If I am reading it right, in Nochistlan, on 25 Feb 1686, it says Domingo Mejia is the padrino and the madrina is Francisca de la Ascencion su prima. I believe this Domingo Mejia is most likely the one who is the son of Lorenzo Mejia and Ines de Estrada. If it is, then does anyone know who this Francisca de la Ascencion is?

That’s an interesting clue.
On some records, Francisca de Islas, daughter of Juan de Islas Sandoval cc Juana de Rivera, and wife of Juan Lopez de Lizardi, was called Francisca de la Asencion (baptisms of sons Juan de Dios and Cayetano).
Good eye! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, it matches now with the 14 year old Domingo Mejia. I just dismissed him as a possible padrino because of his age and assumed it was more likely the ~40 year old Domingo Mejia. Thanks
