Thank you very much for the detailed information on how the original rancho
de Joan de Angon (1633) became Estancia Rio Chico in 1681 and finally
changed to Hacienda Santa Rosa. I presently do not have any pictures of Rio
Chico/Hacienda Santa Rosa. I researched a location for a Rio Chico and
found it to be about 37 km (23 miles) from Teocaltiche. This location is
significant to me because it suggests that a child could be born in Rio
Chico and baptized in Teocaltiche. This is the pattern that my ancestors
followed. In 1752 Juana Maria Lozano Diaz was born in Rio Chico and
baptized in Teocaltiche. She was the daughter of Juan Miguel Lozano
(generation 9) and Lorensa Diaz de Sandi. Juan Miguel is also the father of
Rafael Lozano (gen. 8, b. abt. 1740), who married Petra Aguilar. Rafael had
a son also named Juan Miguel (gen. 7, b. abt. 1765), who married Maria
Tejeda about 1799. One of their sons is Domingo Lozano (gen. 6, b. 1816)
who married Paula Becerra in 1839. His oldest child was Eugenio Lozano
(gen. 5) who was born 17 Nov 1841 in Rio Chico. Eugenio left Teocaltiche
and went north to El Paso, Texas. He is my great-great grandfather.
I have to look up the church records for those ancestors between Eugenio and
Juana Maria Lozano Diaz, to see if there is continuity in their being born
in Rio Chico. If Eugenio was born there, your information suggests that it
may be another Rio Chico since it is not listed as Santa Rosa. Thank you
again for your valuable input, I will continue this research and keep
everyone posted.
hacienda San Jose de Ajojucar
Hello Bob,
I too descend from Juan Miguel Lozano and Lorenza Diaz de Sandi and have the following information for 3 of their daughters:
1. Luisa m. Ignacio Bernardo Gonzalez on May 6, 1752 in Teocaltiche. The marriage record states that Luisa is 'originaria de'
el Agostadero.

2. Ana Gertrudis m. Francisco Lorenzo Perez Gallo on May 10, 1756 in Teocaltiche. The marriage record states Ana to be 'originaria de' la hacienda de Senor San Jose, which is probably the hacienda San Jose de Ajojucar. Ana is also listed with the surname Trillo.

3. Juana Maria aka Juana Maria de los Dolores. baptized Sept 17, 1752 and born Sept. 9, 1752. Juana m. Manuel Victoriano Gonzalez de Hermosilo on October 30, 1775 in Teocaltiche. The marriage record states that Juana was 'originaria de' la hacienda de San Jose [de Ajojucar]. I am uncertain whether this is the daughter of Lorenza Diaz de Sandi, since the marriage record lists Juana's mother as Teresa. Since I can not find a any records for Juan Miguel Lozano and Teresa Diaz, I am assuming that the mother's name was written in error. Juana and Manuel Victoriano are my 5th great grandparents.
Best regards
Austin Perez
