García López Osorio, Bernardino Osorio y Cristóbal Díaz Narices hijos de Martín Álvarez Osorio y Mariana López Narices.

La primer palabra que puedo utilizar para describir dicho documento es "sospechoso" y ahora les haré una lista de los testigos y los puntos clave que me han generado cierta incomodidad al leer el documento, sensación que me atrevo a pensar que sentía el acusador Francisco de Vargas al conocer la sentencia favorable a dichos hermanos.

También les compartiré un pequeño resumen con más dudas que surgen antes de que cualquier otra persona en éste u otro espacio de encuentro genealógico simplemente tache el documento de falso y la información plasmada de pura charlatanería.

Traslado: primeramente me gustaría hacer la observación de que el documendo disponible es un traslado que Martín López Osorio III nieto del conquistador solicita en 1622 de una información que Bernardino Osorio (primo hermano) de Martín López Osorio el Conquistador presentó en 1561 para venir a residir a la Nueva España en la que solicita un traslado de la ejecutoria litigada en 1530 por sus tíos y su padre, por lo tanto es el traslado de un documento solicitando otro traslado de un documento aún más antiguo, la ejecutoria original se quedó en Sevilla con el hermano mayor de Bernardino Osorio pero la copia de dicho proceso no ha sido localizada recientemente en los archivos de las Reales Chanchillerías de Granada o Valladolid, el año pasado en un video del canal RELATORES propiedad de Don Jorge Barba Gómez ésto fue comentado rapidamente con Don Erik Andrés Reynoso y Márquez los dichos comentaron no haber encontrado nada sobre el pleito mencionado por lo tanto que conste ser la primer señal de sospecha.

Testigos: 01- Lope Rodríguez (Hijodalgo de edad de 100 años poco más o menos), 02- Juan Alonso (Hombre pechero de 100 años poco más o menos), 03- Juan Benito (Hombre pechero de más de 100 años de edad), 04- Juan de Mondin (Hijodalgo de edad de 90 años poco más o menos), 05- Don Pedro Fernández de Castro y Andrada, Conde de Lemos y Andrada, Marqués de Sarria (de edad de 80 años poco más o menos), 06- Francisco de Cabrera (Hombre noble de edad de 95 años), 07- Francisco de Tapia (Hijodalgo de más de 80 años), 08- Lorenzo Ortiz Maldonado (de linaje de pecheros de edad de 75 años poco más o menos), 09- Juan Fernández de Villanueva (Hijodalgo executoriado de edad de 90 años), 10- Hernán Ruiz (Hombre llano de linaje de pecheros de edad de 75 años), 11- Juan Guillén (del estado de los hombres buenos pecheros de edad de 100 años).

como pueden ver testifican 5 Hijosdalgo y 5 Pecheros. salvo dos de los declarantes que dicen que Martín Álvarez Osorio era hijo de García Álvarez Osorio los demás concuerdan en que era hijo de Álvar Pérez Osorio (Señor de Villalobos y Castroverde) y hermano menor de García lo que encaja mejor con la cronología de los personajes mencionados, el señor de Villalobos murió en 1406 el mismo año en el que murió García Álvarez Osorio en la batalla de Quesada. murió Álvar Pérez Osorio a la edad de 48 años según algunas fuentes y de 80 años poco más o menos según otras fuentes como el manuscrito del Presbitero Rodrigo Álvarez Osorio, nadie menciona que Martín Álvarez Osorio murió en dicha batalla pero todos declaran que sirvió a los Reyes Católicos en las guerras de Granada lo que nos permite asumir que Martín Álvarez Osorio hermano menor de García Álvarez Osorio no era hijo de Mayor de Velasco, puede ser posible que lo sea nada es seguro pero es más probable que haya sido hijo de Álvar Pérez Osorio con alguna otra mujer nacido en los últimos 6 años de la vida de su padre o incluso ser un hijo postumo, de esa forma es creíble que haya servido en las guerras de Granada siendo ya un anciano como fue el caso de Don García Dávila.

los cinco hijos de Martín Álvarez Osorio y Mariana López Narices fueron los siguientes, 01- García López Osorio, 02- Bernardino Osorio, 03- Una hija que murió de 20 años, 04- Una hija que murió de 8 años, 05- Cristóbal Díaz Narices siendo el más chico es más probable que haya nacido a mediados de 1400 tanto Cristóbal como sus hermanos mayores debian de ser bastante viejos al momento de litigar dicha hidalguía. 

 

El acusador: después de la sentencia dada a los hermanos Francisco de Vargas apeló a la dicha alegando lo siguiente:

"dixo que seavia de rrevocar suplir y enmendar por lo siguiente = lo primero porlo general = lo otro por que las partes contrarias eran hombres llanos pecheros de su padre y abuelos y antepasados por linea recta de varon y ental possecion y reputacion fue notorio y estaban enlas partes y lugares donde avian vivido y morado = lo otro por que algun derecho avia adquirido la parte contraria a la hidalguia que se pretendia avia sido viciosso por favores y negociaciones que avia tenido con la justicia oficiales y personas principales de los consejos y lugares donde avia vivido = lo otro por que no tenia provada su yntencion ligitimamente y sus testigos eran varios y singulares criados y allegados de la parte contraria y padecian otras muchas trabas y objetos que protesto alegar por que no le devian hacer fin y prueva por lo qual nos pedia y suplicaba revocassemos la dicha sentencia la supliessemos y enmendasemos declarando a los dichos garci lopez ossorio y cristoval diaz narices por hombres llanos pecheros y decendientes de tales mandandoles pechar"

después de la apelación interpuesta por Francisco de Vargas se procedió a lo siguiente:

"fue mandado dar treslado a las partes de garci lopez ossorio bernardino ossorio y cristoval diaz narices para que alegase de su derecho lo que le conviniesse por parte de los quales fue dicho que concluyan sin embargo y por los dichos nuestros oydores fue avido el dicho pleito por concluso"

En resumen, de ésta controvertida forma concluyó el proceso de litigio de los hermanos contra Francisco de Vargas, ¿qué motivó a Francisco de Vargas a acusar a éstos hermanos de ser hombres llanos y pecheros? ¿Fue falsa su acusación y los dichos eran legítimos descendientes del señor de Villalobos? el documento ésta disponible para cualquier persona que quiera leerlo, analizarlo y cotejarlo con otras fuentes para formar una postura personal al respecto, algo similar ocurrió en el pleito de hidalguía de Fernando de Padilla Dávila Caballero veinticuatro de Jerez de la Frontera alegando que "el concejo solicita que Fernando de Padilla fuera declarado pechero llano" inclusive fue parecido el proceso de la recepción de los testimonios de ancianos de Jerez, debido a la edad de los testigos presentados por los hermanos Osorio hay diferentes opiniones personales que podemos tener unos y otros, los ancianos confundían cosas esenciales como el nombre de la esposa de Martín Álvarez Osorio y detalles similares debido a la edad de dos formas diferentes, genuinamente confundían detalles o la historia que los hermanos les pagaron por decir simplemente no la recordaban tal cual se les había instruido la forma de declarar, el testimonio del Conde de Lemos y Andrada supuesto Marqués de Sarria es sospechoso también ya que tengo conocimiento de que en el año de 1530-31-32-33 aún no se había creado el Marquesado de Sarria y el nombre del primer Marqués no concuerda con el que declara, dejando del lado lo controvertido de dicho proceso y las sospechas que pueda despertar, sigue siendo factible que la ascendencia de Martín López Osorio el Conquistador sea la siguiente

01- (Trastatarabuelos) Juan Álvarez Osorio (Merino mayor del Reino de León) cc. María Fernández de Biedma

02- (Tatarabuelos) Pedro Álvarez Osorio (Duque de Aguiar, Señor de Valderas y Fuentes de Ropel) cc. María Rodríguez (o Fernández) de Villalobos

03- (Bisabuelos) Álvar Pérez Osorio (Señor de Villalobos y Castroverde) y posiblemente su esposa Mayor de Velasco o alguna otra mujer

04- (Abuelos) Martín Álvarez Osorio cc. Mariana López Narices

05- (Padres) Cristóbal Díaz Narices cc. Estefanía Rodríguez

Sentencia: personalmente no doy por verdadera o falsa la ascendencia y entronque con el linaje Osorio pero los pocos documentos de los cuales disponemos así lo establecen a pesar de lo sospechoso que el documento el cual no ha sido localizado en algún otro archivo pueda parecer, por lo tanto en mi muy humilde opinión somos supuestos descendientes del Señor de Villalobos Álvar Pérez Osorio mientras no se pueda asegurar lo contrario con algún otro documento verdaderamente irrefutable sólo podemos seguir intercambiando puntos de vista e hipótesis sobre el tema, de cualquier forma sea verdadera o falsa dicha ancestría eso no demerita la interesantísima figura que el Sevillano Martín López Osorio representa.

el presente mensaje lo publico con el afán de aportar mi particular punto de vista con todos aquellos interesados en el tema que quieran debatir acerca del dicho documento o compartir su propio punto de vista aquí en Nuestros Ranchos o en algún otro espacio genealógico, sé que no somos muchos miembros pero espero ésta opinión pueda ser retroalimentada y sometida al juicio de otros investigadores y deudos que somos a través de Martín López Osorio.

Agradezco a Edward Rojano y a Rick A. Ricci por su continua colaboración e intercambio de ideas y agradezco a todo aquel que se tome el tiempo de leer éste mensaje.

No problem Rick! We can set something up on the future. I am usually free on Fridays or the weekend if I am in town. Thanks!

Comment

Apenas he leido una parte del principio y ya puedo compartirles algo curioso, Bernardino Osorio solicita el traslado de la ejecutoria para pasar a la Nueva España en 1561 y la original se quedará con su hermano mayor en Sevilla.

en el estudio Martín López, Carpintero de Ribera por Guillermo Porras Muñoz se encuentra el traslado de una Real Provisión dirigida a Martín López Osorio en la cual se puede leer lo siguiente:

"Vuestra clara Genealojia pues desendeis de la esclaresida casa de Pedro Alvares Ossorio que por su lealtad murio malamente en tiempo de nro progenitor el Rey Don Pedro"

la Real Provisión está fechada en Madrid el 10 de noviembre de 1551 diez años antes de la petición de Bernardino Osorio, es interesante pensar cuando fue que Martín igualmente levantó algúna información genealógica antes de que su primo llegara con una copia de la ejecutoria de sus padres desde Sevilla.

Comment

Edward te agradezco enormemente haber compartido ese maravilloso documento, me gustaría poder encontrarme personalmente con los dos e igualmente discutir abiertamente el tema y lamento no poder hacerlo. pero me dedicaré a leer ciudadosamente todo el manuscrito y les compartiré por privado mis concluciones una vez revisado. igualmente Rick agradezco tu incansable actividad e interes en éstos temas esperando algún día podamos conectar las dos generaciones que no quedan claras.

Saludos.

Hello Edward,

Congratulations on such a great find.  I will like to take you out to lunch and discuss the line with you.  There is a document that I will like to show you that doesn’t dismiss your findings, but does add another generation as it relates to our Cornejo line. This document does address a concern that Leo had.

Do you live in or near Los Angeles?
Congratulations again,

Rick A. Ricci

Hey Rick,

Thanks, that is very nice of you. That won’t be necessary, but coffee would be good so we can discuss and collaborate. I could bring the Nobilario. Yes, I’m in the San Fernando Valley, how about you?

Hi Edward,

I live in west Los Angeles, Mar Vista area. I will be in San Fernando on Wednesday at Van Nuys airport dropping off something at the Van Nuys Mechanic school at the corner of Saticoy and Hayvenhurst at 6:30 pm. I can meet after the drop off or another day.

Thanks,

Hola Rick y Leo,

Como han estado? Si Rick, estoy de acuerdo de que hay otra generación. Ok muchas gracias, espero leerla. 

Aquí tengo información de el Nobilario de Martín López Osorio, el libro que tengo es la transcripción del pleito legal. He estado leyendo y estudiando el documento y aquí les dejo alguna información del documento, lo que he estado escribiendo, y el enlace del documento que pude encontrar en línea!  

El Nobilario de Martín López Osorio - Letters of Patent Nobility of Martin López Osorio

This may be of interest for anyone with Martin Lopez Osorio in their family tree. I previously mentioned that I purchased what appears to be a final draft of the transcription of El Nobilario de Martín López Osorio (The Letters of Patent Nobility of Martin López Osorio) transcribed in 1962 by Clevy Lloyd Strout, Ph. D. Professor of Spanish (Ret.) The University of Tulsa.  

He states the work consists of a single document housed at the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In that collection, it is numbered C 106 in a Catalog of Hispanic Documents in the Thomas Gilcrease Institute. I was able to locate the original document online on their website:

https://collections.gilcrease.org/object/4010120

 It is a total of 205 folio pages, or a total of 411 pages, which Strout says were all copied by hand of Esteban Bernal.

A little background about the document the 8th of November 1622 Martin Lopez Osorio and Jerónimo Lopez Osorio, grandsons of the conquistador, appeared before the chief magistrate of Mexico City, Don Francisco Enríquez de Avila, a petition for a transcript of the “Letters of Patent Nobility, privileges, proofs and other papers and tax records and he asked for justice.”

Strout states, “that is almost exactly one hundred years after the conquest the descendants still were asking for justice for the valorous deeds of  of the grandfather conquistador.”

In regard to the documents transcribed, Strout states the oldest one is The Letters of Patent Nobility of Diego de Ontiveros, which dates from the year 1431 to 1618.

Based on the “Letter of Patent Nobility,” Strout states  the great-grandfather of the great-grandfather of Martin Lopez Osorio was Juan Alvarez Osorio, who was the Merino (Royal Judge if Sheepwalks) of the province of León. There is no more information of Juan Alvarez Osorio in the pages of the lawsuit; however, the great-grandparent of the conquistador, Pedro Alvarez Osorio, there is more. Strout mentions the testimony of a Lope Rodriguez who presented his testimony as per the Letter of Patent Nobility issued by Don Felipe in the year 1530 in Granada, “Pedro Alvarez Osorio, was a man held in great esteem and whom the kings of that time held in high regard, as well as his ancestors.”

It is mentioned that Pedro Alvarez Osorio served in the war of Aljeciras against the moors and the wars against Aragon under king Pedro I. Strout states, Pedro I married Doña Blanca of Borbón in 1355, but was very much in love a with a Maria de Padilla. That romance with Maria de Padilla was a scandal in the court and Pedro Alvarez Osorio advised him, as per the testimony of Lope Rodriguez. He states, “He should live with Doña Blanca and send away those who kept the kingdom in turmoil and caused unrest in their indignation; the king, sending to call for him in order to place him faraway from himself gave him the position of leadership of León and when he was assured in his office, ordered him killed while he was eating with the Master of Calatrava, without any cause whatsoever.” He states he heard this several times from his grandfather.

The son of Pedro Alvarez Osorio, named Alvaro Perez Osorio, was made the Lord of Villalobos and Castroverde. He served under king Don Enríque in the wars against the Duke of Alencastre, when king Don Juan attacked Benavente. He was famous and an illustrious person for what he did in the conquests and wars. He had his house and ancestral estate in the Bisphoric of León, “in the land of sea.”

As per Strout, the names of the sons of Alvaro Perez Osorio, two are known. First, Martin Alvarez Osorio, the older son, who according to Juan Fernandez de Villanueva, “died in the battle of Quesada and the other married Estebanía Rodriguez.” The other son was Garcia Alvarez Osorio. Another witness, Juan Guillen states Garcia also died in the battle of Quesada while serving the king and queen.

Strout states, “ of Martin Alvarez Osorio, who married Mariana Lopez Narices, we have the names of threes sons. The witness Juan Guillen states that they also had two daughters, but we do not know their names. Their mother, Mariana Lopez Narices, was the daughter of Alonso Ponce and Aldonsa Gutierrez, “a woman of high quality and a noblewoman.” Witness Lope Rodriguez states, “they has no mixture of jew or moor and this witness knows that neither the ones nor the other paid taxes nor other tributes.”

Strout states, all of this was learned from the transcript of patent nobility which was litigated by Garcia Lopez Osorio, Bernardino Osorio and Cristobal Narices sons of Martin Alvarez Osorio and Mariana Lopez Narices in 28 January 1530 to prove their nobility.

Hola a todos,

Aqui encontre estas dos paginas con informacion muy interesante de Chimalhuacan. El primer registro de un Nicolas, 28 Oct 1671 en la mano izquierda, dice que los padrinos fueron "Alonso Cornejo y su hija y Ines Ramirez." No dice su esposa y como es un poco antes que muere Alonso Cornejo I, que murio en Noviembre 1671, para mi el padrino es Alonso Cornejo II.

El tercer registro en la mano izquierda, de un Martin Diego, padres no conocidos, tiene de padrino Nicolas Cornejo.

En la mano derecha, el ultimo registro de un Tomas Esteban, 2 enero 1672 (fecha que es despues de la muerte de Alonso Cornejo I) los padrinos son Alono Cornejo II "y su hija Micaela Ramirez."

Chimalhuacán. Baptism Records 1654–1674

-En la mano derecha y el ultimo registro, de una Ynes padres no conocidos, en Abril 1665. Tiene de padrinos "Alonso Cornejo y Juana Cornejo espanoles." En mi opinion, los padrinos son Alonso Cornejo I y Juana Ines Cornejo.

Chimalhuacán. Baptism Records 1654–1674

-Joseph Vallejo con Micaela Ramirez 12 Feb 1673 registro de matrimonio. " con Michaela Ramírez vecina de este Pueblo de Atzumba hija de Alonso Cornejo II y de Francisca Serrano siendo testigos de su libertad y matrimonio."

Hola Edward, acá seguimos igual buscando documentos, gracias por compartirlos, yo también he encontrado algunos 

recientemente y estaba preparando más en forma lo que les comparto a continuación.

01- Documentos referentes a Alonso Cornejo (II) y Francisca Serrano (Rodríguez, Ramírez, Acosta):

Matrimonio de Andrés de Mondragón e Inés Ramírez (Hija de Alonso Cornejo y Francisca Ramírez Serrano) 1680

es la partida de abajo del lado izquierdo

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939X-2YH1-B?lang=es&i=156

Matrimonio de Nicolás de Gama y María Cornejo (Hija de Alonso Cornejo y Francisca Serrano) 1676

es la segunda partida del lado derecho

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939X-2YC4-7?lang=es&i=153

Testimonio de Alonso Cornejo (II) 1691

es el lado izquierdo con la declaración y firma de Alonso Cornejo (II) declara ser de 60 años por lo tanto ahora tenemos un año de 

nacimiento aproximado 1631, si era el mayor de los hermanos encaja muy bien que Alonso Cornejo (I) haya nacido 

aproximadamente en 1610 y refuerza mi personal opinión de que Alonso Cornejo (I) es un bisnieto de Martín López Osorio.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939X-QBNL-L?lang=es&i=407

02- Documentos referentes a Nicolás Cornejo y Miguel García del Castillo:

éstos documentos van para Rick ya que Edward, creo que no desciendes de Nicolás Cornejo (I) cierto?, corrígeme si estoy 

equivocado por favor :)

Registro de tierras de Nicolás Cornejo (I) 1685

comienza del lado derecho

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDX-2Q5G-7?lang=es&i=305

lo llamaré el primero para diferenciarlo de su sobrino nieto Nicolás Cornejo (II) hijo de su sobrino Antonio Cornejo Riojano

declara ser labrador de la Provincia de Chalco en terminos de Chimalhuacán Chalco

habla de dos haciendas de su propiedad llamadas la una El Jardín y la otra Tetela y menciona el nombre de su esposa

Doña Gertrudis de Ahumada, no declara su edad pero si firma el documento. Gertrudis de Ahumada no es nuestro antepasado y

ahora explico la razón, los hermanos Bartolomé y José Antonio García del Castillo que se casaron en Tepatitlán con dos hermanas

Herrera son hijos de Rosa Ramírez Cornejo y nietos de éste Nicolás Cornejo (I) pero deben de provenir de un primer matrimonio

con María Ortiz, ahora explico más.

Matrimonio de Juan García y Manuela Ortiz (Hija de Nicolás Cornejo (I) y María Ortiz) 1685

es la primera partida del lado izquierdo

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939X-QBF5-K?lang=es&i=458

fueron testigos del matrimonio su tío Marcos Cornejo (hermano de Alonso (II) y Nicolás (I)) y Juan Ramírez

digamos que Manuela Ortiz tenía más o menos 20 años, debió haber nacido aproximadamente en 1665 cuando su padre debía

contar con unos 30 años y su hermana Rosa Ramírez Cornejo supongo era menor y contrajo matrimonio aproximadamente

en 1697, Nicolás debió haber enviudado poco antes de 1681 año en el que comienza a apadrinar junto a su segunda esposa 

Gertrudis de Ahumada, gracias a éste matrimonio podemos saber eso y lo siguiente que expongo.

Bautismo de Miguel García del Castillo 1674

es la segunda partida del lado derecho

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9396-13QF-X?lang=es&i=376

así como los hermanos Bartolomé y José Antonio García del Castillo se casaron con dos hermanas, creo que el mismo fue el caso

de su madre Rosa Ramírez Cornejo y su hermana Manuela Ortiz (hijas de Nicolás Cornejo (I) y María Ortiz) al casarse con dos

hermanos, los dos apellidados García y los dos originarios de Amecameca donde varios hijos de Miguel García del Castillo y 

Rosa Ramírez Cornejo nacieron y donde ellos mismos murieron. en el matrimonio de Juan García y Manuela Ortiz él declara

ser originario del pueblo de Amecameca e hijo de Felipe García y Juana de Rivera, debido a eso y a que Miguel y Rosa tuvieron 

un hijo llamado igualmente Felipe quién contrajo matrimonio en Yautepec en el hoy Estado de Morelos me permite por ahora

pensar que Miguel García del Castillo y Juan García casados ambos con hijas de Nicolás Cornejo son hijos de Felipe García y

Juana de Rivera Cervantes.

