Hello Nuestros Ranchos Forum,
I'm wondering if anyone has any information on Beatriz Sanchez de Carranza who also used the names Beatriz Sanchez de Lara, Beatriz Gomez, Beatriz Sanchez de Mendoza, Maria Sanchez, and Maria Gomez, she's mentioned in the below passage by Rodolfo H Hernández Chavez. She would've been born around 1615, probaly in Jalostotitlan. Based on the names, does anyone have any guesses about who her parents were?
passage from publication of Rodolfo H Hernández Chavez:
Francisco de Avalos, esposo de María de Espitia, quien según investigaciones de Don Jaime Holcombe procreó en Beatriz Sánchez de Lara –también conocida como Beatriz Sánchez de Carranza, Beatriz Sánchez de Mendoza ó Beatriz Gómez propietaria de una casa en la Villa de los Lagos, descrita en el padrón de 669 como “Casa de María Gómez Viuda”, donde vivía Antonia de Avalos doncella, en compañía de Bernarda Ortiz doncella, y de la “Estancia de San Nicolás de la Ciénega” en la jurisdicción de San Juan/Jalostotitlán, registrada en los padrones de 1670 como “Rancho de Beatriz Gómez”, y en los de 1672, 1673 y 1679 como “Estancia de Beatriz Gómez”, donde vivía en compañía de sus hijos y nietos-, a: Ysabel de Avalos/Ysabel Sanchez Carranza, mujer de José Leonel de Cervantes y Orozco, indiscutiblemente su consanguíneo por ser hijo de Leonel de Cervantes y de Doña Leonor de Orozco; Agustina de Avalos, madre de Juana Gómez...
Beatriz Gómez (María Sánchez) no es la misma Beatriz Schz Carran
Hola compañeros , yo casi estoy seguro que Beatriz Gómez es descendiente de Juan Sánchez de Lara y Los Sánchez de Mendoza y no debe de tener parentesco con los Sánchez Carranza , hay una prueba muy facil que el la boda de Luis Sánchez Venegas descendiente de Sánchez Carranza y de Manuela Ortiz de Rodas( Escoto Tovar ) decendienta de Beatriz Gómez(María Sánchez ) no hay dispensa matrimonial
E revizado esta familia tenia mucha relacion con personas de San Francisco del Rincon Guanajuato , y con Guanajuato , ya que varios de sus hijos casaron con personas de alla , uno de ellos es Bernardino de Ávalos y Sánchez nació en 1645, en Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, México, su , María Beatriz Sánchez de Lara, tenía 37 años. Se casó con Josefha Bocanegra Sánchez en 1664, en Santa Fe de Guadalupe, Guanajuato

I descend from two of the three Villaseñor Orosco Tovar brothers , (Capitán Juan Villaseñor Orosco, Conquistador Francisco Orosco Tovar, and Diego Orosco Tovar), that that came to Nueva España.
Prior to this thread, I didn’t have any clues as to Petronila Orozco’s ancestry. Thanks to Richard Ibarra for presenting evidence of her siblings and providing more clues as to her ancestry. With the addition of Cervantes to the surname, we can assume that she descends from Capitán Juan De Villaseñor Orosco and Catalina Cervantes Andrada De Lara
I don’t have the names fo Francisco’s children. I would appreciate it very much if someone would direct me to a source naming his descendants. I do know that Juan’s will names Francisco’s descendants, but I don’t have a copy of it. In my notes I do have a question regarding Pedro Villaseñor. I have in my notes that one secondary source named him as another brother of Capitán Juan De Villaseñor Orosco Tovar, while another secondary source had him as a

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Forum,
I was trying to look for information on Sanchez Carranza's since we know Beatriz Gomez/Sanchez descends in some way through the Sanchez Carranza's and I found this passage in Retono's on the internet. I'm not sure what it really is saying but I thought Id post it because I had never heard of this Andres Sanchez Carranza although i see there's a corresponding dispensa too:
Varias dispensas matrimoniales identifican a don Juan como el padre espurio de María González de Rubalcava; habida con Leonor Franco; y dicha hija a su vez procreó dos semillas ilegítimas con Andrés Sánchez-Carranza, prole de Diego Sánchez-Carranza y de Ana Muñoz. Ana Muñoz fue hija de ganancia de Juan González de Hermosillo el tercero, el esposo de Anna González Florida la menor, de manera que aquí tenemos una sucesión bastarda de dos ramas vinculadas. Los dos renuevos de Andrés Andrés Sánchez-Carranza y María González de Rubalcava casaron y dejaron su semilla en Tepatitlán

I sent an email about Diego Sánchez-Carranza and Ana Muñoz yesterday and it's never shown up here. I was gonna repost it but now I'm wondering if there's something wrong with Nuestros Ranchos.

