Hi Alex,

Where did you pull that from, and what is the date range? Looks like early 1600s. Viuda de Diego de Aguiar, had an hijo natural before she married named Francisco; I see a legitimate child named Micaela de Sotomayor. I'm going to say this is Guadalajara?

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

Not really, but it's interesting. I had this Maria de Sotomayor as Maria de Torquemada; she and Diego de Aguiar baptized Micaela 16 Oct 1615 in Guadalajara. The 1627 testamento mentions a daughter named Micaela, age 12, so I'm sure it's the same couple. I was researching women with the Torquemada surname, thinking they might somehow be related to Cristobal Ordones cc Francisca Ruiz Farache, since at least 1 of their daughter's used that surname.

I wonder if this Diego de Aguiar is related to Martin de Aguiar Delgadillo cc Mariana de Ulloa y Plasencia?

Thanks!