Matrimonio de Felipe García y Juana de Rivera Cervantes 1662

es la segunda partida del lado izquierdo

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9396-B19Q-5V?lang=es&i=236

03- Comentarios finales:

Eso es todo por ahora, espero les sea de utilidad lo que puedo aportarles, al final terminamos siendo los 3 Cornejos me parece, 

nadie más siguió comentando aquí, les comparto unas pocas cosas antes de terminar.

el bautismo de un Francisco hijo de Nicolás Cornejo en 1641 del puesto de Tetela me parece recordar, podría ser hermano de la

madre de los Cornejo Juana Bautista y por ese hermano le habría puesto Nicolás a su hijo?, me parece probable.

en 1687 Antonio Vallejo declara ser casado con Isabel de Olvera y ser de edad de 66 años naciendo aproximadamente en

1621 muy cercano al 1625 que el señor González-Leal propone en Retoños, con ésta información me atrevo a pensar que 

Antonio Vallejo o Isabel de Olvera pudieron alguno ser hijo de Fernando de Gordíbar Osorio con alguna mujer antes de casarse o 

de un primer matrimonio, quizás nieto de Fernando de Gordíbar Osorio y Juana Bautista Cornejo por medio de una hija mayor 

que su hijo Alonso Cornejo (I) y por eso José quién casó con Micaela Ramírez Cornejo llegó a usar el apellido compuesto

"de Vallejo Osorio Gordíbar".

Referente al Capitán Fernando de Gordíbar Osorio

a la fecha no he encontrado algún documento que siquiera mencione su nombre, bautismo, matrimonio, registro de tierras, etc.

más que la información de nobleza de José Ramírez Cornejo, basandome en lo presentado en dicha información y 

descartando en mi opinión ser hijo de Martín López Osorio "el Mozo" y siendo Pedro, Agustín y Bartolomé López Ponce religiosos

el único candidato del cual descenderiamos todas las pequeñas hojas del gran tronco que son Alonso Cornejo (I) e Inés Ramírez

es Cristóbal Díaz de Osorio bautizado en 1545, al revisar de nuevo los méritos de Martín López Osorio disponibles en PARES

de 1544 - 1560 y pensándolo bien es mi personal opinión como les he aclarado siempre, que somos descendientes de 

Cristóbal Díaz de Osorio quién llevó el nombre que debió de llevar su abuelo Cristóbal Díaz Narices, sigue siendo sólo una 

hipótesis hasta no encontrar documentos que hagan la conexión explicita, les comparto un documento dónde Cristóbal 

declara que compró tierras a su nombre para su hermano el Licenciado Bernabé López Ponce, año 1579.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-63HD-Q?lang=es&i=696

igualmente con respecto a Antonio Cornejo Riojano creo que podemos atrevernos a creer que en efecto es hijo de 

Alonso Cornejo (II) y Francisca Serrano (Rodríguez, Ramírez, Acosta).

y por último les comparto éste testimonio en una información de nobleza en la Ciudad de Salamanca, año 1594.

es la parte de abajo del lado izquiedo

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS2G-1S8G-3?lang=es&i=1740

declara Don Alonso Cornejo de 60 años de edad, por las fechas y la ubicación, podría ser un probable abuelo o bisabuelo del

Alonso Cornejo del cual descendemos? se los dejo como un dato curioso, Saludos :)

Saludos y Muchisimas gracias Leo,


Todavia no reviso toda las lineas, pero tienes a “Jose Remigio Anastasio de la Mota Padilla”  como Anastacio de La Mota Padilla.    Jose Remigio Anastasio de la Mota Padilla Es su nombre completo.

Y un analysis de “DNA” (ADN) nos dice que Antonia Lomelin es India o mestiza porque La linea materna es india. Descendencia de Antonia Lomelin a mi madre son mujeres.

yo desciendo de Luis Padilla hijo de Anastasio y María Gertrudis, casado con Silveria López en Tepatitlán.

les comparto ésta información matrimonial de Juan José Cornejo (1716), declara ser hijo de Alonso Cornejo II y Francisca 

Rodríguez (Acosta o Serrano). el primer testigo de la información es un Vallejo seguramente relacionado con su hermana Micaela 

Ramírez-Cornejo

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939X-DH99-TW?lang=es&i=472

últimamente he estado investigando familia Sevilla y Flores de Aréchiga en Cocula, de Haro, Llerena y Ortega en Ameca. no sé si 

tengan ascendencia de esas familias que también compartamos.

referente a los Cornejo-Osorio les comento unas ideas que tengo sin algún documento aún, yo sigo pensando que Fernando 

de Gordívar Osorio era nieto y no hijo de Martín López Osorio, igualmente creo que de alguna forma José Vallejo Osorio Gordívar 

debería de ser un bisnieto del mismo Martín y primo de los Cornejo. y sobre los Osorio en Sevilla debido a lo poco que he leido 

del pleito de los hermanos García López Osorio, Bernardino Osorio y Cristóbal Díaz Narices, los testigos parecen ser muy viejos y 

dar información contradictoria unos y otros, podrían confundirse con los ascendientes, basandome en las fechas, el nombre del 

hermano mayor y el conocimiento que sobre la familia Osorio tengo, yo creo (aclaro que es mi opinión personal) que lo más 

probable sea que Martín Álvarez Osorio cc. Mariana López Narices sea hijo de García Álvarez Osorio y nieto de Álvar Pérez 

Osorio "El Bueno o El Cojo" cc. Mayor de Velasco de esa forma concuerdan las fechas si nació poco antes de 1406, así Cristóbal 

Díaz Narices su hijo podría haber nacido a mediados de 1400 y Martín López Osorio su nieto a finales de 1400, también he 

estado en la busqueda de algún documento que conecte a Juana Hernández esposa de Martín López Osorio con el Conquistador 

Cristóbal Hernández de Mosquera y Figueroa, pero sólo en un documento se menciona que Juana fue hija legítima del 

conquistador, si era su hija debió de nacer poco antes de que Cristóbal partiera a Cuba en 1516, cualquier nueva información se 

las haré llegar ahora que puedo estár mas al pendiente de los mensajes, espero que estén bien y les mando un saludo.

Comment

Muchas gracias Leo, espero que estén bien. Me alegra ver tu mensaje. Nunca recibí notificación y por casualidad me subí al sitio y miré tu mensaje. Gracias por la información de Alonso II que encontraste y todo sobre Los Osorio. Voy a digerirlo y luego a dedicar más tiempo para encontrar más información. Y si, estoy de acuerdo con tu opinión de Fernando de Gordíbar Osorio.

Leo y Rick,

Gracias por toda la informacion. Pienso que este es el registro de bautizo del mismo Joseph Cornejo 17 Mar 1660 (del record de matrimonio que compartiste), hijo de Alonso Cornejo II y Francisca Serrano.

What happened to Leonardo’s comments that had been posted in this thread?   I would like to study the documents regarding the common ancestors that I share with him that descend from Alonso Cornejo.   

Que paso con los comentarios de Leonardo?  Leonardo y yo somos primos lejanos y el encontro unos documentos que enseňan descendencia de dos hijos de Alonso Cornejo.   Yo quiero estudiar esos documentos.


Thank you Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Hi Rick,

Happy new year, hope all is well. Hmm, I am not sure, I see a comment from Dibleet (Leo) a few comments above this one, but that’s it. I’ll have to see on the other threads and see if there are any there…
What’s new, how have you been? I have not had much time to devote to the search recently and had been working on Antonio Cornejo Riojano last, where I was able to locate quite a lot of documents with him and his sons. Reading through those had slowed me down quite a bit, but they are fascinating. 


Thanks,


Edward

Hello Edward,

I would like to dig deeper into the Cornejo lineage and I need to fill some gaps.   We know that Juana Bautista Cornejo was from Salamanca.    We also can assume that her family was also prestigious as that surname was what was passed down instead of the prestigious Osorio surname.  There were at least two prestigious Cornejo lines in Salamanca that connected to two Doctor Cornejos.   Right now I am not sure if the two doctors were related.    We also have another clue as to the Cornejo family as we know that it also included a Francisco Cornejo that came over.    Right now I don’t know the family ties to this Francisco Cornejo.    Right now we only have leads to research but nothing solid on the ancestry of Juana Bautista Cornejo.   I also need to take a look at the document that Leonardo has that shows how my family tree is connected to Alonso Cornejo.    Hopefully Leo will see this post and realize that I need his help to continue this research. 

Rick A. Ricci

Saludos Edward y Leo,

Muchas gracias por la informacíon.   Ahora si hay documento conectando Nicolas Cornejo con su padre Alonso Cornejo.   

Tambien les quiero avisar que Mayor Velasco Tambien desciende de Osorio y Que Ella y Su esposo son primos lejanos.  

Tambien Diego Temino de Velasco es primo lejano de Mayor Velasco por lo Velasco.

Comment

Saludos a todos,

I was able to locate the death registration for Alonso Cornejo from 1671, the year it is believed he passed away. 

This leads me more and more to believe that there were two Alonso Cornejos, as we had discussed previously. The first, Alonso Cornejo(i) 1600-1671 who was married to Ines Ramirez. The second, Alonso Cornejo (ii) was his son and who is the one we see in so many of the birth registrations with Francisca. Also, Alonso and Francisca are in many registrations as witnesses well after 1671.

I will try and find some more evidence to support this theory.

Hello to everyone and buenas tardes a todos.

Aca seguimos en la busqueda de mas informacion sobre Alonso Cornejo. Encontre un documento muy interesante en el archivo general de la curia metropolitana de Mexico. Nombra a Alonso Cornejo y tambien algunos de sus hijos Pedro, Maria, Antonio, Marcos, Joseph. Esta en imagen 204, la pagina de mano derecha.

I came across this interesting document that lists Alonso Cornejo along with several of his children in the archivo general de la curia metropolitana de Mexico. Image 204, on the right-hand side, it has Cornejo names in 2 different columns.

Saludos a todos,

Gracias Leo, cómo estás? Como te va con las lluvias?? Si estoy de acuerdo con tu hipótesis, suena muy razonable de Alonso, Nicolás. Ojalá un día podemos buscar más pruebas. También estoy de acuerdo con Rick y pienso que son hermanos completos. Busqué en el Nobiliario si menciona quién es la madre de Martín Álvarez Osorio, por ahorita nomás mire que habla de los litigantes, los hijos de Martín Álvarez Osorio dice en la p.20. 

“JUAN MONDIN HIJODALGO DE EDAD NOVENTA, TESTIGO:  JUAN MONDIN VEZINO DE LA FELEGREGIA DE SANTA EUFEMIA DE VILLA MONTERO DEL COTO Y JURIDIGION DE LA CASSA DE LA VARRERA MI-JODALGO ã DIXO SER EL QUAL AUIENDO JURADO EN FORMA DE DERECHO DIXO SER DE HEDAD DE NOUENTA ANOS POCO MAS O MENOS Y Q NO LE TOCABAN LAS GENERALES Y QUE ESTE TESTIGO CONOÇE A GARÇI LOPEZ OSSORIO Y BERNARDINO OSSORIO Y CHRISTOUAL DIAZ LITIGANTES QUE SON HIJOS DE MARTIN ALBAREZ OSSORIO Y DE MARINA LOPEZ NARICES LIGITIMOS AUIDOS DURANTE EL SANTO MATRIMONIO LOS QUALES VIDO CASSAR EN LA GIUDAD DE SEUILLA EN LA COLLAGION DE SAN VIGENTE DE DONDE SON VEÇINOS NATURALES Y SAUEN SON NIETOS DE GARGIA ALBAREZ OSSORIO Y QUE SAUE Y VIDO NUNCA SE LE PIDIO TRIBUTO PECHO REAL NI CONSEJAL POR SER CAUALLEROS HIJOSDALGO DE TIEMPOS YMEMORIALES.”

Saludos Edward y Leonardo,

  Los dos hermanos recibierion la misma herencia en las propiedades que estan peleando.  Entonces para mi es claro que son hermanos completos.  Y para Edward informacion que el Busca, La madre Mayor Velasco tiene en su arbol de Rojas.


Y ellos no estan peleando enter ellos, pero para que regresen las propiedades por que no Debian impuestos.

No, thank you Rick for your work. I am pretty new to all this, so thank you for putting the pieces of the puzzle together, I just found some of the pieces haha. It is much appreciated. Not sure if you have the book, but I have a copy of the pdf book in my files along with a few others tidbits. I’m very very slowly making my way through the book. I did not know about that about Àlvaro and the Rioja connection! I will def look into that. 

Thanks again,

Edward

Comment

Saludos Edward,

Subject:  Mayor de Velasco

So according to what you posted, Mayor Velasco is the mother of Garcia Alvarez Osorio.  And we know from the lawsuit over the taxes on the inherited property from their father that Garcia Alonso Osorio and Martin Alvarez Osorio are full brothers sharing the same inheritance and same parents.  You also posted her parents as Pedro de Velasco, I Conde de Haro, and Maria Garcia de Sarmiento.   I already had Mayor’s parents as ancestors as her brother is my ancestor through my Padilla ancestry.

This Alvaro Perez de Osorio was a lord over the many regions, and  “La Rioja” was one of them. So may explain the Rioja/Riojano surname.   

Great work Edward,

Thank you,

Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Saludos Rick,

Yes, I think you’re right. With the info you provided of Isabel de Rojas, I began looking over the Los Osorio un Linaje de Mas de Mil Amos al Servicio de la Corona por Jaime de Salazar y Acha again and found the below on the two different Pedro Alvarez Osorio (there are several and hard to keep track of!) 

Please look at the Pedro XV below and XVIII. In the book, XV is the Pedro married to Maria Fernandez de Villalobos, father to Alvar Perez Osorio, father of our Martin Alvarez Osorio, who is the father of Cristobal Diaz Narices. 

Pedro XVIII is the one listed as marrying Isabel de Rojas. 

XIV .-JUAN ÁLVAREZ OSORIO, que fue Adelantado o Merino mayor del Reino de León y de Asturias desde el 30 de julio de 1315 y luego otra vezen sustitución de su hermano, hasta el 3 de enero de 1328<98>. El 1 de diciembre de 1300 recibieron él y su mujer, de Fernando IV, sus vasallos de Fuentes de Ropel<99). Casó con doña MARÍA FERNÁNDEZ DE BIEDMA, hija de Fernán Ruiz de Biedma, señor de Tevar y Ayo del Infante Don Felipe, y de doña María Páez de Sotomayor; fueron padres de: l.-Don PEDRO ÁLVAREZ OSORIO, del que continuaremos hablando, y 2.-Don ÁL VAR RODRÍGUEZ OSORIO, que todavía vivía en 1453. Casó con doña MARÍA FERNÁNDEZ DE SANDOV AL, que le hizo padre de don PEDRO ÁL V AREZ OSORIO el bueno,señor de Cabrera y Ribera, por merced de Don Juan I (Real Privilegio en Palencia el 5 de octubre de 1388), de cuyo matrimonio con doña CONSTANZA DE VALCÁRCEL, hija de Garci Rodríguez de Valcárcel y de doña Inés Fernández,descienden los Condes de Lemos, Grandes de España, cuya descendencia agnaticia se extinguió en 1600<100).

XV. -Don PEDRO ÁLVAREZ OSORIO, el mayor de los hijos, fue señor de Valderas, Fuentes de Ropel y otros lugares. Figura en el Libro Becerren 1351 corno señor en Berrueces, Valladolid<101). Era Adelantado mayor de tierra de León y Merino de Asturias<102), cuando el Rey Don Pedro mandó darle muerte en Villanubla<103) el 14 de noviembre de 1360(104). Había testado en Fuentes el 14 de junio de 1339, mandando sepultarse con sus padres en Santo Domingo de Benavente(to5). De su mujer doña MARÍA RODRÍGUEZ,señora de Villalobos, hija de don Ruy Gil, señor de Villalobos y Rico-hombre de Castilla, y de doña Teresa Alonso de Asturias(106), tuvo a: l. -GARCÍA ÁLVAREZ, que vivía en 1339 y debió de morir joven. 2.-ÁLVAR PÉREZ OSORIO, que sigue, 3.-Doña MARÍA OSORIO, señora de Berrueces, casada con PEDRO FERNÁNDEZ QUIJADA, y 4.-Doña EL VIRA OSORIO, señora de las Regueras, mujer de ARIAS PÉREZ, señor de Espejo; con sucesión.

XVI.-El hijo mayor, ÁLVAR PÉREZ OSORIO, Rico-hombre de León, siguió el partido trastamarista tras el asesinato de su padre, y sucedió a su abuelo materno.

Don Juan I, el 20 de mayo de 1390 le otorgó. Fue además, en marzo de 1377(108), Mayordomo mayor del Duque de Benavente, hijo del Rey. A este personaje, la Crónica del Rey Don Juan I, en su año noveno (1387), capítulo I, lo menciona como capitán de la hueste que se enfrentó a la del Duque de Lancaster y lo llama Alvar Pérez Osorio, que era un caballero de tierra de León muy poderosd). Fernán Pérez de Guzmán, en sus Generaciones e Semblanzas, dice de él:''fue un gran caballero en el Reyno de León e muy heredado en vasallos ... alto de cuerpo, feo e mal guarnido, de poca administración e or en su hacienda. De una dolencia que ovo de perlesfa quedó tollido del medio cuerpo, ansf que no podfa andar sino sufriéndose sobre otro. Fue mucho esforzado,franco e alegre, pero, como dicho es, de tan poco regimiento era en su casa, que menguaba mucho su estado, catodo su tiempo espendfa en burlar e aver placer. Murió en edad de setenta o ochenta affos "(llo).La fecha de su muerte fue el 9 de septiembre de 1406<11 1). Había testado en Astorga el 5 de diciembre de 1402<112 ).

Comment

Merging the two Pedro [  (18.)-  Pedro Alvarez de Osorio] has stayed on my mind.    I don’t feel comfortable merging the two.   I think more research needs to be done. From the nobilario and other records we do have lots of information, but I feel more research needs to be done before merging these two Pedro Alvarez Osorios.

We do know that Martin Alvarez Osorio and Garcia Alvarez Osorio are brothers and we know their fathers name, Alvaro Perez Osorio, grandfathers  name, Pedro Alvarez Osorio, and great grandfather’s name, Juan Alvarez Osorio; But the question that hovers over the whole situation is the names of the mother and grandmother.    I think we should look up more records to make sure we are making the right decisions as to their names

Saludos Edward y Leonardo,

I have the coat of arms of Martin Lopez Osorio.  The document even has an image of it     It is beautiful.

I also want to point out that more research is needed.    (Alvaro had children with his wife.  Right now I can’t confirm if we descend from her. More research is needed.)

Comment


Saludos Edward y Leonardo,

I wondered why the Riojano/Rojano (variation of De Rojas/de Riojas) would continue popping up with the surname Cornejo and not Osorio.     But now there is an answer to that.  This de Riojas/Rojas ancestry has a connection to the royal family.  The line descends from King Fernando III de Castilla aka “El Santo Rey”. They were as much nobility as the Osorio, if not higher. I’m at work on my dinner break   Tomorrow I will post an ancestral line to King Fernando III El Santo .

And as to dropping parts of the last name.   One of my lines is Alvarez Tostado but in the 1800’s we dropped the Tostado.  My father in laws grandfather was Alvarez Tostado but he dropped the Alvarez from the name and my father in laws surname was Tostado.  My Martin del Campo dropped the del Campo in the 1800’s and my mother in laws Martin del Campo ancestorschanged their surname to just Campos.

Ah that makes sense, especially if it’s a level of nobility that high, you would definitely want it to be known. I look forward to the Fernando III ancestral line info.

Yes, so true and well said about parts of last names being dropped. I guess it is more common than I thought. I see the Alvarez Tostado in my line that you mentioned. Well have a good night and thanks again.

Gracias, 

Edward

Wow thank you so much! There is so much I don’t know, especially with the Osorio lineage. I know you had mentioned you had studied them for some time and you’re right about the research being difficult due to the names being so similar! 
 

Very interesting about the Rojas info! My original working theory was that Antonio Cornejo Riojano had a different mother with the surname Riojano or that mother may have been from La Rioja region. Still curious, probably won’t ever know, that my line ended up changing the last name from Cornejo to Rojano in the mid 1800s. I guess they knew about the last name being in that line from Antonio..I thought maybe because 6. José Remigio Cornejo Tostado (also known as Remigio Rojano): born 30 September 1824 in Coca, Jalostotitlan, Jalisco; died 17 November 1892 in Ejutla, Jalisco, ended up marrying another Cornejo (María de Jesús García Cornejo).

Anyways, thanks again for the info. I will check out the book Anales de la Real Academia Matritense de Heraldica y Genealogia IV (1996-1997).

