ORIGINS OF PEDRO ALONSO DE LOS HINOJOS

According to the Limpieza de Sangre required when their son, Nicolas Alonso, took his religious orders, 4 May 1662, Pedro Alonso was son of Diego Alonso de los Hinojos and Leonor Sanchez de Ulloa, of San Luis Potosi, and Ana Dominguez was daughter of Miguel Diaz and Maria Medel, originally from Leon, Gto (and owners of Paraje de Las Bocas, in Sierra de Pinos).
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DVT7-V?i=554&wc=3JWL-YWG&c…

According to Rafael Morales Bocardo, in his “Diccionario...,” Diego Alonso de los Hinojos was a “dueño de recua”: he owned a mule train. He and Leonor Sanchez were also parents of:

- Diego Alonso de los Hinojos “El Mozo”
- Juan Alonso de los Hinojos, m. Beatriz Lopez del Castillo
- Leonor Sanchez
- Ysabel Sanchez
- Catalina Martin

On 6 May 1616, in SLP, Diego Alonso de los Hinojos agreed to act as guarantor for his son-in-law, Juan Muñiz, for a debt that he owed to Francisca de la Paz, viuda. Juan Muñiz and Ysabel Sanchez baptized Juan, 13 Jul 1616, Sagrario SLP.

When daughter Catalina Martin submitted her Testamento, on 4 Aug 1658, she declared that she was born in Zamora, Michoacan. Catalina Martin married twice: m1. Diego Lopez de Mesa, m2. Fernando Coçetillo.

Juan Alonso de los Hinojos and Beatriz Lopez baptized their first 2 children in Zamora: Madalena, 30 Apr 1610, and Juana, 7 Aug 1613 (agua) & 30 Dec 1613 (pusieron los oleos). The madrina on Dec 30 was Juana Lopez, the child's grandmother, so we know Beatriz Lopez was from Zamora, where she and Juan Alonso likely married.

That said, I have a feeling that this family group originated in Zamora, that Diego Alonso de la Hinojos and Leonor Sanchez probably had their children there, before establishing themselves in San Luis Potosi. So if any of you are researching this line, I'd recommend starting there. That's all I have.

Hola de nuevo,

In the footnotes, Rafael Morales Bocardo mentions that Diego Alonso de los Hinojos “El Mozo” was married to Maria del Hierro. I had missed that.

Diego Alonso “El Mozo” died and was buried 2 Feb 1657, and Maria del Hierro, on 25 Jun 1658, both in San Felipe, Gto, where they were residents. They were parents of Alonso de los Hinojos Hierro, b. 2 Dec 1613, in Zamora, Mich, and Diego Bernal de los Hinojos Hierro cc Catalina Martin.

On his death registry, Diego Alonso "El Mozo" is said to be a native of Valladolid (Morelia, Mich).

Saludos!

Hola prim@s,

Juan Martin de los Hinojos aka Juan Alonso de los Hinojos married Josefa Gutierrez, 14 May 1684, in Aguascalientes. He was son of Alonso Martin Mateos Saldaña and Maria Lopez del Castillo (m. 5 Mar 1628, San Luis Potosi), and she, viuda of Pedro Macias.

This one’s interesting: where does the “Alonso de los Hinojos” come from????

I have an idea: I think it’s likely that his father, Alonso Martin Mateos Saldaña, was a son of Diego Martin Mateos cc Maria de Saldaña, of SLP. Though it’s possible that the surname came from one of them, I think it’s more likely that the source is his mother, Maria Lopez del Castillo. I’d wager that she is a daughter of Juan Alonso de los Hinojos cc Beatriz Lopez del Castillo, and that she took her mother’s surname. Juan would’ve been named for his maternal grandfather. The timelines and locations fit. By the way, according to her burial record, Maria Lopez del Castillo did leave a testamento, but it doesn't appear to be available online.

Home prim@s,

Here's some info I've picked up on 2 of the daughters of Diego Alonso cc Leonor Sanchez, with the possible addition of another offspring:

LEONOR SANCHEZ

Leonor Sanchez was born in Zamora, Mich. She married Francisco Batalla, 12 Sep 1625, in San Luis Potosi. He was from Villa de Arruda, in Portugal, son of Francisco Batalla and Gracia Anarte. On their marriage record, the bride uses the name, Leonor de los Hinojos.

They had one child, Francisca Batalla, who married (1) Mateo Jimenez, and (2), Alonso Perez de Bocanegra, on 8 May 1662, in San Luis Potosi.

On 10 Apr 1653, already widowed, and sick and near dying, Leonor Sanchez gave power of attorney to Alonso Perez de Bocanegra, allowing him to dictate her testament.

On 09 Jul 1653, Leonor Sanchez registered her testament, naming Alonso Perez de Bocanegra as her executor, and her daughter, Francisca de Batalla, as her heir.

Hola prim@s,

I finally got around to compiling my notes on 3 confirmed sons of Diego Alonso and Ysabel Sanchez:

DIEGO ALONSO DE LOS HINOJOS "EL "MOZO" AND MARIA DEL HIERRO

Diego Alonso de los Hinojos “El Mozo” and Maria del Hierro were likely married in Zamora, where they baptized Alonso in Dec 1613. By 1615, they were already living in San Luis Potosi.

On 30 Jun 1622, Diego Alonso promised to pay Capitan Jorge Beneciano 625 pesos?
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-958X-7TRT?i=395&wc=MXB…

On 18 May 1623, Jorge Beneciano took Diego Alonso to court, demand payment on a debt owed. Looks like their belongings were or will be put up for public auction; Maria del Hierro, mention of her dowry of 1,500 pesos given at time she married.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G58X-W3KG?i=2&wc=MXBY-…

Diego Alonso and Maria del Hierro would eventually move to San Felipe, Gto, where he died 2 Feb 1657, and she, 25 Jun 1658.

The children

Hello, Manny.

You can remove that asterisk! Per Dr. Helguera's notes from a research trip to Aguascalientes: Ags 72/73v. PN 3/2. Poder para testar ante Sesena 26 April 1680. Maria Lopez del Castillo (hija de Juan Alonso de los Hinojos y Beatriz Lopez del Castillo vecinos de SLP) vda de Alonso Martin Mateos.

I wrote in my notes that she died 9 Oct 1680 AGS per will through son Nicolas via "poder." She was a widow.

Appreciate all your work. Thanks.

Regards,
Mary Lou
