Hola primos y primas,
Estoy investigando mis antepasados Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada e
Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor, que vivian en Pinos, Zacatecas, 1680-1740.
Francisco Sanchez nacio alrededor del 1685, en la ciudad de San Luis
Potosi, hijo natural de Cristobal Sanchez y de Francisca Narvaez, solteros.
Los tengo con 4 hijos:
I am researching my ancestors Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada and Ysabel
Ruiz de Villasenor, who lived in Pinos, Zacatecas, 1680-1740. Francisco
Sanchez was born around 1685 in la Ciudad de San Luis Potosi, hijo natural
of Cristobal Sanchez and Francisca Narbais. I have them having four
children:
1. Josepha Mejorada Ruiz, b. 18 Apr 1698 en Pinos (Salitrillo), m. Diego
Delgado Gallegos, 16 Feb 1722, Pinos, Zacatecas.
2. Joaquin Sanchez de la Mejorada, b. 2 Apr 1699, Pinos (Salitrillo), m.
Juana Anastacia de la Puente, 10 Feb 1725, Venado, SLP.
3. Francisca Sanchez Ruiz, se caso con Juan Delgado Gallegos, 16 Oct
1719, Pinos, Zacatecas. Diego y Juan Delgado eran hijos de Juan Husebio
Delgado y de Pascuala Gallegos Cabrera.
4. Jose Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada, b. 26 Nov 1703 en Pinos
(Salitre), m. Marina Gomez Tiscareno, 6 Oct 1721, Pinos, Zacatecas. Marina
era hija de Nicolas Gomez y de Lorenza Tiscareno Huerta.
No tengo nada sobre Ysabel Ruiz, solo que se murio antes del 6 Feb 1715,
cuando Francisco Sanchez se caso por segunda con Margarita de Cuevas. He
encontrado a una Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor, casada con Mathias Gomez,
tambien vivian en Pinos y durante la misma epoca, de hecho, Francisco
Sanchez es testigo para el matrimonio de un hijo de Mathias Gomez. Los
hijos de Mathias Gomez e Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor son:
I have nothing on Ysabel Ruiz, other than she dies some time before 6 Feb
1715, when Francisco Sanchez married for a second time to Margarita de
Cuevas. I have found an Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor married to Mathias Gomez,
also in Pinos and around the same time frame. Francisco Sanchez was testigo
for the marriage for one of their children, so they knew each other. The
children of Mathias Gomez and Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor are:
1. Pedro Gomez, nacio alrededor del 1686 en Zacatecas, m. Maria
Xertrudes Sanches Narbais, 17 Jun 1706 en Pinos, Zacatecas. En su partida
nupcial, no sale el apellido de ella, dice que es de padres no conocidos;
pero en el baustimo de un hijo suyo sale con el apellido "Sanchez" y en
otro "Narbais"; puede ser hija natural de Cristobal Sanchez y de Francisca
Narbais? Hermana de Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada?
2. Maria Gomez, nacio alrededor del 1689, m. Nicolas Castaneda, 5 Oct
1712 en Pinos, Zacatecas. Nicolas Castaneda era hijo de Antonio Castaneda
Vargas y de Thomasa de Carrion. Fueron testigos los Capitanes Antonio de
Gusman Prado y Esteban Munos de Pineda.
3. Juan Baptista Gomez, a. 1688; m. Catalina Bernarda Aguilar, 6 Feb
1715, Pinos. Catalina Bernarda era hija de Antonio Aguilar y de Maria Diaz
de Guerta. Fueron testigos los Capitanes Francisco Sanchez Cabello y
Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada.
4. Joseph Gomez de Sotomayor, a 1687, m. Josepha de Aguilar, 6 Feb 1723,
Pinos, Zacatecas. PREGUNTA: hay una Josepha Francisca Aguilar y un Joseph
Ruelas de Sotomayor, que son padres del novio Jose Antonio Ruelas de
Sotomayor, que se caso con Maria del Carmen Gomez, 11 Sep 1756 en Pinos:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5FZ-DLN Sera la misma pareja?
Gomez de Sotomayor=Ruelas de Sotomayor? Y si es caso, donde esta la
conexion? QUESTION: there's a Josepha Francisca Aguilar and Joseph Ruelas
de Sotomayor, who are the parents of Jose Antonio Ruelas de Sotomayor, who
married Maria del Carmen Gomez on 11 Sep 1756 in Pinos: are they the same
persons? Gomez de Sotomayor=Ruelas de Sotomayor? And if that's the case,
where is the connection? Juana Gomez Ruiz, b. 10 Jul 1690, Pinos, Zacatecas.
Mathias Gomez se murio antes del 1697; puede ser que Ysabel Ruiz se caso
con Capitan Francisco de la Mejorada en 2a nupciales, pero no he encontrado
la informacion y no se si fue viuda. La tendra alguien? O tiene informacion
sobre estas personas? Es la misma Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor?
Mathias Gomez died before 1697; Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor could have
married Capitan Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada in a second marriage, the
timelines fit, but I haven't found the information and I don't know if she
was a widow. Would any of you have any info on this? Is she the same Ysabel
Ruiz de Villasenor?
Tengo otras preguntas, a ver si alguien sabe algo:
I have some more questions, hopefully someone knows something:
El hijo de Mathias Gomez, Jose Gomez, lleva el apellido compuesto, "Gomez
de Sotomayor"; la esposa de Jose Francisco Sanchez era Marina Gomez
Tiscareno, hija de Nicolas Gomez y de Lorenza Tiscareno, tambien en algunos
documentos de sus hijos o nietos, la he visto citada como "Marina Gomez de
Sotomayor." Habra algun conexion entre ellos? Entre Mathias Gomez y
Nicolas Gomez? Y entre Gomez de Sotomayor y Ruelas de Sotomayor?
The son of Mathias Gomez, Jose Gomez, uses the compound surname "Gomez de
Sotomayor"; the wife of Jose Francisco Sanchez was Marina Gomez Tiscareno,
daughter of Nicolas Gomez and Lorenza Tiscareno Huerta, in a couple of her
children or grandchildren's documents, I've seen her listed as "Marina
Gomez de Sotomayor." Is there a connection between them? Between Mathias
Gomez y Nicolas Gomez? And between Gomez de Sotomayor y Ruelas de Sotomayor?
Y, quien era Capitan Esteban Munos de la Pineda? Fue padrino y testigo para
varios parientes mios durante aquellos anyos en Pinos. Tengo otro
antepasado que vivia durante el mismo tiempo, Jose Munos, nacido como 1682
y casado con Ysabel de Hungria Alvarez. Tenian varios hijos, entre ellos
dos que se casaron con dos hijas de Nicolas Gomez y Lorenza Tiscareno. De
ella, tengo para padres Bartholome Alvarez y Maria Egipsiaca de Santiago
Cuenca, de el, nada. Puede ser parientes, mi g7 Jose Munos y el Capitan
Esteban Munos de Pineda?
And, who was Capitan Esteban Munos de Pineda? He was padrino and testigo
for many of my family members. I have another ancestor who lived around the
same time, Jose Munos, born around 1682 and married to Ysabel de Hungria
Alvarez. They had several children, among them two sons who married two
daughters of Nicolas Gomez and Lorenza Tiscareno. I have her parents as
Bartholome Alvarez and Maria Egipsiaca de Santiago Cuenca, for him, I have
nothing. Can they be related, my g7 Jose Munos and Esteban Munos de Pineda?
Gracias, y les invito a mirar por mi cuenta jrefugioghermosillo, donde
tengo la lista de mis familias.
Thank you, and please take a look in my folder jrefugioghermosillo, where I
have the list of my families posted.