Thank you,

Edward

Saludos Leonardo y Edward,


After reading the nobilario, I had more questions in my mind that led me back to Leonardo’s and Edward’s questions regarding the Osorio ancestry, so I went back to my notes and did more research.   I had originally told Edward that I believed that the Rojano/Riojano surname came from a “de Rojas” ancestry in our Osorio line.  But when I went back to look at out ancestral line with Maria Fernandez de Villalobos as Pedro Alvarez de Osorio’s wife I couldn’t find the Rojas line.   Then Leonardo questioned the ancestry.  Those thoughts were lingering as a cloud as I read the nobilario.  So yes the line starts with Juan Alvarez Osorio and his wife Aldonza de Guzman, but the nobilario doesn’t mention the wives names of Pedro Alvarez Osorio and Alvar Perez Osorio.   So I did more research which is hard on this family because there were so many Rodrigo, Alvaro, and Pedro Osorios in the family.  And it turns out that I needed to merge some of the Pedro Alvarez Osorios that I had researched.     Pedro Alvarez Osorio, son of Juan Alvarez Osorio and Aldonza Guzman, had at least four wives.    The book Anales de la Real Academia Matritense de Heraldica y Genealogia IV (1996-1997) does not even list Maria Fernandez de Villalobos as one of his wives, but she is found in other documents as his wife.     But this book specifically states that Alvaro Perez Osorio is the son of one of his other wives, Isabel de Rojas (daughter of Martin Sanchez de Rojas III, Señor de Monzon, and his wife Elvira Manrique).   This book also says that Alvar Perez Osorio had children  with Isabel de Losada out of wedlock.

So the tree looks like this:

1.)- Juan Alvarez Osorio + 

2.)- Pedro Alvarez Osorio +

3.)- Alvar Perez Osorio + 

4.)- Martin Alvarez Osorio + Mariana Lopez Narices,   [ Martin has  brother named Garcia Alvarez Osorio]

5.)- Christóbal Diaz Narices + Estefanía Rodriguez

6.)- “el conquistador” Martin Lopez Osorio

Juan Cornejo and Josepha del Castillo are the parents of Francisca Cornejo del Castillo married to Nicolas Acosta on March 30, 1664 at Asuncion, Mexico, Districto Federal.  They are the parents of Gertrudis Cornejo de  Acosta baptized on June 27, 1663 in Centro, Distrito Federal, México.      Are they related to Francisca Acosta and Alonso Cornejo?


Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Hi Rick,

I am so glad Leo found that record with Antonio and Alonso.

I am pretty ignorant in regard to the people you mentioned. Juan Cornejo and Josepha del Castillo as well as their daughter Francisca  who married to Nicolas Acosta. Would you be able to fill me in? Thanks so much.

Edward

Comment

I went searching for other connections between the Cornejo and Acosta and that popped up.  It is in the same time period and I thought that it was more than just a coincidence. Do Nicolas and Alfonso have a brother named Juan Cornejo?

Comment

Ah ok, I see. That’s a good idea. I agree that it seems like more than just a coincidence. I am sure Alonso must have had several siblings, but it seems like Alonso is one that is mostly known. We will definitely have to explore and research that. 

Thank you,

Saludos Edward,

I saw that someone had already added the Osorio lineage to the Cornejo line on familysearch.  I haven’t checked it all out yet but I did find one common mistake.  Many genealogists have mistaken two cousins with the same name and the same title.    I am sending you an explanation of the mistake and the right lineage.   

Giron to Fernandez de Villalobos

I. Gonzalo Rodríguez Girón (b. 1160) de Fernando III recibe el señorío de Autillo en 1221. Casó con Sancha Rodríguez

II. Gonzalo González Girón, canciller mayor de Fernando III. Casó con Teresa Arias Quesada, hija de Arias González de Quesada y de María Froilaz.

III. Berenguela González Girón, señora de Autillo, quien casó con Lope Ruiz de Haro, el chico, II señor de La Guardia y de Bailén, hijo de Lope Díaz de Haro III, señor de Vizcaya y de Urraca de León.

IV. María Díaz de Haro, señora de Autillo, casó con Ruy Gil de Villalobos, señor de Villalobos.

[Aquí es donde seguimos dos líneas. Ruy Gil De Villalobos y María Diaz De Haro tienen dos hijos, Gil Ruiz de Villalobos y Lope Ruiz de Villalobos, que tienen nietos del mismo nombre, Fernan Ruiz de Villalobos. El mayor hijo, Gil tiene un hijo Ruy que es el padre de su nieto Fernan Ruiz de Villalobos que se casó con Inés de la Cerda. Muchos dicen que este Fernan es el señor de Autillo. Pero sus hijos mueren antes de el. El primo legítimo más cercano es su primo segundo del mismo nombre.

Here it is as a chart:

María Díaz de Haro, señora de Autillo, casó con Ruy Gil de Villalobos, señor de Villalobos.

Their two sons Lope and Gil each have a grandson named Fernan Ruiz de Villalobos

1)- Lope Ruiz de Villalobos 

casó con Berenguela Perez de Castaneda

                    1)  Gil Ruiz de Villalobos

2) -Rodrigo López  de Villalobos 

(aka Rodrigo Perez de Villalobos)

I am also interested in this family. I have been stuck for years trying to find primary source information on the parents of Antonio Ramirez Cornejo Riojiano, who was married to Maria Jimenez Hurtado Mendoza

Comment

Hi Rick,

Yes I have followed the family and discussions for years. I think it was Jaime Holcombe's letters where it was mentioned someone found the Limpieza that connected the dots, revealing Antonio's parents. I personally like to see primary source documents when feasible before I add anything to my tree and I have yet to, so it will have to wait.

Hello 245luigi,

Yes, I have found bits here and there on Antonio Cornejo Riojano or Rioxano; however, not a lot. I will be focusing my search on him and the Cornejo family. Hopefully we can get some definitive answers about his ancestry and for me personally, about the surname Riojano. Any info or suggestion is appreciated. I will report back any findings.

Thanks,

is there some place i can learn how to use it.. i have been playing around with it.. but i feel perhaps i need to download it and then copy paste to gemini

Also would i need the Pro version of Gemini .. Thanks 

Comment

David,

While the request has already been fulfilled, I came here to add that if you have Gemini active in the same window where the image is, it will transcribe the writing for you. I've been using it for help with documents from 1400 and 1500 and has save me hours! It can transcribe a page in seconds, where the task is all but fruitless for me. 

Here's the result for your situation:

"En la Yglia. Parrochial. de Matatlan en siete dias del mes de Dic.re de mil setecientos y sesenta y dos a.s. Baptize solemnem.te a Lazaro Mariano hijo legitimo de Juan de la Serna, y Magdna Mendes fueron sus Padrinos Juanchin Bapt.a y Maria Manla. a quienes amoneste su oblig.on y espiritual parentesco: todos de naturaleza y vec. de dha Cavec.a y para q. conste lo firmo."

I then asked Gemini to translate it into "modern" English (you can do the same into Spanish):

"In the Parish Church of Matatlán, on the seventh day of the month of December, seventeen sixty-two, I solemnly baptized Lazaro Mariano, the legitimate son of Juan de la Serna and Magdalena Mendez. His godparents were Juanchín Baptista and María Manuela, whom I instructed regarding their obligations and spiritual kinship. All are natives and residents of this administrative center; and in witness whereof, I sign it."

After an absence of several years, I am slowly trying to return to genealogy.  (Emphasis on slowly.)  In the meantime I would like to share some research by giving you access to my Dropbox account.  Some of these files will be familiar (the Jaime Holcombe letters that Ophelia Marquez and I compiled in the 1990s;  the San Luis Potosi testament reports; my research of Juan Montanez, Maria de las Ruelas, Galvan de Rojas and others; the Christmas letters to my relatives where I "gifted" ancestors; etc.). There are also a few Family Group Sheets prepared pre-internet. It's a hodgepodge of data that may help someone.  Just click on the link below.

I ask one favor of you.  When you find an error (or two), please let me know.  Thanks,

The Hernández de Arellano family

As I have shared in other media, a Toribio Hernández de Arellano from Salamanca is documented, whose brother Sebastián initiated litigation concerning his nobility on May 15, 1557. Following Sebastián's death in 1568, his widow and children continued the legal proceedings. Significantly, the presence of the Sánchez surname within their lineage may account for its recurrence among Toribio's immediate descendants.

Sebastián Hernández de Arellano "El Viejo" was a resident of the parish (colación) of San Isidro in Salamanca. He held estates (hacendado) in the municipalities of Villares de la Reina, Castellanos de Moriscos, and Villamayor. He initiated a lawsuit to assert his noble status (hijodalgo) after being appointed to the position of procurador, an office typically associated with commoners (pecheros), which he argued was incompatible with his noble standing.

The relevant legal file (Sala de Hijosdalgo. Caja 0774.0035. Real Chancillería de Valladolid) records testimony stating that

Toribio Hernández de Arellano constitutes a sizable portion of our family's ancestry as we descend from 3 of his daughters (through multiple lines, and probably a 4th daughter as well, just not conclusively proven, yet). So I'm extremely grateful to you, Erik, for providing this information about Toribio and his ancestry.

Best regards,

Saludos Erik Andres Reynoso, 

I’m curious as to whether you were able to compare the Toribio Hernandez signature on:

(bottom right): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-63GH-8?i=422&cat=…


With the signature that you have from the Torbio Hernandez de Arellano from Salamanca, son of “Sebastián Hernández (arrendador), and Águeda Sánchez”.


Thanks,

Another wonderful analysis, Erik Andrés, thank you for sharing. I recall you sharing this information in your forum, and I followed it closely, since this family is also among my ancestors. I’ve also followed your posts regarding this family, Rick, thanks again!

If you don’t already have the signature of Toribio Hernández with which you can make comparisons, in a land & water document dated 26 Sep 1590, in Villa de los Lagos, one of the witnesses presented was Toribio Hernández, and he left his signature and gave his age as “mas de cincuenta años” (bottom right): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-63GH-8?i=422&cat=…

He was also presented as a witness on 4 Apr 1570 in Lagos, in the proceso del Santo Oficio contra Pedro Nuñez; at the time, he held the office of regidor and he gave his age as “mas de 40 años”; unfortunately, these files are currently restricted: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSD2-QQN1-2?i=41&cat=3…

Thank you both for your work, and I look forward to updates!

Hello Rick,

Key testimonial evidence from this case includes the deposition of the wife of Sebastián, Isabel Rodríguez. The primary sources for these documents are as follows:

The central challenge in this genealogical inquiry is the definitive identification of Toribio, who served as alcalde in Santa María de los Lagos. At present, only a document originating from the Audiencia of Nueva Galicia would provide conclusive evidence to determine if this individual is the same Toribio from the Hernández de Arellano family of Salamanca or the one that you reference from Aragón.

This identification is further complicated by parallel lineages. The 1599 Pase a Indias of Francisca de Arellano—wife of Agustín de Contreras, daughter of Inés de Zamora and Pedro Hernández de Arellano, and granddaughter of another Pedro Hernández de Arellano and his wife Francisca Hernández, all from Seville—introduces a contemporaneous family with similar last names (PARES | Archivos Españoles).

A promising avenue for identifying Toribio emerges from the records of the Tercer Concilio Provincial Mexicano (Third Mexican Provincial Council). Within this collection exists the "Memorial de Lagos" dated July 1, 1585. This document mentions Toribio as Alcalde of Santa María de los Lagos, alongside regidores Diego Pérez and Diego Gómez. The memorial states that the officials granted power of attorney to Hernando de Burgos, a deputy from the mines of Zacatecas, to represent them in a petition to the Archbishop of Mexico and Bishop Fray Domingo de Alzola of Nueva Galicia. This was necessary because "El alcalde Hernández" was indisposed and unable to leave the villa.

I have obtained a transcription and an image of the signatures of Diego Gómez and Diego Pérez from this document. However, the complete legajo containing the memorial must be requested to ascertain if Toribio’s signature is present. A comparative analysis of his signature, once located, would be instrumental for his identification in future documents.

Best,

Erik

Saludos Erik,


Here is a description given at the website of the sword:

“Se sabe que Sebastián Hernández “el Viejo”, labró en Toledo a finales del siglo XVI, según se desprende de los inventarios del príncipe D. Carlos, hijo del rey Felipe II.

Según la lista de Palomares, seguía viviendo en 1637. Curioso pomo muy similar al nº 47 del libro de Norman y que fue utilizado entre 1545 y 1640.

  • GUARNICIÓN: de lazo de hierro dorado. Tiene siete guardas y dos patillas al recazo. Los gavilanes son planos, calados y vueltos en sentido contrario, con un escusón de pico en el centro. También plano y con el mismo calado, es el aro o guarda que llega hasta el pomo. Puño de madera ahusado y alambrado con una pequeña virola en la parte superior. Recazo con vaciado para el pulgar. El pomo es cónico, con dos resaltes macizos y otros dos planos y calados. Luce perilla con cuatro lados.
  • HOJA: recta. En el tercio fuerte, tres canales con la inscripción repetida de la marca de Hernández “el viejo” y el resto a dos mesas. Toda ella a dos filos hasta la punta.
  • INSCRIPCIÓN: DE SEBASTIAN HERNANDEZ TOLEDANO”

  • The sword was said to belong to Sebastian Hernandez El viejo, and it has his inscription on the sword, but I believe that the Sebastian Hernandez that was living in Toledo and in possession of it in 1637 was his son, Sebastian Hernandez El moso.

You can find a picture of a sword belonging to a Sebastian Hernandez, El Viejo here:

Saludos Erik,

Thank you for sharing your information on Toribio Hernandez Arellano.   As I continued researching the Toribio Hernandez Arellano from the Golluf family, the cloud over that research has been not ever finding the definitive piece of evidence that they were the same people.  Though I thought that it was a only a possible match I continued researching the Golluf/Sanchez family and adding information on their genealogy. 

Thanks again for sharing these findings,

Possible Toribio Hernandez Arellano ancestry

Toribio Hernandez Arellano Sanchez

Comments

Comment

Erik Andres Reynoso has posted information on his research into the ancestry of Toribio Hernandez Arellano. His information has a different ancestry than the Toribio of the Golluf family, and also fits the timeline. 
 

1.)- Marcos Hernández, aka Marcos Vizcaíno., [ doublet-maker (jubetero)] married to Francisca Sánchez,

2.)-  ↑ Luis Hernández (alcalde de la Santa Hermandad) married to Isabel Sierra.

3.)- ↑ Sebastián Hernández, [ landlord, (arrendadero)] married to Águeda Sánchez

4.)- ↑ Toribio Hernandez Arellano


Although I have presented a different possibility with the Golluf ancestry, I am leaning towards the lineage that is presented by Erik.  He wrote the following:

“It is documented that a Toribio Hernández de Arellano departed for the Indies in 1549 (PARES, having obtained a license issued in Valladolid by officials of the Casa de la Contratación in Seville) and that he is named in a partition of inheritance (hijuela) in Salamanca alongside his siblings. These individuals constitute the known members of the Hernández de Arellano family from Salamanca.”

We won’t know if this is the correct lineage until we can compare signatures.

I had originally written the following paragraph

“Dr Abraham Haim put the the piece that said our Sanchez line descended through Juan Sanchez de Calayatud (aka Isaac Golluf aka Açach Golluf el menor) and not his brother Pedro Sanchez de Calayatud. I knew that Toribios grandfather Alonso Sanchez descended from Alazar Golluf but had originally thought that the descent was though his son Pedro. Dr Haim is the highest authority on these matters so if he says that he descends from Isaac Golluf (Juan Sanchez) then I will go along with him.”


 

Corrections:
 

  • After looking at these additional records, I believe that I made a mistake to defer to Dr. Abraham Haim.  The additional records used to come to this conclusion are the multiple records of the lawsuits between Açach  Golluf el menor (aka Juan Sanchez de Calatayud), his brothers, his ex-wife, his stepmother over the inheritance from his father, Alazar (Eleazar) Golluf.     I should not have differed to Dr. Abraham Haim and other genealogists.  I should have stuck to the records that I found.

Another mistake was a confusing record that left me thinking that Abraham was the youngest of the brothers and that he was the youngest brother that changed his name to Pedro Sanchez de Calatayud.   That brought a lot of confusion when other records showed that Açach  Golluf “el mayor”, their grandfather changed his will and replaced Açach Golluf “el menor” with Abraham Golluf because he was very upset that Açach el menor had converted to Catholicism.  I mistakenly then assumed that Jehuda was the youngest because of a record that named Abraham and his younger brother Jehuda.  Jehuda was younger than Abraham, but he wasn’t the youngest.             

  • The second correction: The youngest of the brothers that converted was not Abraham or Jehuda, it was Samuel Golluf aka Pedro Sanchez de Calayatud.  This is important as the line that I primarily focus on descends from Samuel Golluf.

The source for making these corrections are the many records involving the lawsuits between the family members over Açach Golluf el menor’s, (akaJuan Sanchez de Calatayud) inheritance from his father.  His dispute was with his stepmother and his ex-wife who divorced him when he converted to Catholicism. Another lawsuit was against his in-laws for attempting to kill him by poisoning him.

  • The third correction to my previous post is to add some of the wives’ names.
  • The fourth correction is that I also added two more  generations as I go further back in the family tree .

As to the inheritance lawsuit, It was a messy dispute because the Queen was also involved as she too was owed money by Açach’s father and the Queen was unaware that she running low in cash and that Açach’s father Alazar (Eleazar) Golluf had borrowed against some of her possessions in order to provide the Queen with the expensive  lifestyle she had become accustomed to.   And for a long time it looked as Juan Sanchez (Açach Golluff El menor) was not going to receive his inheritance that he had been promised both by his father and by the King and Queen. The bulk of the estate was going to go to his stepmother and his ex-wife who are sisters. What made this even more complicated was that  the judge assigned to the legal case by the queen was the father of his stepmother and his wife.  This obvious bias against him seemed like it would doom his case.  But in the end a document was found that proved that his father had clearly changed his will so that Açach El menor  would inherit the bulk of his estate and not Açach’s stepmother.   
 

The house of David, the same house as Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.

Two additional generation is added as the father of Solomon is Jehuda Golluf and his grandfather Jucé Golluf.

1.) Jucé Golluf

2.) ↑ Jehudá Golluf and his second wife, Mira   They have two sons, Jucé Golluf and Solomon Golluf.

3). ↑ Solomon Golluf (caballero, resident of Barcelona, adelantado de la aljama de Zaragoza entre 1328 y 1330) (b. abt 1295). He had at least two marriages.  From his first marriage he had a son named Abraham. From his second marriage to Astruga, daughter of Samuel Abnarrabí y Cetí, he had Samuel.

4). ↑ Samuel Golluf (resident of Avignon) married to Bonastruga (Bona Astruga) daughter of Nahir Suxen.

Siblings : Azach (Açaqui) Golluf & Rebeca Golluf (her fame: beauty and can sing)

5). ↑ “Azach (Açaqui) Golluf el mayor” d. 9 de abril de 1391 and his wife Oro Xaprut (daughter of Azach (Ishaq) (Açach Xaprut)(Shaprut). He passed away one day after changing his will.   Azach Xaprut, Oro’s father is the son of Yosef Xaprut, (one source claims that Joseph Amali is Oro's father and that her name is Oro Amali but I have a evidence that explains why I believe this is a mistake. Oro Xaprut should not be confused with other members of the family named Oro or Orosol.  Açach Golluf and Oro Xaprut have multiple residences located in Avignon, France, and in Barcelona, and Zaragosa. 

6.) ↑Alazar (Alatzar, Eleazar) Golluf Iben David miembro de una ilustre y antigua familia de Zaragoza (d. 1389). Alazar had multiple wives.  The wife that is mother to his four sons Açach El menor (aka Juan Sanchez de Calatayud), Abraham, Jehuda, and Samuel (aka Pedro Sanchez) is named Joheví de Quatorze, daughter of Açach Quatorze de Tereul.  Alazar’s last wife,  Mira Almali, daughter of Jusé Almali 
Alazar Golluf was a cousin to Todric Ha Levi family, all descendants of the house of David
Alazar Golluf, miembro de una ilustre y antigua familia de Zaragoza, fue tesorero del rey don Juan I de Aragón y de su esposa Violante. Su alta posición le permitió ocuparse de los asuntos de la población judía incluso fuera de los límites de la aljama donde habitaba. De la casa de David. I don't know if the descent from david is through a paternal or maternal line.

Alazar Golluf is Treasurer of the Queen Violante of Aragon and the most prominent Jewish courtier at the time in Aragon. Alazar Golluf had a sister named Astruga  Golluf who married twice, first to Jento Ymano who left her a young widow after giving her a son by the name Manuel, in her second marriage she married into the prominent Alazar family. Alazar had another sister, Dueña Alazar that also married into this family, her husband was named Salomon Alazar.

[Tom Tov ben Hannah (Abenhanya), a scribe of the Jewish community of Montalban wrote a description of Alazar Golluf's death as a tragedy for all Aragonese Jews. In his letter he wonders who will defend the Jews of Aragon:

"Woe to us! Who can stand before the sons of kings;

To cast light before the face of he who walked in darkness;

And to open, in straits, blind eyes?;

Who can express [his] mighty acts;

With enemies at the gate, a voice on high?

For this our heart is faint,

Our dance has turned into mourning;

We have brought down as a ghost out of the ground;

Our voice is lower than low, a still voice;

Who can stand up to repair the breach;

And to complete that which is wanting without number,

Among the wretched Jews;

Who have lost their value, high of stature hewn down."]
 

6)↑ Samuel Golluf who changed his name to “Pedro Sanchez de Calayatud “ when he converted to Catholicism (aka Pedro Sanchez I) (title:Caballero), married to Alfonsina Baron (o Varon)
His title of Caballero brought many advantages to his grandsons. His title allows his grandsons to "gosar de todos los privilegios y inmunidades que descendientes de caballeros y hidalgos acostumbran gosar los caballeros y hidalgos en el presente reino de Aragon".{5}
 

Caballero Pero (Pedro) Sanchez I and Alfonsina Baron are the parents of:

7) ↑ Pedro (Pero) Sanchez (II) married to Blanquina Palau
This a family of "comerciante ennoblecidos por el servicio a la Monarquia de Aragon.

