Hi, Arturo,
I hope you get this post. This is the first time for me posting
directly to the new website.

I found a post by a Jaime A. Holcombe in Mexico City who says he is the son
of a Jaime Jose Holcombe who spent his life in serach of their ancestors in
Mexico and Europe. I sent him an e-mail, although the e-mail address is
from 1999. It is still an active address since it has not kicked back to
me.

I am very interested in the Escobedos and the Talamantes, since I am a
descendant of some Escobedos in Zacatecas, and my husband is a descendant of
some Talamanteses in Aguascalientes/Jalisco.

I think this Jaime is the repository of all his father's works because he
mentions going through his father's things and finding information such as that
they are descended from a Sir John Holcomb who was knighted by Richard
Lionheart. Wow!

Emilie:
Thank you so much for your efforts in trying to locate the repository of Jaime Holcombe's work. How far back are you with your Escobedo ancestry? I have a lot of information on this family that I have collected in hopes of connecting with my own ancestors.
Maria de Covarrubias was married to Francisco de Escobedo, son of Hernando de Escobedo and founder of San Andres del Astillero which came to be known as Monte Escobedo. They (Maria Covarrubias and Francisco de Escobedo) had a number of children that appear in their will: María de Covarrubias, Ana de Escobedo, Francisca de Covarrubias, Juan de Escobedo, Isabel de Rodas, Antonia de Covarrubias y Francisco de Escobedo.
Juan de Escobedo here is (I believe) the founder of Juanacatic (that came to be known as Villa Guerrero, Jalisco) and this Isabel de Rodas is (according to a confusing set of facts attributed to Jaime Holcombe) the same Isabel de Covarrubias that married a certain Captain Jacinto de Talamantes and whose offspring were the first Spanish settlers of what came to be known as Totatiche... Juan, Lucas and Pedro de Covarrubias Talamantes as well as an Isabel de Talamantes who is later found in Parral, Chihuahua.
The senior Maria de Covarrubias that married Francisco de Escobedo was the granddaughter of Francisco de Covarrubias, one of the first treasurers of the Caja de Zacatecas.
Did you know that the founders of Culver City, California were Talamantes from Aguascalientes?
