Question regarding the Mollinedo and Villasenor line.

Dear Daniel,

There is a small mistake where Antonia should be written as the daughter of Mathias Villaseñor, and not Antonio. Here is the way it should be written:

In my post, I meant to write "This provides more evidence that she is the daughter of Antonio Coria- Peralta Rincon and Antonia Villaseñor."
I mistakenly wrote "Juana Villaseñor."

-7mo Bisabuelos: Antonia Villaseñor and Antonio Coria Peralta Rincon
-8vo Bisabuelos: Matias Villaseñor Cervantes y Nuñez del Rincon and Antonia Rodriguez Antúñez de Borgia (Borja)
-9no Bisabuelos: Capitan Francisco de Villaseñor Cervantes y Patiño and Ines Nuñez Hidalgo del Rincon

First one:

Tronco: Bartholome Nunez Hidalgo cc Marta del Rincon

Ana Nunez del Rincon -- Leonor Nunez del Rincon
Antonio de Coria Peralta -- Juana de Villasenor
Teresa de Coria Peralta -- Maria de Mollinedo
*********************** -- Carlos de Munguia
Second one:

Tronco: Bartholome Nunez Hidalgo cc Marta del Rincon

Inez Nunez del Rincon -- Leonor Nunez del Rincon
Matias de Villasenor -- Juana de Villasenor
Antonia de Villasenor -- Maria de Mollinedo
Teresa de Coria Peralta -- Carlos de Munguia

The new information that Daniel Sena Valencia provides:

Tronco: Desconocido
Hijos: Antonia Maciel - Juan Nicolas Maciel
Nietos: Antonia Balbuena y Maciel - Maria Gertrudis Maciel
Bisnietos: Diego de Barragan - Ana de Munguia
Tataranietos: Mariana de Barragan(Difunta esposa de Salvador) - Maria Gertrudis de Villasenor

Tronco: Juana de Villasenor
Hijos: Diego Barragan - Maria de Mollinedo
Nietos: Diego Barragan - Carlos Munguia
Bisnietos: Mariana Barragan (Difunta esposa de Salvador) - Ana de Munguia
Tataranietos: ------------- - Maria Gertrudis de Villasenor

Gives us the information that we can merge with:

(4) Juan de Munguia cc ??? Villegas.

(5) Fernando (Hernando) de Munguia y Villegas cc ???

(6) Antonio Munguia cc Maria de Mollinedo de Santa Cruz y Villasenor

(7) Juan Carlos Munguia Mollinedo [Carlos I] (b. 1691) cc Maria Maciel (Maciel Torres?)

(8) Carlos Juan [Carlos II] Munguia Maciel cc Maria Antonia Theresa de Coria y Villasenor,

(9) Carlos Yldephonso De La Trinidad Munguia Coria [Carlos III]

So now we know that # ( 7) Juan Carlos [Carlos I] Munguia Mollinedo's wife has Gertrudis as a middle name, Maria Gertrudis Maciel (Maciel Torres?) and that her father's name is Juan Nicolas Maciel.

So now we have

4) Juan de Munguia cc ??? Villegas.

(5) Fernando (Hernando) de Munguia y Villegas cc ???

(6) Antonio Munguia cc Maria de Mollinedo de Santa Cruz y Villasenor

(7) Juan Carlos Munguia Mollinedo y Villaseñor [Carlos I ] (b. 1691) cc Maria Gertrudis Maciel (Maciel Torres?) {daughter of Juan Nicolas Maciel}.

(8) Carlos Juan [Carlos II] Munguia Maciel cc Maria Antonia Theresa de Coria y Villasenor,

(9) Carlos Yldephonso De La Trinidad Munguia Coria [Carlos III]

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The second piece of new information when added to :

(a) Diego de Villasenor Orozco cc Leonor Nunez Duran y del Rincon
(2b) Juana Villaseñor cc Diego Martin Barragan
(2c) Diego Martin Barragan y Villaseñor cc ? Balbuena
(2d) Gertrudis de Barragan y Balbuena cc Juan Francisco de Ochoa
(2e) Maria Manuela de Ochoa

Gives us the name of 2c) Diego Martin Barragan y Villaseñor's wife as Antonia Balbuena y Maciel, (daughter of Antonia Maciel, granddaughter of Juan Nicolas Maciel).

So now we have:

a) Diego de Villasenor Orozco cc Leonor Nunez Duran y del Rincon
(2b) Juana Villaseñor cc Diego Martin Barragan
(2c) Diego Martin Barragan y Villaseñor cc Antonia Balbuena y Maciel, (daughter of Antonia Maciel).
(2d) Gertrudis de Barragan y Balbuena cc Juan Francisco de Ochoa
(2e) Maria Manuela de Ochoa

Thank you Daniel,

Barragan Balbuena and Villaseñor connections.