Pedro Sanchez and Blanquina Palau have many children. Among the many children are Gabriel Sanchez, Francisco Sanchez, Guillen Sanchez, Luis Sanchez, Francisca Sanchez Caverllaria, Alfonso Sanchez (he is our ancestor), and others. There are many children and they have interesting stories that are recorded in history that I will add later). Gabriel and Alonso are friends of Christopher Colombus. They knew each other because of Christopher Colombus's father, Domenico Colonne who was also a merchant that exported throughout the same area that Alfonso was involved in business. A nephew of Alfonso Sanchez is Rodrigo Sanchez de Soegovia who, among others, convinced Christopher Colombus that it was financially prudent to make slaves of the Indians in order to sell them. Rodrigo was on the first trip as veedor (inspector). Juan de San Pedro Sanchez (a brother or nephew, depending on the source) was also involved and convicted of the conspiracy to assassinate Pedro Abreus. {5}{6}{7}

8) ↑ Alfonso Sanchez (II) Palau. Aka (Alonso Sanchis) (b.1481) (d.3/June/1522) married to Leonor Dalmau
"Uno de los mayores operadores mercantiles" from Greece through all of the Mediterranean to Portugal and north to Ireland, England, France and north of France.
There are two main stories for Alfonso but he is also in many business records. The first, and false, allegation is that he is involved, with family members in the conspiracy to assassinate the inquisitor, and later saint, Pedro of Abreus. But it wasn't him, it was his relative with the same name who was a jurist. The second story is also important, and it is about how he is involved in a totally illegal sale of grains, while the people are hungary in Aragon, and to top it off he mixes old rotting grain to the good grain to make even more money. In both stories King Ferdinand protects him though there is obvious guilt in the second scandal and suspicion in the first.
They only had a son and a daughter. The son is:
 

9) ↑ Miguel Sanchez Dalmau (d.1538) married to Isabel Hernandez de Hijar y Ramirez de Arellano.
They had at least two sons. The eldest, Alfonso Sanchez (III) Hernandez was named after his paternal grandfather and took over his business and position as lugarteniente tesorero. Toribio was a younger son. Toribio may have come over with another sibling that went to what is now New Mexico but this is only a theory with a high probability due to all the pieces of the puzzle that have so far been collected.
 

10) ↑ Toribio Hernandez de Arellano 
 

It is important to remember that it is only a possibility, and not a probability, that The two Toribio Hernandez, the son of Miguel Sanchez Dalmau and Isabel Hernandez de Hijar and the Toribio Hernandez that is married to Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza are the same person, I have not found the definitive proof.  

But I did have success in identifying the Diego Hurtado de Mendoza that was written that he is the father of Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza married to Toribio.  There are still two issues with confirming the father of Isabel. The first issue is that I don’t have that document that states Diego Hurtado de Mendoza is her father    I would like to get that document in my hands, but no one has informed me where that document is, only that it exists. The second issue is the date that Diego Hurtado de Mendoza comes over to Nueva Galicia from Spain. It is documented when he comes over under the employ of the bishop.  But it seems that he had already been in Nueva Galicia before but I can’t find any information on the previous crossing.  He would of have had to come over previously in order to have fathered Isabel Mendoza in Nueva Galicia as Isabel Mendoza marries Toribio Hernandez de Arellano not long after Diego Hurtado de Mendoza’s voyage over with the bishop. Diego’s previous trip from Spain would have been in the employ of the viceroy Mendoza.

The ancestry of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, the stated father of Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza, takes an entire chapter in my book, Mygenes2000

Sorry Jorge that I hadn’t responded earlier.    I will soon post an update on the Golluf / Sanchez de Calatayud family and the ancestry of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza that one document states was the father of Isabel de Mendoza.     I also have cleared up the confusion as Pedro Sanchez de Calatayud original Hebrew name.  I will be posting this information soon.

Comment

Rick,
As you mentioned in another post, Toribio's wife, Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza is not the daughter of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza y Pacheco (who never came to Mexico) and this screws up the genealogy of a lot of people.
I have been looking for the possible parents of Isabel and found one possibility in Diego Hurtado de Mendoza y Aragon (1500-1566) and Maria Mendoza Fonseca (1510-1554).
Are these the real parents of Isabel?
Anothe candidate I have been thinking about is Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, son of Rodrigo Hurtado de Mendoza (1479-?) who was a illegitimate son of Iñigo "el Gran Tendilla" Lopez de Mendoza y Quiñones and Inés de Tapia. Isabel would be the daugther of Inés del Valle y Leyva.

Another question: where could I buy your books?
Best regards.
Jorge

Comment

Mr Ricci,
In #3 you say, " Azach (Acaqui) Golluf and his wife Oro (daughter of Azach (Ishaq) Xaprut)".
The last line of #4 says, " Alcazar Golluf and Oro Xaprut are the parents of...".
I think I'm missing something.

Jaime Oceguera

Comment

Hello Mr Ricci,
thank you for your reply and for clearing that up.

I have another question if I may. In the middle of #'s 5 & 6 the paragraph starts with this, " {Isaac has a younger brother Alazar "el menor" named after his paternal grandfather who is called "el Mayor"...", but isn't their paternal grandfather Azach?
I thought Alazar/Altazar/Alcazar was their father.

I'd also like to thank you for something else. I thought I knew/understood a fair amount of what was happening to the Jews in Spain during this era. After reading your posts on Toribio's ancestry, it sparked a greater interest on the subject. After further reading, ( I'm on my second book ), I realized I knew/understood very little, so thank you for that.

Jaime Oceguera

Comment

Dear Jaime,

I fixed that mistake in a later post: Isaac Golluf And Azach "el menor" Golluf are the same person. The youngest brother is named Abraham Golluf (aka Abran Gulluf) and he is the one that ultimately inherited his grandfathers assets. There is another Alazar in the family and many people confuse the two Alazars. It is because of the other Alazar that many people have made erroneous family trees. I clear that up in my book.

I have studied the Jews in Spain for many years, read many books, yet I am often surprised by interesting new information about them and what they went through. Last year I was surprised to learn that many Jews had family members become seminarians and priests so that the family would not get in trouble for being in possession of the religious text.

Another fact that surprised me was the turmoil within the Jewish community between conversos and those that stayed Jewish. Some of them became very angry at each other. Isaac’s brother in laws tried to poison him for converting. Many Jews that truly converted found themselves often accused of going to far and becoming Lutherans because they still were interested in studying scripture when the average catholic left the religious studies to the clergy. It is a subject that has much material to study.

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci
P.S. Go Dodgers!!!

I had previously posted the following paragraph:

"Dr Haim put the the piece that said our sanchez line descended through juan Sanchez de calayatud (Isaac Golluf) and not his brother Pedro Sanchez de Calayatud. I knew that Toribios grandfather Alonso Sanchez descended from Alazar Golluf but had originally thought that the descent was through his son Pedro. Dr Haim is the highest authority on these matters so if he says that he descends from Isaac Golluf (Juan Sanchez) then I will go along with him."

The latest as of January 11, 2017:
Even though Dr. Haim is considered by many to be THE expert on Sephardic genealogy, I have been unable to confirm his statement that Alfonso Sanchez (II) descends from Johan Sanchez Calatayud/Isaac Golluf. Theoretically it is possible, but it is a tight fit and my original conclusion that the Pedro Sanchez married to Alfonsina Baron is Johan/Isaac's brother is still a possibility based on the pieces that I have. I had originally repeated the information from a secondary source that Pedro the brother was originally named Jehuda (Judah). A more reliable secondary source, that contains accurate information that I have found elsewhere, states that the brother Pedro's original name is Samuel Golluf, like Eleazar's grandfather that lived in France.

What this leads me to believe is that there are two Pedro Sanchez de Calatayud, one the brother, (Samuel) and the other Isaac's son Jehudah (Judah) who also took the name Pedro Sanchez de Calatayud. Due to the timeline I still believe that it is possible that our Alonso (II) Sanchez descends from the Pedro that is the brother. There is no question about the descent from Eleazar (Alatzar) Golluf as that is a given.

There are court records that will illuminate us as they name the members of the family and describe the disputes within the family. I just need to track down the location of the court records to find out for sure whether our Pedro is the son or grandson of Eleazar Golluf.

Until we find out for sure, I still defer to Dr. Haim as he is acknowledged to be the
World's biggest expert on Sephardic genealogy.

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

Many of the founding families of Nueva Galicia came from noble families. But most of them were younger siblings that did not inherit much from their parents. Many of their parents themselves had been younger members of their families. Many of these younger members had married convers who brought much needed wealth into the family. If the conversos were from the house of David it was easier to claim to be cristiano viejo as this lineage was considered to be Mary's ancestry. The Pope even made a proclamation that they could claim cristiano viejo status. Even a king of Spain made his own proclamation regarding this subject . It was important to him as he too descended from converses from the house of David.

So what this means that the study of the genealogy of these founding families gets a little tricky as we cross the Atlantic because the families were under a lot of pressure to show cristiano viejo status due the turmoil of the inquisition. Tricky because most of the new settlers were younger siblings who inherited little, and many of their parents had themselves been younger children from large families that inherited little. In addition, many had one grandparent or great grandparent that had converso roots. These converso grandparents may have just converted or they themselves were grandchildren or great grandchildren of a converso. Life was much easier in those times if you were quiet about converso roots in the family so many times family records were destroyed to hide the evidence.

The Sanchez Golluf family is a public and private family as many members converted before the forced conversions while many others refused to convert until they were forced to. In the years between the free conversions and the forced conversions there was much turmoil in the family as their family had come from the highest class levels given to Jewish families. In the turmoil of the conversions was also the turmoil of some family members being rich while others were relatively poor. The religious status of the Sanchez Golluf went from the truly converted, to the lukewarm converted, to the combination of practicing both religions, to the faking conversion but remaining Jewish in private, to the Jewish that refused to convert. Since they were of the house of David, many descendants claimed cristiano viejo status, while others did not realize that they could claim this and suffered in the inquistion. After a big Scandal in the family, many of the family members moved to Italy, Portugal and other places. The ones that went to Italy became very successful when they became partners in a bank that they created and managed. The inquistion often tried to follow these families. Sometimes money and influence saved them torture and death. Some of the Sanchez family came along with the Cuevas And Carbajals to the Americas. After a few years the inquistion followed them over here to again accuse some descendants of keeping the Jewish faith or of converting too far and joining the Lutheran faith.

Mr. Ricci,

you mention that many of the founding families that came to nueva galicia were noble. which families have noble connections?

Hola Richard:

Hace tiempo estudié la familia Carvajal, pues desciendo de Don Juan de Carvajal "El Viejo" conquistador de México. Fue copiloto de Jerónimo Ruiz de la Mota en un bergantín en la batalla de Tenochtitlan.

La rama que pasó a Nuevo León es posterior, del siglo XVII, sin embargo parece haber existido alguna conexión lejana entre estas dos ramas.

Buscando encontré un señalamiento en el sentido que Don Luis de Carvajal desciende de los Señores de Jódar, Jaen, a través de un Don Álvaro de Carvajal, pero no se cita ninguna fuente.

¿Sabes si Don Luis desciende de los Señores de Jódar?

Saludos

Marcelina

Comment

Hola Marcelina/Fabiola,

Si es cierto que Alvaro Carvajal tiene parentesco con los señores de Jodar. Su hermano, y padre eran señores de Jodar, pero el no. Juan De Carvajal es pariente de Luis Carvajal pero no se la exacta relación. No te respondí inmediatamente por falta de tiempo. Tardo más en escribir en español cuando tengo que traducir lo que ya escribí en inglés. En vez de esperar más tiempo te mando la respuesta en inglés. Después te mando la traducción en español.

Juan Carvajal is called a relative Of Governor Luis Carvajal (el mozo) but I don’t know the exact relationship. He traveled at least a couple of times between Spain and Mexico. Juan was a soldier. He learned the Indian languages from his first trip to Mexico. He worked as a translator for Luis Carbajal. If he is the same Juan Carvajal that was a conquistador in Tenochtitlán then he must have been very young when he first came over. He was called “viejo” when he worked for Luis Carbajal, so it is possible, but I am not certain. What i do know is that this Juan Carvajal had spent many years previously in Mexico learning the Indian languages and that he had been a soldier.

[Luis Carbajal (el mozo) is also related to the Cueva line that I studied when researching my Garibai Soto. Cueva Pantoja line.
There is also a relationship to the Carvajals that are related to Ruy Diaz De Mendoza who is also my ancestor. This Ruy Diaz de Mendoza has a different ancestral family tree than the Ruy Diaz De Mendoza that most Mexican/Texan genealogists use. The two Ruy Diaz De Mendoza’s were related, and both left descendants in Mexico it seems, but genealogists have mistaklenly identified as sisters the daughters of the different Ruy Diaz De Mendoza’s so they then follow the ancestral tree of only one of them. The daughters of the two Ruy Diaz De Mendozas should have been identified as sisters-in-law instead of sisters. This error causes confusion as it seems one Ruiz Diaz De Mendoza had only one daughter. They are also not too distant cousins. The Ruy Diaz De Mendoza genealogy and my Cueva Carbajal Pantoja genealogy are a book in itself so I will leave that to my book.]

1. Alonso Carvajal and Catarina Carvajal. Alonso is brother to Luis Carbajal señor De Jodar. Alonso and Catarina are parents of Francisca Carvajal.

2. Francisca De Carvajal (d June 1558) married to Gutierre Vasquez De la Cueva. Gutierre and Francisca are the parents of Captain Luis Gaspar Núñez de la Cueva.

3. Luis Gaspar Carvajal de la Cueva, capitán He was also known as “Capitán Luis Núñez De la Cueva” married to Catalina De León, (daughter of Antonio De Leon and Francisca Núñez. It is believed that the Núñez comes from the original surname of Nunez Cavalleria of the house of David. ) They are the parents of Luis “el mozo” Carvajal, gobernador del “nuevo reino de leon.”

4. Luis Carbajal (el mozo) b. 1531 based on given age in a much later document) died in 1590 in Mexico. He was the first governor of New Leon (Nuevo Reino De Leon) in Mexico. What a nice coincidence that his mothers surname is also Leon.
The Carvajal Cueva family tree is difficult to unravel because many changed the surnames because the inquisition went after many family members. I descend from the Carvajal Cueva family. I also descend from other related lines through my Nunez Cavalleria and the del la Cueva Mercado lines.

Rick,

Thank you for your contribution. The Sánchez Dalmau is truly a very interesting family in the Kingdom of Aragón. I enjoyed reading the information you shared with us. I would like to remind all that this is only a theory and needs to be further researched. Rick is not saying that Toribio is the son of D. Miguel Sánchez Dalmau and Da. Isabel Fernández de Híjar y Arellano, but a possibility does exist as with anything. In regards to the timeline, family connections, surnames, and potential explanations, it is a very exciting and has opened more doors. I originally suggested many years ago that Hernández de Arellano is actually a compound surname and presented the theory that it was compounded by Fernández de Híjar and Ramírez de Arellano and it is nice to see we are all building upon each other's research. If it helps Toribio and Isabel did have a son name D. Gabriel Sánchez de Arellano, who married Isabel Sánchez de Lara on 14 Feb 1584 in Santa María de los Lagos, daughter of Capt. Juan Sánchez de Figueroa and Elvira Gil de Lara. I can see a parallel between this Gabriel and the Gabriel Sánchez Paulu previously mentioned in the genealogy presented.

Comment

Dear Daniel,

I had spent many years working on the Fernandez de Hijar and the Ramirez de Arellano families without thinking that Toribio Hernandez Arellano descended from the Fernandez de Hijar . I descend from the Fernandez de Hijar, Ramirez de Arellano, Mendoza, Lomelin, Cervantes, and Alvarez from different lines. I had compiled lots of information on these families in my research without thinking that there may be a connection. I had also done a lot work on the Perestrello family but this blood connection has not been proven. In my attempt to find the connection to the Perestrello family, I amassed much information on the family and business connections. Even though the Perestrello blood connection has not been proven, the business connections between this family and the other families contributed much to my research.

But It wasn't until you reminded me that the Fernandez and the Hernandez names were interchangeable in those years that the pieces of all these different family puzzles came together to make one giant puzzle. I continued researching, adding little pieces here and there, until this image of the family tree appeared. My research took a big leap forward with your contributions as i was en able to put pieces together. It is no secret that I took your conclusion that Toribio descended from the Hernandez and Ramirez Arellano families and built on it. I was fortunate and am very appreciative of your contributions to this work. It took another leap forward when Steven Hernandez, Manny Diez Hermosillo, and others, also added important pieces to the puzzle connecting more of the families. All of the families that I listed were involved in some way with each other so once I recognized that they were connected I was able to keep finding more and more connections. Connection after connection adding to the probability of Toribio's ancestry. It is a theory that continues to gain weight as research adds more pieces to the puzzle. I believe that the family tree that I have presented for Toribio has moved from possibility to probability, but that is only my opinion based on all the data I have in front of me. Like you said, more research is needed.

More families that I have recently found to be connected to these families are the Velasco, Covarrubias, Acuña, Boccanegra, Nuñez, and the Martinez de L.

It does help that Toribio and Isabel had a son named Gabriel Sánchez de Arellano, who married Isabel Sánchez de Lara on 14 /Feb /1584 in Santa María de los Lagos, daughter of Capt. Juan Sánchez de Figueroa and Elvira Gil de Lara. Gabriel Sanchez De Arellano would be named after his great uncle Gabriel Sánchez Palau, the most famous of the brothers, who was a friend of Christopher Colombus. Christopher Colombus wrote a letter to him and sent it immediately to Gabriel upon returning from his first trip back from the Caribbean.

Do you have information on the descendants of D. Gabriel Sánchez de Arellano and Isabel Sánchez de Lara? I have Gabriel's sister marrying Juan Sanchez de Lara, brother of Isabel Sanchez de Lara. So it's another case of two siblings marrying another pair of siblings.

I have two maternal great uncles (brothers) marrying two sisters. My maternal grandfather and another great uncle (brothers) married first cousins. That last great uncle, the youngest of the four brothers, is the grandfather of Professional soccer player Isaac Romo who played for "Chivas" at one time. I was told by family members that Isaac married a niece of the owner of Chivas. Isaac and I are second cousins. Over fifty years ago when I was a kid visiting Guadalajara, I remember accompanying Isaac's parents on a date to Parque Agua Azul in Guadalajara. Way back then many families did not allow teenagers to go on dates by themselves, they had to take along a third wheel. I was the third wheel a few times that summer with Isaac's parents. Another grandson of this last great uncle was posted at the Vatican during the papacy of John Paul II. I don't know if he is still over there. I think he was still posted there when they canonized Santo Toribio Romo Gonzalez, my maternal grandfathers third cousin (three times over). Many, many family members went to the Vatican for this event. I have a picture of the Pope with some family members.

Isaac's father also played professional soccer for Irapuato for many years. A sister of Isaac's father, my mom's first cousin, played Volleyball for the Mexican Olympic team. Her boyfriend of six years stated that if she went and played in the Olympics in front of everyone with those short shorts that they were finished. He forbade her to go because of the picture that was posted on the front page of a Guadalajara newspaper that showed her bending down to dig out a shot. Her mother, my great aunt also disliked the photo and forbade her from playing. After much thought she decided to go to the Olympics and play anyway. She met the backup center of the Mexican men's basketball team and quickly forgot about her ex boyfriend. They were a match made in heaven. Very happily married for many decades, in fact the happiest couple I have ever met. One of their sons made it to a minor league baseball team here in the states before an illness derailed his baseball career.

One of the reasons for not having finished a book on these families is that what started out as separate books morphed into one big book because of their connections, but became too big, and now has to go back to separate books..

Thank you again Daniel for providing big pieces to the puzzle!

After much research there has not been any documentation that would make the Golluf family the probable ancestors of Toribio Hernandez Arellano.   This is only a possible lineage.  The weak link is that there is no proof that they are the same Toribio Hernandez de Arellano.   
Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Daniel and Mr. Ricci,

i've always enjoyed all of your theories and Daniel, I actually have a lot
of questions about some of the ones about some of the families I come from,
but about the Hernandez de Arellano family, i was wondering what you both
think the reason is that no one is named after Toribio. in the Romo de
Vivar's theres a bunch of people named Diego and in the Martin de
Sotomayor's a bunch name Andres, but in the Hernandez de Arellano family i
cant think of one person name Toribio, doesnt that seem strange?

Danny C. Alonso

Comment

Dear Danny,

The Diego were named "Diego Romo de Vivar", the Andres were named "Andres Martin de Sotomayor", and so on. Back in that century if you named someone after another family member it was the whole name. So when Toribio named his son Gabriel after his paternal uncle he gives him the whole name "Gabriel Sanchez". He wouldn't name him Gabriel Hernandez. The first name "Toribio " goes with the Hernandez line. I have found very few men named Toribio during this time frame. What is interesting is that three of them were surnamed Hernandez.

