Does anyone have more information on the following families, who lived mostly around Leon, San Francisco del Rincón, or Celaya Guanajuato, butwho also had descendants living in San Diego de Alejandría, Ayo el Chico, and Arandas? The following list is only those from whom I am a direct descendant, since many of these families with the possible exception of the Cobian de Busto, often had many children. I would be grateful for any information since it has been somewhat difficult to research these families because many of the records from San Francisco del Rincón have not been indexed by FamilySearch.

Cobian de Busto
The furthest ancestors I have been able to identify is Antonio Cobian de Busto Who married Isabel de Tapia In Mexico City on 17 Mar 1717
( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939Z-5N9H-K4?i=698&wc=3P62-… ). Their marriage was also recorded in 1733 in Celaya, where they were vecinos, mentioning that their marriage had occured earlier in Mexico City. Neither record lists their parents. They had at least two sons:

Antonio Maria Salvador, baptized in Celaya in 1725 with Dn Agustin Sandoval and Dna Manuela Estrada as godparents ( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9G66-GX3?i=584&wc=3V4C… ). Antonio was teniente de cura of San Francisco del Rincon around the middle of the 18th century.

Francisco Xavier Cleto Marcelino, baptized in Celaya in 1727 with Dn Manuel de la Riba as godfather ( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GG66-PZ1?i=605&wc=3V4C… ). His marriage record states that he came to San Francisco del Rincón in 1756, probably with his brother Antonio. In 1757 he married Maria Eusevia de los Dolores Chavez-Campoverde y Sanchez Sotomayor, the daughter of Miguel de Chavez Campoverde and Alexandra Isabel Sanchez de Soto, (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GG55-9MWC?i=74&wc=3VHJ…). He died betwesn 1777 and 1782 in San Francisco del Rincon. They are the ancestors of the Cobian families of San Francisco del Rincon, and I descend from his son:

Juan de Dios, Who married Maria Josefa Munoz de Aceves y Sanchez, the daughter of Juan Estevan Munoz de Aceves and Maria Antonia de la Encarnacion Sanchez. They are my 7th great-grandparents through their daughter Maria Rafaela Cobian (b. 13 Aug 1791) who married Pedro Villalobos Lopez (son of Jose Anastacio Villalobos and Tomasa Rosalia Lopez) who lived in the jurisdictions of San Diego de Alejandria, Arandas, and San Miguel el Alto. If anyone has any information about Jose Anastacio Villalobos and Tomas Rosalia Lopez I would also greatly appreciate it, since they are another brick wall.

Munoz de Aceves
I don't know the exact realtionship (or if there is one) between these Munoz de Aceves and those of los Altos descended from Carlos Munoz de Aceves. Maria Josefa Munoz's father, Juan Estevan Munoz de Aceves was the son of Jose Jacinto Munoz de Aceves and Maria Manuela Lopez de Lara y Zermeno de Laris (the daughter of Andres Lopez de Lara y Busto and Maria Vasquez de Zermeño y Laris). Jacinto was the son of another Jacinto Munoz de Aceves (II) and his wife Isabel de Soto y Torres de Hinojosa. I have not yet confirmed but believe that Jacinto (II), like the other contemporary Munoz de Aceves living in SF del Rincón was the son of another Jacinto Munoz de Aceves (I) and his wife Catalina Martin de Acevedo, originally from Celaya, Gto.

There are also some scattered references in Mariano González Leal's Retoños to members of this family in the chapters on Aceves and López de Lara, among others.

Chavez Campoverde
The parents of Maria Eusevia Chavez, the wife of Franciso Xavier Cobian, were Miguel de Chavez Campoverde (III) and Alexandra Isabel Sanchez de Sotomayor (daughter of Juan Manuel Sanchez and Jacinta de Soto y Hinojosa). Miguel (III) was the son of another Miguel de Chavez Campoverde (II) and his wife Juana Lopez de Lara y de la Rua (the daughter of Juan Lopez de Lara y Padilla-Davila and Petronila Moreno de la Rua, the daughter of Juan Moreno de la Rua, alferez mayor of Leon, and Maria de Busto y Puelles. Maria was the daughter of Pedro de Busto y Diez de Noriega, likewise an alferez of Leon, and Ana de Puelles y Linan de Villavicencio). Miguel (II) was the son of another Miguel de Chavez Campoverde (I) and of Juana Sanchez Gomez, residents of Leon, Gto. I have not yet been able to connect Miguel concreteley to the progenitors of the Chavez Campoverde identified by Mariano Gonzalez Leal as Andres Fernandez de Campoverde, alcalde ordinario, procurador, and escribano in Leon, Gto. and his wife Ana de Chavez y Acosta (the illegitimate daughter of Rodrigo de Acosta). Rodrigo de Chavez Campoverde, cura of Marfil was also a member of this family.

Sotomayor
Isabel de Soto y Torres de Hinojosa and Jacinta de Soto y Hinojosa were the daughters of Andres de Soto(mayor) y Castrejon (the possible namesake of La Cañada de los Soto) originally from Patzcuaro, Michoacan and Sebastiana Ruiz de Aldana y Hinojosa de Torres (daughter of Tomas Ruiz de Aldana and Isabel de Torres Hinojosa Baron), who was originally from Leon. Some baptismal records in San Francisco del Rincon in which Andres and his wife were godparents and which list the parent's names of the godparents have Andres as the son of Martin de Sotomayor y Rodriguez (son of Martin Rodriguez, from El Puerto de Santa Maria in Andalucia, and Juana de Soto y Borja, daughter of Pedro de Soto and Beatriz de Borja) and Maria de Castrejon y Pacheco (daughter of Antonio de Castrjon, regidor and teniente de alcalde mayor of Patzcuaro, and Leonor Pacheco). I also believe there is some kind of relationship between Isabel de Torres Hinojosa and the alcalde of Leon Juan de Torres Hinojosa (married to Tomasa Barragan) and the provincial of the santa hermandad, another Juan de Torres Hinojosa (married to Maria de Cisneros).

I have a little more information about these families (collateral lines to mine, other children, some dates and referencss, etc.) but this is in general what I have been able to piece together. Is anyone else descended or related to these families or know anything about them?