Thomas Javier de Bejar y de la Cueva married his relative Maria Barragan y Balbuena, daughter of Jose Barragan y Villaseñor cc Maria Balbuena y Alcaraz. If we were able to find the marriage dispensation then we would be able to find more information on the Martin-Barragan and Balbuena y Alcaraz family lines.

Thomas Javier de Bejar y de la Cueva is the son of Manuel de Bejar y Alcocer cc Josefa de la Cueva y Diaz-Picazo.

Josefa de la Cueva y Diaz-Picazo is the daughter of Sebastian de la Cueva y Villaseñor cc Juana Maria Diaz-Picazo.

Sebastian de la Cueva y Villaseñor is the son of Juan De la Cueva y Lomelin cc Maria de Villaseñor y Nuñez-Hidalgo.

Maria de Villaseñor y Nuñez-Hidalgo is the daughter Francisco de Villaseñor y Patiño de Herrera cc Ines Nuñez-Hidalgo y Fernandez del Rincon.

More information may be found in a marriage dispensation of Thomas Javier and Maria Barragan's son Justo Bejar's marriaiage to Maria Felipa Villaseñor, daughter of Antonio Villaseñor and Ana Munguia. But the relationship may be too distant for there to be a dispensation. The marriage link is

Dear Daniel Serna Valencia,

Time to answer your last question.

"
* Lastly does anyone know if Antonio Munguia and Maria de Mollinedo y Villasenor are the parents of Juan Carlos Munguia cc Maria Teresa de Coria y Villasenor? (This is just a hunch given this baptism record Rick Ricci pointed out a few months back and the fact that Leonor de Munguia appears to be of the same generation as Juan Carlos Munguia and both were in Tamazula at the time):

Carlos Juan Munguia Mollinedo
Gender Male
Christening Date 18 Dec 1691
Christening Place SAN FRANCISCO,ANGAMACUTIRO DE LA UNION,MICHOACAN,MEXICO
Father's Name Antonio Munguia
Mother's Name Maria De Mollinedo Villasenor

The answer is that this Carlos Juan Muguia that is born in 1691 is the paternal grandfather of the Juan Carlos Munguia that is married to Maria Teresa Coria y Villaseñor. I will provide more information later.

We put up many questions on this family, found much information, but I haven't had a chance to process all the data yet and I am still unclear as to which questions have been answered, and which remain.

And I still have more questions to add.

Question 1 is answered:
1) Jose Manuel Cobian Villaseñor married Isabel Silva Zuñiga Montenegro on 20/July/1726. Jose Manuel Cobian Villaseñor was a widower when he married Micaela Rita Ochoa Osegura. Jose Manuel and Juan Manuel have been proven to not be the same person and are brothers.

2) my first cousins ancestor, Ana Josefa Petra Cobian Zuñiga, is the daughter of Joseph Manuel Cobian y Villaseñor and Isabel Silva Zuñiga Montenegro. Ana Josefa Petra Cobian Zuñiga married Vicente Barragan, son of Gaspar Martin Barragan and Theresa Torres y Maciel. How is Gaspar Martin Barragan related to Diego Martin Barragan that is the second husband of Juana Villaseñor.

Joseph Manuel Cobian y Villaseñor and Isabel Silva Zuñiga Montenegro are the parents of Eduardo Francisco Covian y Silva who married Maria Manuela de Barragan, daughter of Gaspar Martin Barragan and Theresa Thorres y Maciel.

Gaspar Martin Barragan and Theresa Thorres y Maciel have a son named Diego Raphael Martin Barragan who married Francisca Galindo Y Ochoa.

Gaspar Martin Barragan and Theresa Thorres y Maciel are the parents of Antonia Barragan who married Miguel Villaseñor, son of Felix Villasenor.

3) we have multiple Villaseñor relationships within all these families. It is important that we keep all the lines straight. I still need to find time to slowly review all the dispensas that have come forth in this thread but was wondering if someone has already done so, and if so, figured out the if the Tio Joseph Villaseñor was an uncle on only one side or both sides?

4) Does anyone have more information on Gaspar Martin Barragan and Theresa Torres y Maciel?

5) How is Juan de Dios Villaseñor, that is married to Maria Rita de Los Dolores Sanchez, related to these Villaseñor lines? Juan de Dios Villaseñor and Maria Rita are the parents of Maria del Carmen Villaseñor that was married to Jose Manuel DJ Herrera Gascon.

6) juan de Dios Villaseñor may be the same Juan de Dios Villaseñor that is a son of Eugenio Cayetano Villaseñor y Esparza and Francisca Romero y Alvarado. Eugenio Cayetano is the son of Juan Villaseñor and Maria Xaviera Esparza. Does anybody have any information on Juan Villaseñor and Maria Xaviera Esparza?