Another thing to consider is that The first Diego Romo de Vivar and the first Andres Martin de Sotomayor were first born that inherited the vast majority of the family fortune and titles. The first born held a lot of the status in the families. Sometimes the second and third born would have some status when there was a large fortune. But the youngest of the families often had little to no status and often didn't inherit much, if anything, in large families. Toribio Hernandez Arellano would be the youngest born of parents that were themselves the youngest born of prestigious families. His mother was the youngest of her family, and being a female she held even less status than if she had been a male. She carried so little status that some genealogist have mistakenly referred to her as being illegitimate. Even though she married into the rich Sanchez family, it was to the youngest brother, and then he died when Toribio was young so they didn't inherit much money or status from either family. Toribio's name wouldn't be a name that carried much status in the Hernandez de Xijar, Ramirez de Arellano, Hurtado de Mendoza, or Sanchez de Calatayud families. Toribio does seem to pop up with the Hernandez surname but I don't know if it is just a coincidence or if there is more to it. The Toribios never seem to be the first born.

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

Comment

The Golluf were also vintners, both in France and Zaragossa.

Comment

I thought that for New Years I would at least release a little bit of information from my book. So here is something on The Hernandez Arellano Sanchez's ancestors.

The Jewish community of DAvignon, Barcelona, and part of Zaragosa was connected. These families intermarried often.They were of the house of David. These families were highly educated and were involved in commerce. and medicine.

In the D ' Avignon community we find not only the Golluf family but also Michel Notredame's paternal grandfather who converted to Catholicism, divorced his Jewish wife because she refused to convert, and married his third wife, the grandmother of Nostradamus. Many genealogists have a mistake in the family tree on his paternal side. The correct lineage shows him to be a descendant of the family that was part of the families that intermarried with the Gollufs.

Happy New Year,
R.A. Ricci

It was great to see your Wooo hoo! It's Great that you have connected to our family tree.

Comment

Mr. Ricci,

I've been super busy this last week with school and haven't kept up with all the posts. Is Isabel Mendoza Velasco, the same as Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza. is she the wife of Toribio Hernandez?

Danny C. Alonso

Comment

Many genealogists cannot agree on whether the information on Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza is that she descends from a Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, or that her father is named Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. I hope that those that insist that her father is A Diego Hurtado de Mendoza would present that evidence. Where is the evidence that her father's name is Diego Hurtado de Mendoza?

This Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza Velasco has a father surnamed Velasco and the Mendoza comes from the maternal side, though the father also descends from the Mendozas. She does descend from a Diego Hurtado de Mendoza.

Look at the information that I presented. Has anyone come up with a better candidate? If they have, I haven't seen it.

Comment

Hello Danny,

No she is not. Isabel Mendoza de Velasco was a false lead.   She is not the same Isabel de Mendoza.  Isabel Mendoza is, written in some document that I haven’t personally seen, to be be the daughter of a Diego Hurtado de Mendoza.  It would help to get a hold of that document to look for clues. The document needs to be looked over piece by piece.

Comment

R.A. Ricci,

Thank you for the information on the Covarrubias. Gaspar de Covarrubias’ specific connection to the Bishop Diego de Covarrubias kept eluding me.

Also, does the eighth testigo of Juan de Hororzco, Toribio Hernandez, fit with yours, or is he a new unrelated Toribio? He had caught my attention because he was commenting on the converso members of Juan de Horozco’s family and because you had recently posted your Toribio Hernandez being from a mixed converso family.

Comment

Dear David,

It is a different Toribio Hernandez. I do not know if they are related. The Toribio mentioned in the book is living in Spain and involved with the church. Our Toribio Hernandez Arellano wouldn't volunteer to discuss whether someone was a converso as his grandfathers relatives were involved in the murder of an official of the inquisition. Even to this day, people mistakenly believe that it was his grandfather that was involved in the conspiracy to commit the murder when it was his distant cousin of the same name.

Not only distant relatives involved, but Toribio Hernandez Arellanos grandfather had an older brother, Gabriel Sanchez, whose in laws were found to be involved in the conspiracy to commit murder of the inquisitor. Gabriel Sanchez helped finance Christopher Colombus' trip across the Atlantic. Both Toribios grandfather and Gabriel were friends of Christopher and his father. This friendship helped Christopher in his pleas to King Ferdinand as he too was close to the Sanchez brothers. Toribios grandfather made a lot of money for himself and the King. If it hadn't been for the Sanchez brothers, Columbus may have never made the trips across the Atlantic. King Ferdinand did not have complete trust in Columbus so the connection to the Sanchez brothers helped him get over his feelings of distrust.

It was a joy to put together the Covarrbias family tree. Hopefully one day my ancestor, Jose Covarrubias, will find his spot in this family tree.

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

Dear David,

I'm sure you were trying to help with my research on Toribio Hernandez Arellano when you provided information on Jose Orosco Covarrubias. And you did. Even if he is not the same Toribio. I need to find and check out every Toribio Hernandez that I can find in the 1500's. You also did so much more. You opened the doors to some of my previous research on Oroscos. And you got me started on studying the Covarrubias family in Spain. I descend from Villaseñor Orosco but had run into dead ends. I still haven't connected Jose Orosco Covarrubias's "Orosco" line to mine, but I now have much more information on Oroscos.

I also descend from Covarrubias. Though I have a brickwall at Jose Covarrubias, husband of Leonor Hermosillo, I hope to one day break through that wall. The line that I post on the Covarrubias line is solid to Juan Covarrubias, grandfather of Maria Covarrubias that is married to Sebastian Martinez de Leyva. The line before Juan is a line done by another genealogist in the 16th century so I need to still check that out.

And you have opened another door. The Martinez de Leyva family is not your average family. By discovering that the Leyva was part of Sebastian Martinez de Covarrbias surname making him Sebastian Martinez de Leyva from Covarrubias we have the possibility that he is part of Sancho (Brazo de Hierro/Iron Arm) Martinez de Leyva's family.

I have done much research on the Martinez de Leyva family for a long time. You can see the results of some of this research at:

I have found confirmation that Francisco Covarrubias and Melchor Covarrubias are first cousins, and the person that confirms this identification is Melchor himself. For them to be first cousins, Gaspar has to be a son of Alonso Covarrubias Leyva and Maria Gutierrez de Hegas. I have found other information on this family that I still need to follow up.

R.A. Ricci,

While researching the Covarrubias family I ran into a Toribio Hernandez. You might want to look into this if you have not seen it already.

At peres.mcu.es there is a document:
“Información genealógica de Juan Orozco de Covarrubias”
ES.28079.AHN/1.1.11.6.4//INQUISICIÓN,1469,Exp.21

It is dated 8 August 1573.

The original images are not viewable at peres.mcu.es but the same record is copied in the book “Camcionero / Sebastián de Horozco ; introducción, edición crítica, notas, bibliografía y genealogía de Juan de Horozco por Jack Weiner,” Bern : H. Lang, 1975. Starting on page 325.

The fourth testigo is a Juan Fernandez who mentions a Toribio Hernandez and the eighth testigo is a Toribio Hernandez.

Comment

Dear David,

I ordered a book and should get it in a couple of weeks. I don't think it is the same Toribio Hernandez but will investigate. I am very interested in learning more about this Covarrubia family. I descend from the Orosco and Covarrubias families in Nueva Galicia. Are the people named in this book related to the Orosco or Covarrubias families from Nueva Galicia?

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

In reply to by R.A.Ricci (not verified)

Comment

The Juan de Horozco Covarrubias mentioned above is the Spanish writer. His father Sebastian de Orozco came from a Converso family. The Toribio Hernandez in the document is commenting on the Converso side of Juan de Horosco’s family – something to do with some cousins through Juan de Hororzco’s paternal grandmother Maria de Soto.

As for Covarrubias, Juan de Horozco’s mother Maria Valero de Covarrubias is the first cousin to the famous bishop Diego de Covarrubias y Leyva. In other documents, this Diego appears as a “deudo” to the Contador Francisco de Covarrubias of Mexico (son of Gaspar de Covarrubias and Margarita de Quijada). I have not seen anything that describes the relation between Diego and Francisco more specifically then “deudo” though.

Please let us know what you find out once you receive the book.

Regards,

David

Comment

Dear David,

The book already arrived and consists of many poems. I did some research on Juan Horosco de Covarrubias and came up with the following:

Juan Horosco y Covarrubias is the son of Sebastian de Horosco (from Toledo) and Juana Valera de Covarrubias (from Aragon)

Sebastian Horosco is the son of Juan de Horosco and Maria de Soto (conversa)

Juana Valera de Covarrubias is the daughter of Marcos Covarrubias de Leyva and Catalina Valera (Catalina is the daughter of Juan -----Valera, and granddaughter of another Juan -----Valera)

Marcos Covarrubias de Leyva is the son of Sebastian Martinez de Covarrubias and Maria Gutierrez de Leyva

Marcos Covarrubias de Leyvais the brother of Alonso Covarrubias y Leyva who is married to Maria Gutierrez de Egas (Her father, uncles, grandfather, and great uncles are famous architects.) Alonso himself is a famous architect who was a student of his wife's family.

Alonso Covarrubias y Leiva and Maria Gutierrez de Egas are the parents of Gaspar Covarrubias de Egas who is married Margarita Quijada

Gaspar and Margarita are the parents of Francisco Covarrubias y Quijada, tesorero en Zacatecas, contador de Nueva Galicia, arrived in Nueva Galicia in 1563 when he was twenty years old.

Gaspar has a sister named Isabel that leaves many descendants in Chile. Many of her descendants used the Covarrubias surname instead of her husband's surname Velasquez.

The genealogy that I am posting is a little different from the genealogy posted on the Internet. My research differs in that Juana Valera de Covarrubia's mother is Catalina Valera and not Juana. Catalina's father is Juan ----- Valera. I cannot understand the middle name. This Juan named after his father who has the exact same name, even the unreadable (by me) middle name.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The change from Martinez to Covarrubias:

Sebastian Martinez de Covarrubias and Maria Gutierrez de Leyva's children used the Covarrubias surname as they were from the Villa de Covarrubias, Burgos, Castilla la vieja, (Spain).

Sebastian's surname is Martinez and Covarrubias is where he resides. Digging deeper into this family ancestral tree requires looking into the Martinez surname.

Maria Gutierrez de Egas descends from a Flemish family of architects. She is the daughter of Enrique Egas and Maria Gutierrez. The Egas surname is actually a corruption/ translation from his father's surname "van der Eicken Cuemen."

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Alonso de Covarrubias y Leyva was a famous architect and sculptor, though he was over-shadowed by his more famous in-laws

Alonso de Covarrubias y Leyva and Maria Gutierrez de Egas are the parents of:

1) Diego Covarrubias y Leyva Egas, priest, Bishop, professor of canon law at the University of Salamanca, universally known for his genius and knowledge across many subjects. He formulated the reform decrees of the "council of Trent." Apart from his religious duties, he was also a member of the Council of Castile, and for two years was the president of the Council of Castile.
2) Antonio Covarrubias y Leyva (professor of law at the University of Salamanca and consul (consejero) of Castile
3) Gaspar Covarrubias Leyva Egas, conquistador en Michoacan, left descendants in Mexico. He was married to Margarita Quijada. They had a son named Francisco Covarrubias y Quijada, tesorero en Zacatecas, contador de Nueva Galicia. Francisco arrived in Nueva Galicia in 1563 when he was twenty years old.
4) Isabel Covarrubias y Leyva married Juan Francisco Velasquez Montero and left many descendants in Chile, South America
5) Catalina Covarrubias Leiva Egas married Pedro Pastor de Covarrubias and had a son, capitán Melchor de Covarrubias who was a soldier, very successful businessman, and great philanthropist that was named "Fundador del Templo y del Colegio del Espiritu Santo" en "Puebla de Los Angeles" in Mexico.
6) Guiomar Covarrubias Leiva Egas married Francisco Ponce de Leon and had a son named Garci Ponce de Covarrubias who may have had some descendants that married their distant cousins that were descendants of 4)Isabel Covarrubias y Leyva.

Thank you for informing me about this Covarrubias discussion. As discussed in the Colio and Covarrubias Thread, I tie in at Gaspar Covarrubias and Margarita Quijada.

How were you able to connect Gaspar to Alonso? Thank you for any info you can provide.

Alex

Comment

Dear Alex,

I put the family tree and its notes together myself by combining lots of little pieces of the puzzle from different sources. The Capitan in Puebla is said to be gaspars nephew and I have the capitans parents. Francisco was said to be Diego's nephew which is another clue that fits since Alonso is the father of the capitans mother and bishop Diego Covarrubias. They were also related to the Covarrubias from Chile through another sister of Diego and Gaspar. It's a lot of little pieces that when put together you get the family tree that I posted. I do have a primary source record for some of the information but the rest was put together like I said from a puzzle piece here and a puzzle piece there.

What I have not been able to add to the tree is my ancestor, Jose Covarrubias, born about 1659 and married to Leonor Hermosillo (daughter of Pedro Franco de Paredes and Leonor Hermosillo) . Their son Jose Covarrubias (Jr.) married on 20/Aug/1725 to Leonor Sanchez de Porras.

Glad I could help,

Have you been able to locate the marriage record for Jose Covarrubias' first marriage to Margarita Martin del Campo? I haven't been able too and that's where I would hope the parents names would be. I checked the marriage records for his two other wives and no beans :(

Where did you find confirmation that Francisco was Diego's nephew. All I have found is the term "deudo" being used re. their relationship in a primary source. (Informaciones: Francisco de Covarrubias). I also have "Diccionario Biografico del Occidente Novohispano" The entry for Layva y Covarrubias, Don Diego de states "Tio (algunas fuentes menos confiables dicen que primo) de Francisco Covarrubias, contador de...." Source being (Fernandez, 2003: 280) which seems unsure of the relationship. No doubt Gaspar ties into Sebastian Martinez de Covarrubias, I just can't figure out how.

I also haven't been able to find Gaspar in Mexico. I think he was in Spain when Francisco came over. Did Gaspar and Margarita both come?

Thanks
Alex

Comment

Whoops sorry about that. I posted about the wrong Joseph Covarrubias. Joseph and Leonor had at least 3 children (Ana Maria 1687, Nicolas 1689 and Leonor 1691) in Tepatitlan so I guess they would have had to been married there

Comment

There is another Gaspar Covarrubias that is married to Catalina Gallardo. There is a record of them baptizing a child on 26/Sep/1632 in Zacatecas. I believe that this Gaspar maybe a son or grandson of Francisco Covarrubias.

The ancestry of Maria Gutierrez de Egas, wife of Alonso Covarrubias y Leyva (1488-1570) is posted on geni with mistakes that people made many years ago. It had been thought that Maria's father was Enrique Egas (senior). The correct genealogy shows that she is the niece of Enrique Egas (senior) and cousin to Enrique Egas (junior).

The Eyck (Eycken) Koemann surname is corrupted/translated into Hegas or Egas. Koemann is changed to Cunen. The van der Eycken brothers are architects from Brussels that go to Spain.

The brothers are Jan van der Eycken (Aka Hanneken (Hanequin) de Bruselas), Anton (Antonio) Martinez de Bruselas, and Egas Cunen (aka Henri van Eycken or Eyck)

Egas Cunen and Mari Gutierrez are the parents of:

1) Margarita Gutierrez de Hegas married to Miguel Sanchez

2) Isabel Gutierrez

3) Anton (Antonio) Egas

4) Enrique Egas (senior)

The brothers Anton Egas and Enrique Egas (senior) collaborate with each other and are involved in much artistic work just like their father and uncles. These brothers are mentors to Alonso Covarrubias. Enrique Egas (senior) has a son named Enrique Egas (junior). Alonso Covarrubias was also known to have collaborated with the son.

Enrique Egas's sister (1) Margarita Gutierrez de Hegas and her husband Miguel Sanchez are the parents of Maria Gutierrez de Hegas that marries Alonso Covarrubias de Leyva.

Alonso Covarrubias de Leyva was born in 1488 in Torrijos, provincia de Toledo. He was a very famous sculptor and architect. His mother, Maria Gutierrez de Leyva was originally from Torrijos and his father, Sebastian Martinez de Covarrubias did come from a family from the Villa Covarrubias in Lerma (Burgos).

Comment

Dear Alex,

You are right, I should have written that Diego is mentioned as his tio instead saying that Francisco is his nephew. The one that is mentioned as a nephew of Gaspar is Capitan Melchor de Covarrubias. Gaspar was mentioned as a Conquistador in Mexico but it didn't say if his wife came over. The Capitan Melchor de Covarrubias was mentioned as The conquistadors nephew and his mother is known to be Diego Covarrubias sister. Melchors father was surnamed Pastor and added de Covarrubias to show where he was from. Capitan Melchor used Covarrubias as a surname. Melchors family is mentioned in the story about how they wanted him to be the family priest but he was more interested in being a soldier and then amassing a fortune. He donated money in Puebla and that is why he is called " Fundador del Templo y del Colegio del Espiritu Santo" en "Puebla de Los Angeles" in Mexico in his will, Melchor left a lot of money to the church in Puebla.

Is your source for "Tio" the same as mine ("Diccionario Biografico del Occidente Novohispano") or have you find something else?

Thanks for the additional Covarrubias info. It will help greatly in my research.

Comment

A previous post is on the bottom of this page after XXX
The corrections are at the top.

I couldn't read Catalina Valero's father's name, or her grandfather's name. I had guessed poorly and thought I was reading "Jn.-------Valera" but it turns out that it reads Juan Perez Valero but another source names his parents as Pedro Valero Puerta and Juana Lopez. Both are primary sources so Juan Perez Valero or Pedro Valero Puerta depending on what someone understands from the scribbles

The second mistake is more important to us as this one had to do with the Covarrubia ancestry.

Alonso Leyva Covarrubias (aka Alonso Covarrubias Leyva) father is the one with Leyva as part of his surname, not his mother.

Sebastian Martinez Leyva and Maria de Covarrubias are the parents of Alonso Covarrubias Leyva and Marcos Covarrubias Leyva.

Maria Covarrubias is the daughter of Hernando Covarrubias. Her paternal grandfather is Juan Covarrubias.

Marcos Covarrubias Leyva was married twice. His second wife is named Antonia ( o Ana) Lopez. They had a daughter named Magdalena Covarrubias.

I will post the Orozco ancestry later if anyone is interested.

Sorry for the mistakes. It took further research trying to find Sebastian Martinez Leyva's parents to find his correct name.

Old post with a couple of mistakes:
Dear David,

The book already arrived and consists of many poems. I did some research on Juan Horosco de Covarrubias and came up with the following:

Juan Horosco y Covarrubias is the son of Sebastian de Horosco (from Toledo) and Juana Valera de Covarrubias (from Aragon)

Sebastian Horosco is the son of Juan de Horosco and Maria de Soto (conversa)

Juana Valera de Covarrubias is the daughter of Marcos Covarrubias de Leyva and Catalina Valera (Catalina is the daughter of Juan -----Valero, and granddaughter of another Juan -----Valera)

Marcos Covarrubias de Leyva is the son of Sebastian Martinez de Covarrubias and Maria Gutierrez de Leyva

Marcos Covarrubias de Leyvais the brother of Alonso Covarrubias y Leyva who is married to Maria Gutierrez de Egas (Her father, uncles, grandfather, and great uncles are famous architects.) Alonso himself is a famous architect who was a student of his wife's family.

Alonso Covarrubias y Leiva and Maria Gutierrez de Egas are the parents of Gaspar Covarrubias de Egas who is married Margarita Quijada

Gaspar and Margarita are the parents of Francisco Covarrubias y Quijada, tesorero en Zacatecas, contador de Nueva Galicia, arrived in Nueva Galicia in 1563 when he was twenty years old.

Gaspar has a sister named Isabel that leaves many descendants in Chile. Many of her descendants used the Covarrubias surname instead of her husband's surname Velasquez.

The genealogy that I am posting is a little different from the genealogy posted on the Internet. My research differs in that Juana Valera de Covarrubia's mother is Catalina Valera and not Juana. Catalina's father is Juan ----- Valera. I cannot understand the middle name. This Juan named after his father who has the exact same name, even the unreadable (by me) middle name.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The change from Martinez to Covarrubias:

Sebastian Martinez de Covarrubias and Maria Gutierrez de Leyva's children used the Covarrubias surname as they were from the Villa de Covarrubias, Burgos, Castilla la vieja, (Spain).

Sebastian's surname is Martinez and Covarrubias is where he resides. Digging deeper into this family ancestral tree requires looking into the Martinez surname.

Comment

When Isaach Golluf and Jehuda Golluf converted and changed their names signifying a conversion to Catholicism they kept some of their Jewish identity in the names. Their new surname was Sanchez de Calatayud. Calatayud is Jewish.

Calatayud is translated as “Castle or fortress of the Jews"

Comment

Miguel Sanchez Dalmau did have a sister named Magdalena Sanchez Dalmau.
Alonso Vilaragut is married to Magdalena Sanchez Dalmau in 1518.
Miguel Sanchez Dalmau did not have any brothers as he is identified as the only son.. I don't know how many sisters he had as I have only found this one sister so far.

Comment

So you're saying that Miguel Sanchez and Isabel Hernandez de Hijar Ramirez de Arellano are the parents of Toribio? If so, I can go ahead and make the changes to that on the geni.com website.

Comment

There are a few issues that I would like to inform you about.

Miguel Sanchez Dalmau is how we would name him today with the paternal and maternal surnames. In Spanish(Castilian) he was known as Miguel Sanchez but in the area that he lived most of his life his name is written "Miguel Sanchis".

Isabel Hernandez de Hijar y Ramirez Arellano is how we would write her name today yet she was known as "Isabel de Yxar".

