Hello Everyone in the Forum,

I am looking for a transcription of a Will and Testament document that would
be an example of what was written in Spanish in the 1700's. Has anyone run
across such a document? I am in the process of transcribing and translating
a Will written in 1794.

Regards,

Bob Lozano

Hello Bob,

You can find partial transcriptions of testaments for the following residents of early colonial Aguascalientes.

Hope this is helpful.

Austin,

Thank you for posting these testaments. theyre very intersting. on this
thread of testaments you have Nicolas de Santos

I was seeing if you knew of a connection to this other Nicolas de Santos
that I just added to the wikitree today. the family both uses the same
names of de Santos and de Bustos. His wife name de Bustos also uses the
name de santos too. here is the link to the other Nicolas de Santos

Hi Danny,
Sorry but I don't know how this Nicolas connects with the descendants of Nicolas de los Santos and Maria Diaz. I did see that in Juana's burial record it states that she is originally from Guanajuato. Perhaps the family lived in Guanajuato which could explain why Nicolas's burial record and Nicolasa's baptism record are not listed in the Aguascalientes records. If Juana uses both Bustos and Santos as her last name then perhaps Nicolas and Juana are related?

Hi Raul and welcome to Nuestros Ranchos.

I'm not familiar with this family but I believe that Alonso de Bustos that was married to Ana de Jerez (not Perez) is the same Alonso whose son capitan Francisco de Bustos was the first Marquis de San Clemente. A book by Ricardo Ortega y Pérez Gallardo titled "Historia genealógica de las familias más antiguas de México: Volumen 1" provides the history on this family. This book is available for free on Google Play.

In addition to the baptism record of Catalina Bustos that you found, I have the following records that include Alonso and Ana:

16 julio 1616: Bautice a Isabel hija de Agustin de Izquierdo y de su mujer Ana Tavera. fueron sus padrinos Alonso de Bustos y su mujer dona Ana de Jerez

31 julio 1616: Bautice a Digeo hijo de Luis Lopez y de su mujer Isabel Sanchez. Fueron sus padrinos Alonso de Bustos y su mujer dona Ana de Jerez.

Sorry no. All I have are that the padrinos were Luis de los Reyes and his wife Juana de Vargas

Danny and Austin,

D. Alonso de Bustos and Da. Ana de Jérez (aka. Da. Ana Pérez--she appears at least once) were married on 20 July 1616 in Santa María de los Lagos, they are my 10th great grandparents. This noble family is always of interest, as they are considered "un apellido fuerte" meaning that some branches that descend would often take Bustos and add it to the new name--it basically carried weight, but was not as heavy as Mendoza, as an example.

I have the following children for this couple as follows:

1. D. Pedro de Bustos y Xérez ch. 8 Jan 1617-Santa María de los Lagos
2. Da. Catalina de Bustos y Xérez ch. 12 Jan 1619-Santa María de los Lagos (rama Villavicencio y Bustos)
3. Capt. D. Francisco de Bustos y Xérez ch. 12 Oct 1619-Santa Fe de Guanajuato (rama del Marqués de S. Clemente)
4. D. Rodrigo de Bustos y Xérez ch. 13 Jun 1630-Santa Fe de Guanajuato
5. D. Nicolás de Bustos y Xérez, Dueño de las Haciendas de Xalpa y Cañada Honda (rama menor Bustos y Moya)

Why do I mention

Daniel,

This is great information. I was just about to go back to this family because I directly descend from them on three different lines. My most recent Bustos/Santos relative is Juana de Bustos who is mentioned as being originaria de Guanajuato, seen here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6XGS-GF6

I also descend from doña Beatriz Ramos de Busto, that married Capitán don Antonio de Aguiar y Quiroga y Sánchez de Balboa. And I also descend from Cristóbal de Santos y Bustos that was married to Margarita Ruiz de Esparza so I'm very interested in this family. Thank you so much for posting this information.

Danny