Manny,
If you could please send me your line to the Sánchez de la Mejorada? I am also related to this line. I have a Sánchez de la Mejorada line as well in Tamazula de Gordiano, Jalisco who married into my family, Méndez de Torres at the end of the XVIII century. D. José Francisco Méndez de Torres y Méndez de Torres married Da. María Guadalupe Sánchez de la Mejorada y Aguilar on 27 Jul 1795 in Ciudad Guzmán, he than married the woman whom I descend, Da. Desideria Fernández de la Cueva y González Bermejo on 2 Mar 1807 in San Francisco de Tamazula. I wonder if there is a link. I know there are many in México City, perhaps these two lines will link.
Let´s compare what we have!

Hola Daniel,
Thank you very much for replying to my post.
Regarding my Sanchez line, all of the activity I have takes place in Pinos, Zacatecas. As I mentioned, I dead-end in Ciudad de San Luis with the birth of my g6 Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada, born hijo natural de Cristobal Sanchez and Francisca Narvaez, probably around 1678. They had another hijo natural, Jose Antonio Sanchez, who also married in Pinos:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5F8-7D6
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5F8-ZCZ
I haven't been able to trace Cristobal Sanchez, since he and Francisca Narvaez were not married, but I do have Francisca living in Pinos, Zacatecas, as late as 1729, when she was madrina for one of their grandchildren. She had another hijo natural, Luis Sanchez, who also married and had children in Pinos, though his marriage document says he's of padre no conocido. He still uses the Sanchez name, and his children will use the Sanchez de la Mejorada compound surname.

Hola Daniel,
I've been posting on another thread associated with my Sanchez de la Mejorada line, I just posted dispensations and informaciones for several couples descending from my Sanchez, perhaps you can find something helpful: http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/21351#comment-26317

Hola Daniel,
I came upon this 1712 dispensation for Nicolas Castaneda and Maria Gomez, which you had posted in another thread:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18426-82663-43?cc=1874591&wc…
http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/21449
This document is linked to my Sanchez de la Mejorada line, as the mother of Maria Gomez is Ysabel Ruiz, my g6. This dispensation is a great find for me, as it confirms my theory that Ysabel Ruiz de Villasenor married Capitan Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada after the death of her first husband, Mathias Gomez: Francisco Sanchez is a testigo, and in his declaration, he says he is the step-father of the pretensa, Maria Gomez. GOL!!
I've located the marriage record for Mathias Gomez & Ysabel de Avalos, https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JZXJ-PP2
which gives his parents as Juan Gomez Nieto and Theresa Martin(ez) Guerrero, and the parents of Ysabel de Avalos as Agustin de Avalos and Magdalena Ruiz. I found the baptismal record

Here is the extent of my Sanchez line:
At the top of my tree I have Cristobal Sanchez and Francisca Narbais/Narvaez, both born around 1650-1660. They weren't married but they had at least 3 hijos naturales, and one probable hija natural, while living in San Luis Potosi, between 1678 and late 1690s. By the late 1690s-early1700s, their children were marrying and having children in Pinos, Zacatecas.
I have the following children for Cristobal Sanchez and Francisca Narbais:
I. Capitan Francisco Sanchez de la Mejorada, born about 1678 in SLP. He married twice, to:
m1. Ysabel Ruiz de Villaseñor around 1697, probably in Pinos, Zacatecas. I believe her to be the widow of Mathias Gomez, but I haven't the documentation. Their children were:
1. Josepha Mejorada Ruiz, b. 18 April 1698 in Pinos, ZAC. She married Diego Delgado Gallegos, 16 Feb 1722, in Pinos, Zacatecas.
2. Joaquin Sanchez de la Mejorada, b. 12 Apr 1699 in Pinos, ZAC, m. Juana Anastacia de la Puente, 10 Feb 1725, in Venado