The third issue is the one brought up in a communication of my findings with Steven Hernandez. Steven reminded me that "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link." He asked me to identify the weakest link, if any. I responded by informing him of the following:

I did a lot of work getting the correct ancestry of Miguel Sanchez Dalmau to Pedro Sanchez ((I) (title:Caballero),and to Alfonsina Baron (o Varon). On many documents it is stated that they descend from Alazar (Eleazar Golluf). So working with the timelines and the information that I had, I had originally placed the Pedro Sanchez married to Alfonsina Baron as the son of Alazar Golluf. This would mean that Pedro Sanchez is the Pedro Sanchez De Calayatud that was originally named Jehuda Golluf. But Dr. Haim, who is recognized as the worlds greatest expert on Sephardic genealogy states that Miguel's Grandfather, Alfonso Sanchez, descends From Alazar Golluf's son Juan Sanchez de Calayatud previously known as Isaach (Asach "el menor" Golluf). As Dr. Haim is the greatest expert on these matters, I defer to his judgment and research and place our Pedro as the grandson to Eleazar(Alazar) instead of son. There is room (barely) for this added generation in the timeline. I feel comfortable following Dr. Haim's lead as he has done much more research than I have and is known as the world expert in this field. At the same time, I would be surprised, but not shocked, if my original ancestral trace showing our Pedro to be the son of Eleazar and not the grandson.

I repeat, my collection of documents provide the steps through primary sources from Miguel Sanchez Dalmau to Pedro Sanchez married to Alfonsina Baron with the added identification along the way that they are descendants of Eleazar (Alazar) Golluf.

So my suggestion is to use the information that Dr. Haim provided yet keep in your notes the very small possibility that Dr. Haim is mistaken and that I was originally correct in placing our Pedro as the son and not the grandson. I have not seen all of Dr. Haims research and only have his statements to the press as to Alfonso sanchez being a descendant of Juan Sanchez de Calayatud (Isaach Golluf).
I feel that you should add these additional notes including the source being my book, Mygenes2000.

Thank you,
R.A. Ricci

Comment

R.A.,

I agree that a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. So, I'm curious, what is the actual evidence that Toribio is the son of Miguel Sanchez and Isabel Fernandez de Hijar? Or even a little evidence that suggests a possible link between them? Is there any evidence that Miguel even had a son named Toribio? I've always been confused at attempts to link Toribio with the Fernandez de Hijar family, when there is a known Spanish compound surname of "Fernandez de Arellano," why doesn't it make more sense that Toribio just descends from someone named Fernandez de Arellano?

Comment

People kept asking me to identify Toribios parents. I often responded that I would finish my book soon. The problem is that I am not close to finishing my book. I knew that there would be questions regarding his ancestry if I just named his parents without presenting all the pieces of the puzzle that together lead to this identification. That is why I used the word possible instead of probable. I also knew that if I just presented his parents without identifying the correct ancestral line that people will pick up erroneous lines of ancestry. There are lines presented by other genealogists, even in the sixteenth century, that are not correct. There is a line presented in a "libro verde" that has many mistakes on this families family tree. That is why I present Miguel Sanchez Dalmau's ancestral line even though I have not included all the information from my book.

Miguel's grandfather Alfonso (II) is often confused with Alfonso (I) the jurist(lawyer) so historians and genealogists mix up their ancestral lines. Alfonso( I) 's line is prone to mistakes as this branch of the family converted only under the pressure of the inquisition and many of the members would try to distort the lines and say they were from Miguel's line in order that their ancestors would be looked upon as converted Christians before the forced conversions. Many family members from Alfonso (I) side of the family suffered greatly under the inquisition. Some of them fought back and had to leave for Portugal and Italy when a price was put on their heads. The Sanchez family was under pressure in the Americas not long after their arrival. Alfonso (I) the jurist takes on a complicated case for a Mendoza ancestor of Pedro Ledesma. Any family tree stating that Miguel's line descends from poor ancestors is a giant red flag as all of his ancestors from his father all the way to Samuel Golluf and Bona Strugas parents were wealthy. Alonso (1)'s ancestor Abraham Goluff (Abram) did inherit from his grandfather but most his descendants struggled financially until Alonso (I)'s time when some of them became successful businessman/bankers. A descendant of this line became governor of Aragon.

I am still working on identifying the different branches of this family. I do have a lot of information already and it will be in my book.

A puzzle takes shape as more and more pieces are properly placed together. I do not have all the pieces of the puzzle. I presented many pieces of the puzzle hoping that more people can add pieces to the puzzle. I hope someone can add a piece to the puzzle that will change what I believe is probable to certain.

This discovery of this ancestral line is not the only find from the intersection of my different lines of research. There is a confirmed link to Christopher Colombus. An ancestor of Columbus' is identified as being a granddaughter of an ancestor of mine. Through this line, he is my sixth cousin many, many, times removed. This relationship is not through Toribio. This line is from Italy and goes back many generations, with close relationships to a few Popes. Many people in Nueva Galicia are related to Colombus and these Popes through this line.

Comment

R.A. Ricci, have you found more settlers from Los Altos with converso background? Would it seem logical the earliest families marrying into Toribio de Arellano's family were of the same converso background? It's my understanding converso families often married into each other. I haven't been on this website for many years and maybe this topic has already been discussed.

Comment

Dear Alice,

You are correct that it is logical that the earliest families marrying into Toribio’s family have a similar ancestral background of a mixture of “old Christian” and “converso”. There are many settlers from Los Altos that had this similar background ancestry. Many of the settlers of Los Altos were “third sons, of third sons, of third sons, of nobility or royalty”. What this means is that they were usually not the son, or grandson of first born in a family that would inherit the family title and the bulk of the family estate. A “third son, of a third son, of a third son” meant that you were a great grandson of someone who left you with little inheritance of titles or money. “Third sons” of “third sons” often married wealthy “conversos” who brought much needed infusion of cash to the marriage. So even though conversos did often marry other conversos, there was also a mixture of nobility with conversos, as someone who came from a titled background would marry someone from a rich converso background as it was advantageous to both families for such a marriage. The children from these marriages often married others with similar mixed ancestral trees. This happens to be the case of many of the settlers of Los Altos, many of them had a grandparent or a great grandparent with converso ancestry, while also having a grandparent, or great-grandparent with a noble title.

Toribio Hernández Arellano was not the first born in his family, so he didn’t inherit the bulk of his father’s estate. His father was a younger son of conversos with some money who married a much younger daughter of nobility who received little inheritance from her family. So even though Toribio had great grandparents with titles and money, he was the “third son, of a third son, of a third son”.

Two more examples of these mixed “old Christian” and converso ancestral lineages are the Villaseñor Cervantes and the Padilla Dávila. In my Cervantes ancestry a rich Jewish merchant married many of his daughters to younger sons of nobility who inherited relatively little as the first born took the bulk of the inheritance. One of his daughters was married to a Cervantes, and they are the ancestors to my Villaseñor Cervantes of Los Altos de Jalisco. Same happened with my Padilla ancestors. For three straight generations you find my noble Padilla Dávila ancestors marrying women with converso ancestral backgrounds. The story repeats in many of the ancestries of the first settlers of Los Altos de Jalisco.

Another Important fact regarding Jewish ancestry of many of the first settlers of Los Altos de Jalisco was that a prominent Jewish family of religious leaders established a place of worship in their large home in Los Altos de Jalisco that attracted many Jewish families. When this got too much attention they went underground and moved away. But many of the settlers that had come to be near this place of worship decided to stay.

Here is a post on this subject:

Su alta posición le permitió ocuparse de los asuntos de la población judía incluso fuera de los límites de la aljama donde habitaba. De la casa de David. I don't know if the descent from david is through a paternal or maternal line.

Alazar Golluf is Treasurer of the Queen Violante of Aragon and the most prominent Jewish courtier at the time in Aragon

Eleazar (Alazar) Golluff is the father of Isaach (Azach el menor)(the eldest), Jehuda Golluf and Abraham Goluff.

#3 Azach Golluff ( el Mayor) becomes upset that Isaach (aka Azach el menor, aka Juan Sanchez de Calayatud) and Jehuda (Pedro Sanchez de Calataud) convert to Catholicism so he changes his will and disinherits Azach el menor who was originally the main beneficiary in his grandfathers will. Jehuda (aka Pedro Sanchez de C.) is also skipped over for inheritance since he also converted at the same time as Isaac. The third son, Abraham then becomes the main beneficiary in his grandfathers will. Abraham (Abran) is the same person referred to in some family trees a century later as Alasar el mentor who converted from Judaism to Catholicism only after inheriting from his grandfather and after the forced conversions of 1391. I believe they are the same person because they only speak of three brothers, and The third brother is named Abraham in earlier documents but Alasar el menor in family trees that are made a century or more later. This Abraham/Alasar el menor converts and changes his name to Luis Sanchez de Calayatud, using the same surname that his brothers used when they converted in August of 1389. Luis Sanchez de Calayatud's descendants struggle mightily financially and because they are not considered true converts. Eventually some of his descendants begin to show some career success But many of them become involved in the death of St Pedro Arbues and run for their lives to Italy and Portugal where they settle down and are able to become successful businessmen.

Isaac (Azach el menor aka Juan Sanchez de Calayatud did receive the inheritance from his father Eleazar (Alazar) Golluf as his father died two months before he converted.

Comment

Rick,

Have you ever seen evidence of your Diego Marquez de los Olivos (generation 13 in your original post) having had a brother or half-brother Capitan Miguel Marquez de los Olivos, Alguacil Mayor de Juchipila?

Much of the following is repeated from one of my old posts found here:

http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/22981

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the book:
La hacienda "Ciénega de Mata" de los Rincón Gallardo: un modelo excepcional de latifundio novohispano durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, by José Fernando Alcaide Aguilar, 2004.

An interesting note on page 470: footnote number 488 at the bottom of the page shows Capitan Miguel Marquez de los Olivos becoming Alguacil Mayor de Juchipila and mentions him as the brother of a Diego Marquez de los Olivos. The record that footnote number 488 is referring to can be referenced at:

1. http://pares.mcu.es/
2. click on the tab labeled “Busqueda Sencilla,”
3. where it says “Buscar” type in “Miguel Marquez de los Olivos”
4. click Audiencia de Guadalajara
5. click CONFIRMACION DE OFICIO: MIGUEL MARQUEZ DE LOS OLIVOS
6. click “Ver imagenes”

The problem is that I am not able to find where it mentions Diego Marquez de los Olivos.

In any event, the only Diego Marquez de los Olivos that I know of who fits this time period would be the Diego Marquez de los Olivos (1617-1672) who was the son of a Joseph Marquez de los Olivos and a Maria de Ornelas. Could this also mean that Capitan Miguel Marquez de los Olivos is their son?

Holcombe only offers one clue to the parentage of Capitan Miguel Marquez de los Olivos

In Holcombe’s letters page 174-175 As seen here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6invajbk0zzo4jm/Letters%20Edited%20for%20Dist…

“He [referring to Capitan Miguel Márquez de los Olivos] was from Juchipila or Jalpa and a natural son of Captain X Márquez de los Olivos -- don’t recall the details.”

I wish he had recalled the details and I wish I knew what source he extracted this information from. Could this mean that (Capitan?) Joseph Marquez de los Olivos married Maria de Ornelas and had Diego Marquez de los Olivos, but also had a natural son Capitan Miguel Marquez de los Olivos. Has anyone seen evidence of Joseph (husband of Maria de Ornelas) ever being a “Capitan”?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, I would be very interested to find out if Capitan Miguel Marquez de los Olivos is a grandson of Toribio Hernandez de Arellano or not.

Comment

Dear David,

The were two Diego Marquez de Olivos during that time that I am aware of. They were father and son. The son had a son named Miguel Antonio Marquez de Olivos Fernandez de Rueda married to Josefa Macias Valadez ( or Valdes). I would have to pull out all the old documents that I made of Jaime Holcombes work to find out more. I have pulled out so many sheets, and lent out some that never came back that I may have to go back to the library and re copy Jaime Holcombes work in order to give you more information.

Sorry I couldn't help you more,

Alazar (Eleazar) Golluf dies in June of 1389

His son Isaac Golluf aka Juan Sanchez de Calatayud, arranges to convert to Catholicism two months later' in August of 1389. isaac arranged it so he did not have to give up many of his possessions like many other Jewish converts had to. He also arranged it so he was able to inherit from his father.

Isaacs grandfather was angry That Isaac had inherited his father's money, which was a large amount. Isaac was the eldest son and the one named after his grandfather but he was disinherited and Isaacs youngest brother who was named Alazar "el menor" is named after Alazar "el Mayor"

Comment

Dear Danny,

I discovered the Hernandez Sanchez ancestry while looking for Isabel Mendozas ancestry.

I had also been working on the Fernandez de Hijar family and Christopher Colombus's genealogy. The three separate research projects crossed paths when I found documentation that stated that this Sanchez family had family members that were close friends to Domenico and Christopher had intermarried repeatedly with the Mendozas.

My research then switched to finding out which members of this Sanchez family had married Mendozas and found that Miguel Sanchis Dalmau had married a granddaughter to a Mendoza and that I already had them in my Fernandez de Hijar records.

Then I discovered that the sanchez de Calayatud family was actually the Golluf Family.

The statement that this Sanchez family had repeatedly married Mendozas was the lightbulb that I saw flashing before me.

I put aside my research on Isabel Mendoza even though I felt that I had a few threads to pull because I became fascinated with the Golluf /Sanchez family history.

Shortly thereafter I became sidetracked when I discovered my Ochoa Ancestry to Basque Country.

After finding the Ochoa ancestry I again became sidetracked when I read the very fine print at the bottom of a page that led me to Pedro Ledesmas very interesting ancestry

. A long time ago I had worked on a ancestral branch that turned out to not be mine after all. It wasn't for naught. This work that I had done turns out to be an ancestral branch of Pedro Ledesma. When I read that fine print at the bottom of the page, I recognized that the person they were talking about was identified as a grandson of a descendant of that ancestral branch that I had spent a lot of time on. When I looked up this persons genealogy to find out more about his descendants I found that he had a great grandson that fits our Pedro Ledesma.

When I finish working on Pedro Ledesmas genealogy, then I will go back to work on Isabel Mendoza. I still have much to do as Pedro Ledesma has some common ancestors with other founding members of Nueva Galicia. The web that connects these families is my current project.

Comment

Dear Danny,

First remember that the letters H and F are interchangeable in those years. Hernandez is the same as Fernandez.

Second the Hijar is spelled differently at times

Miguel Sanchez Dalmau is married to Isabel Hernandez de Ijar. Isabel's parents are juan Fernandez de Hijar y Enriquez and Isabel Ramirez de Arellano y Hurtado de Mendoza.

Juan is the son of Luis Fernandez de Hijar y Beaumnont and Guiomar Enriquez y Guzman

Isabel Ramirez de Arellano is the daughter of Alfonso Ramirez de Arellano y Enriquez and Catalina Hurtado de Mendoza y Luna

I added the maternal surnames but they often did not write their names using both a paternal and maternal surname. You get to a point where the surnames are not passed down but the surname is the persons father's first name. For example danny Gonzalez would be the son of Gonzalo Rodriguez and he would be the son of Rodrigo Alvarez and he would be the son of Alvaro sanchez and he would be the son of Sancho Historians and genealogists often make genealogical tables giving people names that they never used in their lifetime. Sometimes genealogists will call someone by their title when the title was given just before the person passed away and was almost never called by that title during the majority of their lifetime. In my personal records I try to keep the name the way the person was called for the majority of their life.

The rest of their ancestors is a long list. Send me an address and I will send it to you via snail mail.

Sebastian Lopez Ramirez and Luis Lopez Ramirez were not brothers

Many genealogists have Luis Lopez Ramirez and Sebastian Lopez Ramirez as brothers because Jaime Holcombe incorrectly  stated in his cartas that they were brothers.  They have even put this false information on wikitree and stated that it was a fact.  These two men are related through marriage, but they aren't brothers. I won’t go into how they are related by marriage here in order to not confuse the issue as my intent here is to show that they aren't brothers.

Luis Lopez Ramirez is the son of Luis Lopez and Isabel Sanchez.  This Luis Lopez Ramirez is married to Catalina Rubio, daughter of Pedro Hernandez and Maria Rubio.

Sebastian Lopez Ramirez, aka Sebastian Ramirez, is the son of Andres Lopez and Isabel Ramirez, and Sebastian’s wife, Ana de la Cueva aka Ana de la Cueva y Sandoval, is the daughter of Pedro Garcia de la Cueva and Maria Teresa Sandoval (Pedro is the son of Alonso Hernandez de Rebollar and Maria Hernandez de la Cueva).

Andres is the son of Alvaro Lopez and Catalina Lopez.

I and others have researched primary sources from which we share our findings in WikiTree and in this forum. I understand that errors or incorrect assumptions are made and to that end I welcome and appreciate suggestions for improvements and corrections to information that I provide. I would also like to add that I am indebted to past researchers like Jaime Holcombe who provided the foundation from which we can add to. In regards to the information that you have provided in your post, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide sources (aside from Jorge Barba's book) that confirm the following:

  • Luis López Ramírez is the son of Luis López and Isabel Sánchez.
  • Sebastián Ramírez is the son of Andrés López and Isabel Ramírez.
  • Ana de la Cueva is the daughter of Pedro García de la Cueva and María Teresa de Sandoval.

Hello Austin,

I haven’t ignored your requests.  I have been working hard, and having success on other projects,  that I am squeezed for time. I will be gathering the information you request and provide it to you by the end of this coming week. 
 

Later I will look for the list I have of four other errors that I have seen on wikitree. I don’t recall right now where I put that list. I made that list when someone else asked me about errors that I had seen on wikitree. 

I do recall that one of the mistakes that is on wikitree is the Sotelo lineage.   You have the wrong Antonio Sotelo.  You have listed the Conquistador Antonio Sotelo. 
The right one is his second cousin that is also named Antonio Sotelo.  Capitan Antonio Sotelo, not the conquistador. Their paternal grandfathers are brothers. You can thank Erik Andres Reynoso Marquez for this find. You can read about the correct lineage in our discussion at http://nuestrosranchos.org/node/24926.   

Part of the ancestry of the Antonio Sotelo (conquistador) that you did have on wikitree is given by me at this same link.  I have more information from my research on this Antonio Sotelo, his siblings, and their battles with the inquisition.  Here are a couple of lines of ancestry of conquistador Antonio Sotelo:


1) Gonzalo López de Ribera m. Teresa Vasquez de Meira
2) Lope López de Ribera m. Maria Afan
3) Ruy (Rodrigo) López de Ribera m. Inés de Sotomayor
4) Per Afán de Ribera “el Viejo” m. Maria Rodríguez Marino (first wife)
5) Esperanza Rodríguez de Ribera m. Lope de Sotelo
6) Pero (Pedro) Sotelo m. Inés Cisneros
7) Conquistador Antonio Sotelo Cisneros

=====================================================================

1)King Alfonso IX de Leon and Aldonza Martins De Silva

Romo De Vivar: Descendants of the Influential Jewish Family Ha Levi

I believe that this presentation came from the late Sergio Gutierrez on 2010-03-17 in LA. I think that someone named Miguel Tran....? reposted it on this site. I was able to only download a portion of this presentation? Is there anyone that can assist me in getting a copy of the full text? Thanks, Rolando Romo

Hello Alice,

I found the proposed Rangel to Ha Levi ancestral line.   We discussed it here on nuestrosranchos in another thread.    There are mistakes in that line. I will do more research before posting it again.  

Thanks for bringing this up again, 

Rick A. Ricci

Comment

I have not connected the Romo family to the ha Levi family but it would not surprise me.  My Grandfather J HERMENEGILDO Romo Franco told me that we descended from Jews but never gave details.   He stated that presently our family was Roman Catholic but that family had a past with a different religion.   It was his way of saying that we had Jewish ancestors.   But these Jewish ancestors that he was talking about could have come from any of his ancestral lines, and not from a direct Romo ancestry. My grandfather is a third cousin to Santo Toribio Romo twice.

Diego el Romo was accused of Blasphemy in 1569 by the inquisition.  I still haven’t connected this Diego el Romo to my family line but he is from the same area as my Romo ancestors 


Rick A. Ricci

Comment

I read yesterday that Franco is a Sephardic surname. The Inquisition is a topic people seldom talk about. I think the Nazi atrocities of WWII overshadowed it. Back in 2016 there was an exhibit about the Inquisition at the historical museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They had a family tree that showed the Jewish lineage erased. I wish I could have seen that.

Comment

Hello Alice,

I would have liked to have seen that lineage that you say was erased. Many lineages that uncover jewish ancestors have been erased    It is a complex and touchy subject with many people and that is why the inquisition is a topic that is seldom talked about. Claims of Jewish ancestry is complex.

 Diego Romo de Vivar’s grandfather, Juan Luis del Rincon, was an official of the inquisition.   The family was Catholic in the 1500’s.   Claims of any Jewish ancestors would have to be in the 1400’s or before.   The Romos in the Villas de Rielves, Fuensalida, Fuentes, and Borox were practicing Roman Catholics.    Diego Romo de Vivar’s great uncle, brother to his grandfather, is Rafael del Rincon who was also an official of the inquisition.   The claims that the Romo family ancestral line had a Jewish background has been unverified, but they go back to a Jewish woman in the 1300’s.  But as of this date, May 21, 2026, I have not been able to find any primary documents that connect to that woman as the only proven ancestry that I have goes back to about 1500.    The Ruiz de Esparza who are part of my Romo ancestry do have Jewish ancestral roots but those roots also go back to the 1300’s and the Ruiz de Esparza family are practicing Catholics in the 1400s and 1500s.

