Hi all,

I have been looking for more information on Antonio Cobian de Busto cc Isabel de Tapia in Mexico City on 17 Mar 1717. The record says they received a dispensation for the marriage bans before and after the marriage. They were also both recorded with the honorific Don y Dona.

Their marriage was also recorded in 1733 in Celaya, where they were vecinos, mentioning that their marriage had occurred earlier in Mexico City. Neither record lists their parents. They had at least two sons in Celaya before their marriage was recorded in 1733.

I think it is possible I have found another lead on Antonio, since there is a visitador of the presidios of New Mexico named Antonio Cobian Busto. He is mentioned in a variety of books and websites, but I have not seen anything about his origins.

Some examples:

https://books.google.com/books?id=Otz-kNm-c_EC&pg=PA269&lpg=PA269&dq=an…

However, it is possible the dates might exclude him from being the same Antonio Cobian Busto who had sons in Celaya in 1725 and 1727. Has anyone encountered Cobian de Busto or Tapia in Guanajuato or Mexico City? Any thoughts about the visitador and these families would be great!