My cousin that descends from "Jose Manuel Cobian Villaseñor and Isabel Silva Zuñiga Montenegro" did write a book that was published by the university of Guadalajara but it does not have any of the information that we have covered here. His book was limited to the familytree in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Thank you,

Researching the Mollinedo de Santa Cruz in the 14th through 16th centuries is a little tricky because during this time in Basque Country surnames changed according to circumstances. Not everyone in the family used "Mollinedo" as their surname. The surname did not even start out as Mollinedo. I have the different surnames that this family used and am working on putting together the family tree. By the 16th century the surnames used more often were Traslaviña, Mollinedo, Santa Cruz, and the surnames combined Mollinedo de Santa Cruz. A family tree on geanenent has obvious errors as the Bishop clearly identifies different parents in his letters.

I explained the situation in an earlier post on my Ochoa Garibay Martinez ibanez de Uncella ancestors. Here is the post:

" [ Change in surnames according to location given
Submitted by R.A.Ricci on Mon, 2016-05-30 20:47.
Someone asked me to explain the change in surnames in the Ochoa-Garibay pedigree.

If someone here in West Los Angeles asked where I live I would say Mar Vista. If I was in Northern California I would answer Los Angeles. if I was in another state, let's say a state clear across the country on the eastern coast, I would answer California. If I was in another country, I would answer the United States of America. This is how the surname sometimes changed from one generation to the next for Spaniards in the 15th and 16th centuries. The surnames didn't always change permanently. This was a naming pattern in these basque provinces. Some families kept their same surname even if they moved around. Some other families changed their surname often. In some families everyone changed their surname if one person changed his surname, in other families, every sibling may have a different surname.

Juan Martinez de Uncella de Mondragon de Aramayona de Alava
Ivan (Juan) son of Martin residing in the church jurisdiction of Uncella in the Villa Mondragon, from the valley Aramayona, from the Alava province, Basque Country, Spain.

Iglesia de Uncella from the Valle Aramayona, provincia Alava,
Villa de Mondragon

Later! Ybarlucea and Garibay show up as part of the surname. We have Martin Ochoa Ybarlucea becoming Martin Ochoa Garibay. The change is Ybarlucea to Garibay, from the banks of the river where the fern grows in Elorrio (Ybarlucea) to the valley where Elorrio is located (Garibay)
The banks where the fern grows in Elorrio= Ybarlucea
Valle de Elorrio= Garibay
Provincia de Guipozcoa
Basque Country

I hope this helps,

There are a few threads to pull in seeking to extend the Munguia family line past Antonio Munguia married to Maria de Mollinedo y Villasenor.

First thread is Hernando de Munguía y de Isabel de Velasco

Second thread is Miguel de Munguia (abt 1640) married to Juana Bautista.

Third thread is Thomas Munguia married to Mariana Sanchez Aldana

Fourth thread Christobal Munguia married to Justina Micaela

Francisco de Villaseñor Cervantes married to Inés Núñez Hidalgo. Inés Núñez Hidalgo is the daughter of îBartolomé Núñez Hidalgo y Marta del Rincón.

Rick A. Ricci

Both Leonor de Munguia and Felix (Feliz, Felis) Gerardo Villasenor y Jasso (Xasso, Gasso, Yasso) descend from a Villaseñor line so many questions may be answered if we were to find a marriage dispensation on this couple. Remember that Leonor de Munguia's (Murguia) Paternal grandmother is Josepha Villaseñor. The uncle is a big clue. It would help If we can figure out if he is an uncle on only one side, or both sides.

Pedro Villasenor Orosco and wife Maria Jasso are the parents of Felix (Feliz, Felis) Gerardo Villasenor y Jasso (Xasso, Gasso, Yasso).

If my notes are correct, Pedro Sebastian Villaseñor Orozco De la Cueva is the son of Pedro de Villaseñor Orozco Figueroa and Maria Cueva Lomelin.

Pedro de Villaseñor Orozco Figueroa is the son of Miguel Villaseñor Gasca and Maria Figueroa Bañuelos.

Maria Jasso Ochoa is the daughter of Juan Jasso and Magdalena Ochoa. She is said to be of the same Jasso family of St. Francisco Xavier (Jasso) [St Francis Xavier is my Ruiz de Esparza ancestor's third cousin.

I posted how St.. Francisco Xavier is related to the Ruiz de Esparza in a post a few months ago. This information is in a book that I have almost finished.

Manny Diez Hermosillo has sent me much information on the Villaseñor family. One piece of the puzzle may break down one of these brickwalls. In this puzzle piece the name is Juana Villaseñor instead of Josepha Villaseñor.

If you descend from this line you will most likely want to get my book when it gets published as it extends this line many centuries to Italy where the family has many members that become Cardinals and Popes, and another line to the Middle East (house of David). It even shows where one family member left to go to England and became an important advisor to the english royal court. A Spanish line goes to the eighth century.