  There was a commingling of jewish and Catholic families and this brought much confusion as members of families belonged to different religions.   There were many Noble families that had some  jewish lineages in their family tree that were hidden or disguised when people were attacked for having any jewish blood.  Many families that had some Jewish ancestors would claim to be of pure blood with no Jewish ancestry, and would do it with good conscience, because they believed that since their ancestors had converted over a century or two ago, that their family should be considered long time Catholics.   And many descendants of the Ha Levi family claimed to be of pure blood Catholics as they claimed that Mary the mother of Jesus was part of the Ha Levi family. Both The king and the Vatican issued proclamations that the Ha Levi family was to be considered long time Catholics and of pure blood for this reason.

There has been some interesting developments in the latest research of our Franco de Paredes and Martin del Campo lines by genealogist Jorge Barba Gomez.   He has upturned the the cart on Lazaro Martin del Campo’s parents and brought up interesting information on the Franco de Paredes origin in Spain.

Good luck in your research,

Rick A. Ricci

Thank you, Mr. Ricci. I am certain that there is a Jewish connection to the Romo family. The article that I previously inquired about cites the name of one of my ancient direct ancestors in Spain as having been Jewish. This would be Maria Rangel del Peguero, wife of Diego Romo de Vivar. This is why I would like to obtain a complete copy of this presentation/article.  Also, I had a medical doctor that was an expert on Hispanic/Jewish genealogy and a bishop in the Church of the Latter-Day Saints that both seemed very confident that Romo has a Sephardic connection.

Should I obtain a complete copy of this document, I will try to re-post it in Nuestros Ranchos for others to study.

Comment

You mentioned “late Sergio Gutierrrez”.   Is this the same Sergio Gutierrez that wrote a few  of books regarding Gutierrez genealogy and genealogy in Jalostotitlan? When and how did he pass away?   

Comment

I honestly don't know if the Gutierrez that you mentioned is the same one. I remember that he seemed to be from Bolivia and that he passed away some 5 to 7 years after the Los Angeles presentation was made. Sorry that I can't provide more information on him.

The earliest evidence that I had previous to this find was 1574. This find has a date of 27 May 1573 so it is the earliest evidence that I know of.

Thank you Denise,

Hi Rick and others who have responded to my comment.

I looked back through earlier comments and found one by Raul Munoz who describes this early decree - he mentions this document in a comment here is this thread on 2019-10-08 21:28. My apologies to Raul, that I forgot I had seen his earlier post!

I think the significance of the document must lie in the fact that the Leonor de Valderrama who is identified at the mother of Fernando and wife of Diego Arias Sotelo, is also identfied as the granddaughter of Moctezuma, and that the document was created - timewise - close to Moctezuma and people who knew him and his children. This should help settle the debate about whether the wife of Diego Arias Sotelo also descended from Cortez (she did not...).

There is another entry in PARES, Archivo General de Indias - licencia de pasajeros a criados de Leonor de Valderrama - from 1546, but unfortunately there are no images of it, so its not possible to confirm its the Leonor Valderrama subject of these comments. Its possible this document has already been mentioned somewhere in NR.... Note (from Chipman's Moctezumas Children p. 76): Mariana/Leonor Moctezuma's first husband Juan Paz died by 1529, "and about two years later, Mariana married Christobal de Valderrama" who then died at the end of 1537. So, Leonor wife of Diego Arias Sotelo could have been old enough to request two servants, or else her mother or guardian (Diego Sotelo) could have done so.

Anyway, again, apologies to Raul that I jumped the gun about the royal decree - I will try to be more careful in the future!

Regards
Denise

I just found a dowry record of another ancestor of mine, Berenguela De Montemayor, that names her father as Martin Alfonso De Montemayor. He does not name Berenguela in his will. Married daughters were often excluded from wills. This female ancestor was a great grandmother of Ruy Diaz De Mendoza. This is the documented line of ancestry of Ruy Diaz De Mendoza that is married to Catalina Salazar. This is another of multiple instances that I have seen where a daughter who is named as receiving a dowry from their father is not named in his will as he has already “ taken care “ of her financially.

The Lope Ruiz De Esparza record that I saw only named his mother-in-law as Moctezuma’s granddaughter, but Guillermo Teresa De Tovar notified me that he had a record in his possession that identified her as part of the Sotelo Moctezuma family. He did not show it to me but he did send me a “verbatim quote”. He said that he would send me a copy but he passed away before was able to pass it on. Other records show Petronila Moctezuma as madrina of children of the Sotelo Valderrama Moctezuma family.

Guillermo Tovar De Teresa showed a little frustration with me when I told him that there was a small mistake in an SHARR article that he coauthored with Mariano Gonzalez Leal and other authors.. The person that belonged in that line of descent should have been a nephew of the person they had in the list of descent from CHARLEMAGNE. This evidence added one more generation to the line. The evidence that I have are court records regarding a real estate dispute. Since He was upset about the conversation, I thought it best to give him a little space until he was ready to listen to my evidence. Unfortunately, he passed away before we had a chance to renew our discussions.

I'm new to the family of Petronila's descendants. A very distant cousin of mine posted a family tree on Ancestry with 33,000 people including my 8th great grandparents, Joseph de Contreras and Cecilia de Renteria. My cousin doesn't list her sources on Ancestry so I have been slowly researching and documenting each person. Today, I made the mistake of picking up Chipman's book which says my 13th GGM Petronila de Sotelo doesn't exist. Ancestry.com and Family Search seem to back him up.

All the records people cite are not of Petronila. I want to prove she existed. Does anyone know where and when her name first appeared?

What do you know about Martin de Gabay Navarro? My first question is, "Is his name Navarro de Gabay or de Gabay de Navarro? (Martin Navarro from Gabay or Martin de Gabay from Navarre?). I'm starting to realize that some of these names are places.

Can someone tell me what PARES and SHARR are? I want more places to dig. I'm stubborn and I just finished an MS in Business - not a related field but I am trained to research and I don't know what to do with my extra time.

If Petronila is not Leonor Valderrama's descendant, I have also lost Charlemagne. He is a direct ancestor of Cristobal Valderrama and Diego de Sotelo.

I'm now regretting not going into that giant LDS temple in my hometown of LA. I was under the incorrect impression that they only had US records and maybe some European records. Do they have anything that is not on FamilySearch or My Heritage?

Any help welcome...

Thanks,

Rachel Juarez Vargas

Comment

Rachel,

That is the question we have all been asking … I believe that there is at least one Informaciones Matrimoniales that state that Petronila was Moctezuma’s granddaughter … at least that is what memory serves. The million dollar question is who her parents were. Supposedly, Guillermo Tovar de Teresa had located proof of her parentage and supporting the theory that she was daughter of Diego Sotelo; unfortunately, he died before he was able to publish his findings. However, he did share his information with Mariano González-Leal so there is hope to getting our questions answered.

As fo Martin … I believe he was Martin de Gabay, el Navarro. However, he has been referred to as Martin Navarro as well.

If you look back in the archives on Nuestros Ranchos, you will see that this topic is pretty well covered.

Comment

I've spent my morning/early afternoon researching this topic. I read the portion of Margo Tamez' dissertation on Indigenous Women in regard to Petronila. She lists a marriage record but it is not on Family Search. Is there another LDS repository that I am unaware of?

PETRONILA DE MOCTEZUMA, b. Aguascalientes, Abt. 1550. Married to Martin Navarro.
Listed with parents: Francisca GABAY Born Abt. 1577, marriage Abt. 1594 Mexico, DF
LDS marriage film Batch # F868769, Sheet 031, Source 1396289.

If Lope Ruiz de Esparza was correct in calling her "Moctezuma's grand daughter" then she is not the daughter of Leonor and Diego. She cannot be Valderrama's daughter because he died in 1537 and Petronila was born around 1552.

Comment

She would have to be a g-grand daughter of Moctezuma. I don’t remember the exact verbage but I do know the there has been confusion with all the Leonor’s in this line. As for other records … the Informaciones Matrimoniales are usually not in the database. Those you have to look at the actual film which is probably available on-line.

You have peaked my interest. I will take a look at the dissertation you mentioned and as well as the LDS record so I can see what you see. Also, I will see if I have links to any documents that mention them.

Hello Rachel, Batch # F868769, Sheet 031, Source 1396289 would have been created by Jaime Holcombe Isunza, q.e.p.d., and are not available online. See http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/14203#comment-29226 and https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/319732?availability=Family%…

I have copies of some of his Family Group Sheets. They have names of the esposo, esposa, sometimes the names of the parents of the esposo and esposa, the names of the children of the esposo and esposa, and their children and the spouse of the children and the dates of each of them as well as the source information. Unfortunately the source information is the film number in Mexico and not the LDS film number but if there is a number it means there is a microfilm with information about one or more of the family members. By now we would have copies of all of the information on the sheets since they are all based on the same microfilms that have been digitized and placed online.

I uploaded a copy of the FGS sheet of Tomás de Villalobos cc Catarina Macias Valadez to Google drive at https://bit.ly/2QmjujL so you can see what the FGS sheets look like.

I also uploaded, to the same folder, a Microsoft document with letters by Jaime Holcombe Isunza to Mary Lou Montagna that she was willing to share with us some years ago. Jaime Holcombe mentions records that include references to Petronila de Moctezuma.

SHARR is at https://shhar.org/ and stands for Society of Hispanic Historical and Ancestral Research

It seems that the earliest document that anyone has found and shared that mentions Petronila de Moctezuma was in 1702 in the dispensa of Tomasa de la Rosa y Ulloa. There is a link to it at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Moctezuma-1 I uploaded a full transcription of it to the Google drive. It mentions her as hija de Pedro de Ulloa Marquez nieta de María Ruiz de Esparza bisnieta de Francisca Gabai y tercera nieta de los dichos Martin Navarro y Doña Petronila Montesuma.

Supposedly Martín Navarro Gabay received a grant for land between Mexticacán and Acasico in 1570. That is another document that would be a great find.

I have a copy of Retoños de España en La Nueva Galicia Tomo VII (2011) by Mariano González Leal which has a section on Moctezuma which mentions doña Petronila Moctezuma as a wife of Martín de Gabay, conocido como el Navarro, and as a daughter of doña Leonor de Valderrama y Moctezuma and of Diego de Arias Sotelo and as the granddaughter of Cristóbal de Valderrama and of Leonor de Moctezuma and as the great-granddaughter of Moctezuma II. This section is all based on the research by don Guillermo Tovar de Teresa, q.e.p.d.. This document that don Guillermo Tovar de Teresa had found is the one that all of us need to put to rest the speculation of her ancestry.

PARES (Portal de Archivos Españoles) is at http://pares.mcu.es/ and there are a huge number of digitized records from Mexico on the site. You can do a simple search or if you already have the section that the record is found in and the signatura then you can do an advanced search.

There is descendant tree of Moctezuma created about 1574 that mentions doña Leonor casada con Xpoval de Valderrama and that they had Leonor de Valderrama who married Diego Arias Sotelo and they had a son named don Fernando Sotelo who would have been the brother of Petronila de Moctezuma if the hypothesis of her ancestry is correct. The tree stated that there are other children of Leonor de Valderrama and Diego Arias Sotelo.

To see the tree go to http://pares.mcu.es/ then to Busqueda Avanzada then to FILTRO POR SIGNATURA then paste the following PATRONATO,245,R.5 then click Buscar.

Since we are talking about potentially, or likely, being descendants of Diego de Arias Sotelo I should point out that some sites mention his death as July 7, 1566 when in reality that is the date he and his brother were ordered to appear in Mexico City. Título de la unidad: "Proceso contra Diego Arias de Sotelo:rebelión Nueva España" Archivo: Archivo General de Indias Signatura: PATRONATO,217,R.3 Fecha Creación: 1566

Diego de Arias Sotelo was still alive in 1573, and maybe even in 1587, according to documents found at PARES.

Comment

Dear Rachael Juarez Vargas,

I am very curious about your statement:

“Have also lost Charlemagne. He is a direct ancestor of Cristobal Valderrama and Diego de Sotelo.”

How are Cristobal Valderrama and Diego de Sotelo.descendants of CHARLEMAGNE?

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

Comment

Dear Rachael

I too am curious. A few years ago I was trying to untangle the Sotelo lines in Spain, Mexico and South America...very intersting family but I did not get further back (with reasonable certainty) than Diego Sotelo's parents.

Regards
Denise Fastrup

Comment

I got a family tree from a distant cousin. I am still trying to sort the truth from fiction. Ironically, I had ironed out the link to Moctezuma that I thought was iffy when I found out Petronilla was iffy.

I get to royalto via Pedro de Sotelo, the alleged father of both Antonio de Sotelo (Diego's father) and Christobal Valderrama. I have to look at my records but I believe I proved Antonio is the son of Pedro but I don't know why I have Cristobal as the son of Pedro de Sotelo and Ines Cisneros. Pedro de Sotelo goes to a King of Portugal, once I got there I just used history sites.

I found a lot of info here: https://www.genealogieonline.nl/en/ which ancestry.com uses as a source. However, now that I have more experience in online genealogical research, I am not sure what type of site it is and if its reliable. I'm not sure if it's a European Records repository similar to Family Search or a crowd sourced tree like WikiTree.

I just found this by googling but who put it up there and is it sourced:
http://ojocaliente.nfshost.com/getperson.php?personID=I2475&tree=1A

I keep running into out of print books written in Mexico and Spain as sources for both my famous and my unfamous ancestors. My Spanish is atrocious but I am willing to give it a try if I can find the book (or ship them to Mexico so my aunt or cousin can read it).

I'll keep looking and posting. I may start actually using Roots Magic vs. Ancestry.com as my source of truth so I can download everything.

Cheers!

Rachel

Comment

Hi Rachel

It's wonderful to see your enthusiasm! There will be brick walls, but the only thing to do it move on to another branch for a while where you can make progress. I find that if I take a break from one line, and pick it up later, I discover new info or see something I overlooked.

My best advice is to rely on original documents - church or civil records of birth, marriage, death, infomacion matrimoniales, etc. - I use FamilySearch and sometimes ancestry as a way in. Other - secondary - sources can point you in the right direction, give you a good lead, but I would not base my family tree on these (published article and books by historians who provide their sources are another matter though). I save links, source citations, and screenshots in google docs, and print out now and then. This is especially important when a film is not indexed and has to be reviewed image by image. The work is very painstaking, but also rewarding when you make a discovery that pushes a line back one more generation, or you find out something you did not expect.

Regarding Antonio de Sotelo, father of Diego Arias de Sotelo, the consensus from the earlier posts is that no document has been found that shows how he is related to the other Sotelos of Zamora. All we know for sure are the names of his brothers and parents, as they are mentioned in the record of the "conspiracion" trial of Martin Cortez and his co-defendants and in the document Confirmacion de Oficio where Diego Arias Sotelo is confirmed for the office of regidor (parents named). It would be great to see what you have on this issue.

You mention Christobal de Valderrama - I am wondering if you mean the son of Diego Arias de Sotelo and Leonor Valderrama?

Good Luck with your research!

Regards
Denise

Comment

Hi Denise,

The furthest I can prove with records at the moment is the line from my mom to Lope Ruiz de Ezparza el menor and his wife Ana Francisca de Gabay or Navarro or whatever her father's name was. I have seen records or books naming Lope's parents but I don't have those records saved to Ancestry.com.

Cristobal de Valderrama was Mariana Leonor Moctezuma's second husband, father of Leonor Valderrama Moctezuma and father in law of Diego Arias de Sotelo. I have him as "de Valderrama" which is how I have seen him listed. I thought it was because he was from Valderrama, Burgos, Casile & Leon, Spain. It's near the border between Castile and Basque country. I've only seen his name in books which I didn't screenshot.

I am going to start doing that now. I've been reading other trees on Ancestry. A lot of them have notes and some have photos of records. I think a lot of people may keep their sources offline. I can't imagine knowing what someone did for a living without having a record.

Luisa Ortiz de Saavedra is my 13th Great Grandmother. Her father is listed as Diego Hortiz Saavedra on her marriage record. Her mother is listed as Catalina Munoz - however, the only record I can find for Diego - is a marriage to Catalina Gomez. I can see where it is possible for Catalina Munoz and Catalina Gomez to be the same person but I would need to see the records. I literally just discovered PARES and now I have to learn how to use it. I have records going from my mom to Luisa and Diego if you count the marriage certificate.

The reason the Saavedras caught my attention is that the name is unusual.

I'm doing all this research on my mom's distant ancestors because my father's side is a total dead end. The family is from Guanajuato and Galicia, Spain (allegedly) but I can't find anyone before 1800. The male line (allegedly) came to Guanajuato in 1820 but my great uncle who wrote the family history wasn't sure if they came directly from Galicia or to Cuba in the 1500s and Mexico in the 1800s.So here I am. I'm stubborn and I just got out of grad school. If something exists I will find it.

I'd do better if the names made sense. Is Don Diego Arias de Sotelo, Lord/Sir Diego Arias from Sotelo or is he Lord/Sir Diego Arias-Sotelo?

Comment

In case any of you don’t have this, here’s the 27 Aug 1594 IM of Cristobal Sotelo Valderrama and Juana de Heredia Patiño, hija de Baltasar de Vargas cc Francisca de Heredia. Apparently, Cristobal’s sister was “maliciously” opposed to this union. I don’t know if the marriage ever happened.

DIEGO ORTIZ DE SAAVEDRA

Rachel - according to the info that his son gave when taking his orders, the elder Diego Ortiz de Saavedra was from Almendralejo, Badajoz, Extremadura. His parents’ names aren’t given, but they were also residents of Almendralejo, Valladolid isn’t mentioned. Catalina Muñoz was daughter of Francisco Muñoz and Luisa de Nava, of Lagos.
Otherwise, Diego Ortiz was confirmed as alguacil mayor (high sheriff) of Lagos, Aguascalientes and Teocaltiche on 26 Feb 1611, as per PARES. That document doesn’t give any more info, other than his name is written Diego Ortiz de Saavedra y Paradas.

That’s interesting, what that book says about Beatriz mulata, the mother of the younger Diego Ortiz’s child, being accused of poisoning him. Her proceso criminal had her accused of poisoning this one’s nephew, who was also named Diego Ortiz. To call her “shameless” is ironic, seeing how Licenciado Diego Ortiz was the commissary of the Santo Oficio, whose job was to prosecute priests for that type of behavior (!!!). I doubt Beatriz had much say in the matter, having been born a slave. Age old story: blame the victim. She had a very compelling story, maybe I should write something about her.

I hope that helps!

Comment

Hi Manny

This is wonderful! Thanks for posting the link, I can see it states both Christobal's parents are deceased. Looking forward to trying the read why his sister was opposed to the marriage!

THe marriage did go through, and when Christobal died, Juana inherited his share of Ecatepec and then sued to get half of Christobal's sister's share of Ecatepec. Had she not done that, all of sister Ana's share would have gone to Fernando Sotelo de Moctezuma. (The three siblings had each inherited a third). This is described in more detail in Moctezuma's Children by Donald E. Chipman, p. 81.

Regards
Denise

Comment

Denise - I’m not sure if it gives the reason why Ana Sotelo didn’t want her brother to marry - the document isn’t in very good condition and is a difficult read, but there doesn’t appear to be any details.

Rachel - I forgot to leave the link to Diego Ortiz de Saavedra el Mozo’s ordenes.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DV99-CS?i=93&wc=SSKC-L…

Here’s something of interest to anyone else who has Muñoz de Nava in their lines: while reviewing Diego Ortiz de Saavedra’s ordenes, I saw something I hadn’t noticed before: one of the testigos was Capitan Francisco Tavera, age 70+ (img100R). He says that he remembers when Diego Ortiz was baptized (on 12 Aug 1601), “because the previous year, this witness married Luisa de Nava, the grandmother of aforementioned Diego Ortiz.” That’s news to me - I’ve never seen any mention of this marriage before! That tells us that Francisco Muñoz died before 1600, when Luisa de Nava married Francisco Tavera. As to the identity of this Capitan Francisco Tavera, we should leave that for another thread.
Saludos!

Comment

I found a document in Somos Primos when I was looking up the de Anda-Altamiranos (another of my Lagos lines) which also read "Don Diego Ortiz de Saavedra, alguacil mayor y también de los primeros pobladores de Lagos, cuando él muere, su esposa, Doña Catalina Muñoz de Jerez." vs Catalina Munoz de Nava. I also show a Cathalina Lopez de Nava as the wife of Juan Gomez de Portugal. My sources are starting to contradict themselves!

The document is almost to the bottom of the page it's called La Hacienda de San Nicola de Frias by Guillermo Padilla Origel

http://www.somosprimos.com/sp2002/spnov02.htm#MEXICO

Now I'm off to attempt to read "Vecinos de casa poblada: Los Gómez de Portugal de Santa María de los Lagos, 1563-1810" by Dra. Lina Mercedes Cruz Lira of the University of Guadalajara. Hmmm... I may want to see if I can get in during her office hours when I'm down there. I can speak Spanish it's reading it that is hard for me. Below is a link if anyone is intersted.

Comment

Dear Rachel,

If you have done lots of research you will find that sometimes sources contradict each other. You then need More research and mental gymnastics to figure our the possible reasons for the contradictions and the true ancestry. There is another contradiction in the ancestry of the Gómez de Portugal ancestry. One ancestry shows Diego Gómez de Portugal to be a great-grandson of a king of Portugal, while another ancestry shows a different great grandfather

Good Luck in your research,
Rick

Comment

Hi Rachel,

After reading through the Guillermo Padilla Origel piece that you cited, I think I can see the source of some of the contradictions. Except for maybe the land titles, almost everything he says about the Ortiz de Saavedra’s is incorrect. I’ve read other articles by Padilla Origel in the past, and he seems to get people with the same names mixed up. It makes me wonder if he ever backed up his work with documentation, or did any cross referencing? Catalina Muñoz was not a Muñoz de Jerez: as established in the orders of her son, Diego Ortiz “el Mozo,” she was daughter of Francisco Muñoz and Luisa de Nava. The Muñoz de Jerez of Lagos descend from Luisa de Nava’s sister, Catalina Lopez, who was married to Rodrigo Muñoz de Jerez. And Diego Ortiz and Catalina Muñoz did have a daughter named Maria Ortiz de Saavedra, but she was married to Fernando de Costilla y Espinosa, and not to Alonso Sanchez Bañales and Mateo de Villanueva. The one who married them was her cousin, Maria Ortiz de Parada, daughter of Lazaro Ortiz de Parada and Catalina de Ulloa. I have all of this sourced & documented, and it’ll probably correspond with other trees you see out there.

I hope that helps!

Comment

Hi Manny,

I bought "Colonial Spanish America: A Documentary History" by Taylor and Mills because I saw screenshot of it somewhere in regard to Diego Ortiz de Saavedra. I had not idea there was more than one Diego Ortiz de Saavedra. As I read it, my 12th GGPs Luisa Ortiz de Saavedra and Juan Saez de Viduarre were upset because Diego, Jr. left Beatriz his property. Juan was the magistrate. Beatriz was the mistress of several notable local men in Lagos and she was a bitch to Diego Jr.'s slaves, regardless much to my GGPs chagrin she was aquitted. Beatriz had been freed for a while at this point.

The reason I thought Diego Sr. came from Valladolid is because I saw something stating that Luisa was born there but that doesn't mean he was from there. The Parada name comes from Maria Ortiz de Saavedra's children. She was Luisa's younger sister. She married Sebastian Parada. Since I'm currently researching my direct line, I don't know much about them but I will get to them at somepoint.

Thanks,

Rachel

Comment

That's Cristobal Sotelo Valderamma, Cristobal de Valderamma's grandson. I don't understand how the honorific "Don" would help distinguish them, aren't they both "Dons"? It *does* explain the source that I saw that thought Cristobal, Sr. was a Sotelo.

Ana was a nun, perhaps Juana was of a similar disposition to Beatriz but without the extenuating circumstances.

Ana and Cristobal, Jr. (and Fernando) bring us back to Petronila Moctezuma, mother in law of Lope Ruiz de Esparza and "grand daughter of Moctezuma". Cristobal, Jr., Ana and Fernando were Moctezuma's great-grandchildren and Petronila's sibling based on the most common place she is placed in the genealogies.

Comment

Happy New Year,

Rachel,

I was very surprised to hear about Conquistador Cristóbal Valderrama’s ancestry as I don’t even know who his parents are. The information that I have is that:

He was accused of being a practicing Jew.
He was from “Valderrama, partido de la Sierra en Tobalina, Burgos, Castilla y León, Spain”,
He was born in 1490/1495 in Barcelona, provincia da Cataluña, Spain,
He married Mariana “Leonor” Moctezuma in 1931 as her second husband,
He is mentioned in the early history of Michoacan where he was given the encomienda of Tarimbaro in 1526. His wife Mariana/ Leonor already owned the encomienda of Ecatepac prior to their marriage.
He passed away in Ciudad Mexico, D.F., Mexico in November of 1537.

I don’t have any records at all indicating leads as to who his parents are, or any mention of a descent from Charlemagne. I would appreciate any information on Cristóbal Valderrama’s ancestry.

=====/====================/==========================================
First known evidence of Leonor Moctezuma /Sotelo /Petronila connection to Moctezuma:

The first known appearance of evidence is a family chart that appears in 1574.

The first document that I read is dated 1595 and the scribe is quoting Lope Ruiz De Esparza.

======================================================================

Denise,

I also found the Sotelo family to be very interesting. The accusations against this family in “inquisicion” records shows us how ugly the inquisition really was. This family’s christian faith was truly put to the test.

The star that served as a beacon for Christian faith is a member of the Sotelo family. In comparison, Sor Juana Ines De la Cruz stands out as a beacon for women, and men, for her Intelligence, her stand on women’s rights, and her poems. Juana Ines de la Cruz’s christian faith was admirable, but the beacon for Her religious faith was a member of the Sotelo family as she stood up and fought the inquistion. Her story is the highlight in my book on the Sotelo family.

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

Hi Rick

I have been trying to remember the name of the Sotelo lady who was Lutheran in the 16th century, I think it was Marina de Saavedra, married to Pedro Cisneros de Sotelo.

Very interesting story about her, written by Doris Moreno Martinez:
https://books.google.dk/books?id=9QS4CwAAQBAJ&pg=PT347&dq=sotelo+marina…

Devout Laywomen in the Early Modern World
editado por Alison Weber (Chapter 10 is about Marina de Saavedra)

There are several Sotelos mentioned here, some of which are the same people mentioned in the comments in this thread here in NR:
http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/21997

With regard to the parentage of Diego ARias de Sotelo, the problem has been to document that his father was the Sotelo who accompanied Hernan Cortes. To my knowledge, we do not have a source on that. It would have been great if Diego Sotelos Confirmation de Oficio of 1559 had mentioned it specifically...

Another interesting Sotelo: Pedro Arias Davila aka Pedrarias, mentioned in a letter from Diego Arias Sotelo to his son, who identifies him as Pedrarias de Sotelo -
see page 5 of the comments on this thread: http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/21906?page=4
There is a chapter on him in the book Rivers of Gold by Hugh Thomas. Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how he is related to Diego...

Dear Denise,

Even though she was convicted for practicing Lutheranism, it appears that she was innocent in the sense that she believed that she was deepening her faith in Christianity, and did not see her self as practicing anything other than the Catholic religion. Her participation in prayer and scripture study groups seemed to her to be a deepening of her Catholic faith. She was a woman full of love for her neighbors and should have been considered a saint instead of a heretic. Her biggest mistake it seems was taking to heart the teachings of Erasmus. I only call it a mistake because of the persecution that she suffered because of it. She wasn’t the only Sotelo family member that was accused of heresy. What makes her stand out is her “innocence” just jumps out to the reader when you read about her life.

There was much controversy over the writings of Erasmus as he preached that the spread of Classical knowledge encouraged a better morality and greater understanding between people. Erasmus lectured and collaborated with Thomas More and other many brilliant fellow theologians of his time.

Erasmus never officially left the Catholic Church. Erasmus believed that what mattered most was a believer's direct relationship with God. After he passed away, the inquisition targeted people that studied his writings and charged them with heresy, Early in Erasmus’s life, he preached that Luther and others had gone too far and that they should seek reform within the church through proper channels instead of rebelling. Towards the end of Erasmus’s life he stopped preaching against the Protestants Radicalism and seemed to become disenchanted with the lack of progress of Catholic reforms. After Erasmus passed away, his name became associated with calls for reform so those that didn’t want any change claimed that only heretics read his writings. By the time of his death, most of the brilliant thinkers that he had collaborated had either passed away, become a Protestant, or stayed quiet in order to not have to deal with the inquisition.

For most of Erasmus’s life he was criticized by reformers for having to much patience with the Catholic Church and not pressing for immediate change. It is ironic that once he passed away that anyone promoting his ideas was placed under suspicion for heresy by the inquisition.

As you can readily tell, I look up to this Sotelo family member who I consider a Saint.

Wishing you a happy and fruitful new year,

Hi Rick

Thanks for the info on Marina de Saavedra, she was truly a courageous person during a time when a challenge to the Catholic church's dogma (or actions the church perceived as a challenge) could get you burned as a heretic - this was in fact the fate of her nephew Pedro de Sotelo. She herself was imprisoned for life at the order of the Inquisition. The record of her trial reveals that she both denied heresy and admitted to having believed, for a period of time, some of the heretical (Lutheran) doctrine. What she ultimately believed in her heart we will never know - she had a husband, two daughters and many sons who lives would be affected if she did not reconcile with the church. (This is from the text I mentioned in my previous post)... And yes, Erasmus is also a fascination figure that I know all too little about - added to my list of persons to read up on :)

As for Diego Arias Sotelo, we know for a fact that his brother was Baltasar Sotelo who was also implicated, found guilty, and beheaded for his part in the "conspiración de Martin Cortes." The record of the trial includes information about where their family is from - Zamora - and this is the same place where the Cisneros de Sotelo are based. So, Diego is somehow linked to Pedro Sotelo and the other Sotelos mention in the text on Marina de Saavedra, but as I have mentioned, I was never able to establish exactly how. HOPEFULLY someday someone will make it a master's thesis or something....

Wishing you a Happy New Year and continuing success in your geneaology research!

Hi Denise,

Marina de Saavedra was the wife of Pablo Cisneros Sotelo. Pablo is a brother of Conquistador Antonio Sotelo Cisneros. The Sotelo family that went to South America used Cisneros as the first surname Marina has her name written many different ways in the inquisition records: Sayabedra, Saavedra, Sallebedra are some of the surnames she used. Her first name has been given as Marina and Ana.

Pablo Cisneros Sotelo and Antonio de Sotelo y Cisneros are sons of don Pedro de Sotelo and doña Inés de Cisneros. Pablo and Antonio have two other brothers named Gregorio and Juan. Pedro’s father is Lope Sotelo. Pedro Sotelo has at least two brothers named Francisco and Alonso.

Even though Marina Saavedra was sentenced to life in prison on 21/May/1559, by 1567 she had already been allowed to return to her home.

One of the officials of the inquisition is a family member of the Sotelo family. I don’t know the exact relationship. His name is Inquisitor General Diego de Deza

I too have found it interesting that in a letter from Diego Arias Sotelo to his son, Diego identifies Pedro Arias De Avila as Pedrarias de Sotelo ( aka Pedro Arias Davila aka Pedrarias, )

Pedro Arias de Avila’s wife, mother and grandmother come from Jewish families that were recent converts to Catholicism under the forced conversions. His grandmother, Elvira Gonzalez, converted in 1411. His mother is a member of the Jewish Cota and Ortiz families from Toledo. His wife is a member of the Conversó Fernandez Bobadilla family These families were considered “cryptojews” even though some family members entered priesthood.

I have not been able to find the relationship between Pedro Arias Davila (Pedrarias de Sotelo) and Diego Arias Sotelo. Diego Arias Sotelo was not a recent convert, yet the family’s familiarity with studying scriptures leads to the conjecture that they had conversó ancestors. Studying scripture was part of common Jewish life and not common for Catholics unless they belonged to a religious order

Wishing you the best,
Thanks,

Hi Rick and NR members intersted in the Sotelo family

Very interesting with all those Sotelos, Rick! I checked in PARES and there are many entries with these names (and other Sotelos) in the 1500s.

I also did a search here in NR because several of us posted on Diego Arias Sotelo and his descendants some years ago - there is a lot from 2014. It was fun re-reading the old posts. It looks like we overlooked one interesting doc in PARES - sorry, the link doesn't work, so the path to the doc is copy-pasted here:

My Spanish is not good enough to understand everything, but I have a feeling you (Rick) and others would be able to read it without much problem, the handwriting is reasonably legible. Its easy to read "nieta de motecuma" for example, right after the name dona Leonor Valderrama Motecuma (...) muger.

So, if anyone has time to take a look at it...

Denise

Hi Rick and Denise,

Can you fill me in on the Saavedras? I found a couple of them in the records on Ancestry.com. Luisa Ortiz de Saavedra wife of Juan Saez De Vidaurri in 1620. Her parents are listed as Diego Hortiz Saavedra and Carolina Muñoz. These Saavedras are from Valladolid Spain. Juan Saenz is from Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico, where generations of my ancestors seem to have lived for generations. Diego is a dead end because there are too many people with similar names. A younger Diego Ortiz was a priest in Lagos who had a child with a "shameless mulatta" named Beatriz who later poisoned him as per "Colonial Spanish America: A Documentary History edited by Kenneth Mills, William B. Taylor"

I've ordered a copy from Amazon becuase it appears to cover Lagos.

Thanks!

Rachel

Hi Rachel

I am afraid I don't have any other info on the Saavedras than what I already have posted. I have not seen any Saavendras on my family tree (YET!). Sorry I cannot give more help at this point. But if I come across any Saavedras in the very early records (1500s and 1600s) I will reply to your post here.
Regards
Denise

He is supposed to be a De Sotelo (brother of Antonio, uncle of Diego) but I have to look at my notes to see where I got that information. I think it was a screenshot of one of those out of print books that drive me insane. I have a giant tree from a distant cousin that I have been sourcing for 4 years! The darn thing is huge and unsourced.

I'll get back to you when I find it.

Hi Rick,

On 8 Nov 2019 in this thread, at the end of the 2nd paragraph, you wrote:

“Other records show Petronila Moctezuma as madrina of children of the Sotelo Valderrama Moctezuma family. “

What are those records, and are they available online?

Thanks, and I hope you’re well!
Manny Díez Hermosillo

Comment

Is there still debate about whether or not Petronila de Moctezuma was a direct line descendant of Moctezuma, and who her parents were?

I have read Margo Tamez's Ph.D disseration about Petronila's lineage and the debate about who her parents were. I also read in Retonos de Espana en la Nueva Galicia, volume 7, page 214, author Mauriano Gonzalez- Leal, that Petronila is a child of Leonor de Valderamma y Moctezuma and Diego Arias de Sotelo.

Is there now general consensus about her parents? Have any documents been identified that support the theory about her parents?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Comment

I personally read a document written in 1595 that quotes Lope Ruiz De Esparza as stating that he arrived two years earlier, and that since he had arrived, he had married Francisca Gabai. He also stated that his mother in law was a granddaughter of Moctezuma. He misspoke as he should have said great granddaughter

Rick A. Ricci

Comment

As a descendant of Moctezuma, Leonor de Valderrama inherited the encomendera of Tarimbaro and Ecatepec. She is thought to have died around 1562. When her husband was exiled to Spain in 1568, managing the encomendera fell to her oldest son, Fernando. In his book "Moctezuma's Children: Aztec Royalty under Spanish Rule, 1520-1700", author Donald E. Chipman writes that Fernando's inheritance was contested by his brother, Cristobal. In 1588, after a twenty year legal battle, the Audiencia of new Spain ruled in favor of Fernando. However, Cristobal appealed the decision. In 1593, Fernando was forced to divided the estates into three equal shares with one share going to Fernando, one share going to Cristobal, and one share going to their sister, Ana. As a young maiden, Ana made the decision to dedicate her life to her faith and became a nun serving in the convent of Santa Clara in Mexico City. She renounced her share in favor of her brothers.

I am assuming that Mr.Chipman thoroughly reviewed available documentation regarding the lawsuit when he researched the subject. Given that there is no mention of a second sister, this should cast doubt regarding the assertion that Petronila is a daughter of Leonor Valderrama. Even so, in her doctorate dissertation Dr. Margo Tamez vigorously defends her theory regarding Petronila's relationship to Moctezuma.

It should be noted that if Petronila was the daughter of Diego Arias and Leonor de Valderrama, she should have been entitled to a portion of the settlement that was awarded as a result of Cristobal's lawsuit. I believe it is unlikely Petronila's husband would have allowed the prospect of receiving a share of the settlement to pass without taking some action. He would have documented her lineage and claimed a share. After all, he had 25 years to pull this together and the settlement would have been substantial.

At least that's my take on the controversy.

Comment

Some wills name all the children, while giving the inheritance to only some of the children. On many occasions I have come across wills that don’t identify all the children, naming only those that are chosen to inherit. Not only have I seen this in my research, I have also experienced this personally in my own family. Some times children are not named in wills. Sometimes the parents only left the inheritance only to the eldest of their children. I have a family member that wrote his will that only gave an inheritance to the youngest half of his children. I had a great uncle that excluded a child from his will because he secretly provided that child with a sizable chunk of change before he passed away. He wanted to make sure that there weren’t bad feelings as to who got what after he passed away. Another family member of mine left all of her belongings to two of her children and did not name her other two children in her will. I have at least three ancestors that were not named in their father’s will as they were born after the wills had been written, two of them after their father passed away. Sor Juan Ynes De la Cruz’s paternal uncle is not named in his father’s will as he was born after his father passed away.

Chapman named more than three children, at least two digits, and then stated that there were at least five others that remained unnamed by him. (I don’t remember the exact numbers, but I can check since I do own his book.)

I myself have been told repeatedly that I am not even named in my father’s will, forget about me inheriting anything. I am a legitimate son. So because someone is not named doesn’t mean that they aren’t a child of that person.

Comment

Hi rlm99x

I wondered about this too, (I have Chipmans book) but in colonial Mexico, when a daughter gets married her father gives her a dowry (dota). It would then make sense that she would not get a part of the estate upon her fathers death. I am sure I read this somewhere back in my anthropology grad student days. Anyone else ever hear of this? Because it would explain why Petronila is not a part in her brother's lawsuit. I also wondered if it was convenient for Fernando, as his first order of business after his father was exiled, to get Petronila married off.

Best Regards,
Denise

Comment

It is certainly a possibility that if Petronila received a dowry she may have been excluded from receiving any additional benefits from her parents. It appears no one has seen a testament from Leonor Valderrama or Diego de Arias. What is clear is that Diego named Fernando as his heir.

For those that have not looked at the website, Spain has made many of their documents accessible through the Portal de Archivos Espanoles. It includes a royal decree, sought by Diego, dated May 27, 1573. The abstract reads: Real cédula concediendo a Diego Arias Sotelo, vecino y regidor de México el término de un año para que la ausencia de Nueva España de Hernando Sotelo Moctezuma, su hijo y de Leonor Valderrama Moctezuma, no perjudique su derecho a la sucesión de los indios de dicha tierra si falleciese en dicho plazo.

The reference to Hernando is a transcription error. The document clearly says Fernando. The original document can be viewed as well.

If Fernando is the heir apparent, why did Cristobal feel he had a legitimate claim? If Ana is a nun and did not seek any part of the inheritance, why was she included in the settlement? Obviously Cristobal would have received a larger share if she was excluded. If Petronila was not eligible due to her having received a dowry, why was there no mention of that (or her) in the lawsuit (an assumption based on the fact that Donald Chipman seems to be unaware of her existence). Given Cristobal's lawsuit, it seems to me you would want to make it clear that you had a sister that was not eligible.

I can't begin to count the number of Monterrey protocolos I've viewed. With respect to an inheritance, I've seen several lawsuits brought forward by the husband of a wife that received a dowry.

I'm not saying any of the comments made as part of this post are inaccurate. On the contrary, a lot of valid points have been made. Just saying that I would like to see something more concrete before I claim Moctezuma as an ancestor and I hope someone produces a document in the future that ends the controversy.

Comment

Hi rlm99x

I too would like to see a document, a primary source that connects Petronila with Diego Arias de Sotelo and Leonor de Valderrama y Moctezuma. I have the same questions you do. Some years back I spent time searching PARES for documents involving Diego Arias Sotelo and his sons. That was when I found a letter dated 1582 - Carlos Peredo was able to compare a signature on this document with a known signature of Diego Arias de Sotelo and we now can be reasonably sure the one from 1582 is also Diego. Carlos was also able to transcribe parts of it. (So at least we knew he didn't die on a ship of the coast of Oran. He was sentenced to that fate for his role in the conspiracy of the the mid 1560's involving, among others, Hernan Cortez's sons.) Regarding PARES, there are lots of documents with his name, and I only saw the tip of the iceberg. I hope some has the time to do further research there, and can read colonial Spanish. At any rate, his testamento would have to be after the date of that letter - that much we can conclude.
To see this letter from 1582, go to PARES and do a buscar sencillo for "Cristobal Valderrama Sotelo" limited to 1582 and it will pop up. There are 18 images for this application to return to Mexico, and the letter from Diego is one of them.

People question Petronila’s ancestry even though I have repeatedly stated that I have seen proof of her ancestry. I don’t mind people saying that they are not convinced, and won’t be convinced, until they see the document themselves. If I were in their place I too would say “Show me the money”.

And that is why I say I am a very lucky man. I don’t have to rely on what someone else says about seeing proof that Petronila Moctezuma descends from Moctezuma II. Though I can’t find the document that I saw in the Church of Latter Day Saints Library on Santa Monica Blvd in Westwood, I know it exists and that I had it in my hands.

On that day that I took the day off from work to go to the library I was inundated with guilt. I didn’t tell my wife and snuck into the library like a thief. It was the last day before it was to be shut down for “six months” for renovation. The renovation took much, much longer than six months, about two years. I no longer feel guilty for indulging in my hobby and missing work that day because I don’t have to doubt her ancestry!!! And I feel extremely blessed whenever someone doubts my story as it reminds me how lucky I was to see it and have it in my hands.

If It wasn’t me that saw the record I bet I would spend days and weeks instead of hours at the library trying to track it down but I don’t need the record so I spend my time doing other research. The record is in the library though no one can find it.

Hola prim@s,

You’ve all made great points, and thanks for sharing your thoughts & findings.

I have no doubts that Rick saw that document. We now know it exists, and hopefully, some day, someone will locate it. From Rick’s description, it doesn’t appear to explain the relationship, other than Lope Ruiz de Esparza’s suegra “was a granddaughter of Moctezuma II.” That said, Moctezuma II had numerous wives and concubines, and fathered dozens of children, so the relationship doesn’t necessarily have to be through Diego Arias & Leonor Valderrama (as someone else once pointed out in another NR thread). We all just might be barking up the wrong branch of the tree.

That’s my 2 cents.Thanks!

Hi Rick,

That is awesome!!
Would you provide a link to the source, name or more information so I/others can review it as well? Or send me the document file if you have it?

Petronila is my 12x great-grandmother.