Not sure about the Gomez or Carranza, but Sanchez de Lara and Sanchez de Mendoza sounds like it would be the child or grandchild of Juan Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza.

I agree with Chris that it sounds like it could be the child or grandchild of Juan Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza, but Gabriel Sanchez y Mendoza and Isabel Sanchez De Lara are also possible parents or grandparents.

Thank you for posting this, Danny, it really put 2 & 2 together for me. What I mean, is, from various dispensas, I knew there were several families named Avalos Villaseñor who descended from a Maria Sanchez, I just haven’t seen the surnames Sanchez de Lara nor Sanchez Carranza associated with them. Nor did I know she was also known as Beatriz Gomez aka Sanchez de Mendoza. And now, as I go back and look at the padrones for San Juan de Lagos, I see her and her offspring there. Very cool! I was able to fill in some holes.
I still don’t know who her husband was, but I have in my notes that Ysabel de Avalos, who was married to Juan de Cervantes Carvajal, was daughter of Francisco de Avalos cc Maria Beatriz Sanchez y Gomez (!!!). Unfortunately, I don't have that sourced, and it's still just a lead.
Here's something: Maria Sanchez had a brother named Matheo Sanchez, who had a son named Pedro Sanchez, who had a son named Pedro Sanchez de Mendoza cc Juana Lopez, who were parents of Juan

Manny,
The names Sanchez Carranza and Gomez confuse me. chris and Mr. Ricci make sense that Juan Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza are the correct parents. But, we know who their parents are and none of them use Gomez or Carranza. Here's two dispensas i found that seem to be referring to Maria Sanchez, but I'm not sure how helpful they are.
Tepatitlán de Morelos. Jal. Mayo 15 de 1687. Exp 92 - Dispensa de cuarto grado de consanguinidad - Melchor Sánchez, español de 22 años de edad, vecino de la jurisdicción de Tepatitlán. hijo legítimo de Joseph Sánchez y de Doña Maria de Orozco, ya difunta y vecinos que fueron de la jurisdicción de Jalostotitlán; con Isabel de Hermosillo, española de 28 años de edad, hija legítima de Sebastián Gutiérrez y de María Galindo, vecinos de dicha jurisdicción.

Could this Mateo Sánchez and María Sanchez be children of Marta Sánchez de Mendoza?

Daniel,
This dispensa that Manny mentioned proves that Mateo Sanchez and Maria Sanchez are brother and sister and I do believe they are the children of Juan Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza, but if that Maria Sanchez is the same as the other Maria Sanchez and it seems like they probably are, it doesn't explain where the Gomez and Carranza comes from. If Maria Sanchez/Beatriz Gomez is the daughter of Marta Sanchez de Mendoza and Juan Sanchez de Lara, and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza is the daughter of Toribio Hernandez de Arellano and Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza and Juan Sanchez de Lara is the son of Juan Sanchez and Elvira Gil de Lara, where does does the Carranza and Gomez come from?

Danny, I’ve seen that piece by Rodolfo H Hernandez Chavez before, it was posted in the long Avalos thread. It suggests possible connections between these people, but - as you point out - it appears to be written in the spirit of conjecture and what-if’s. There seems to be some conflicts with time lines, in my opinion.
What I can verify, is that Marta Sanchez did have a granddaughter named Beatriz Gomez, as confirmed by the 31 Jul 1628 baptism record for Madalena hija de la Yglesia (bottom left).
If you look on the previous page, left image, you’ll see 3 baptisms, dated 21 Jul 1628, on which the padrinos are Juan de Malaber and his granddaughter, Beatriz Gomez (including the baptism for Antonio, hijo de Alonso Quesada cc Isabel de Alarcon).
I have never seen the surname “Malaber.” Could this be Juan Sanchez de Lara? Or is this a different Beatriz Gomez?
I have only 2 children for Juan Sanchez de Lara cc Marta Sanchez: Maria Sanchez, who was mother of Joseph Sanchez cc Maria de

Manny,
this is good information. That would explain the Gomez and Carranza names since we must be missing a generation. So there must be another child of Marta Sanchez de Mendoza and Juan Sanchez de Lara. Also how old do you have to be a Madrina, I have Beatriz Gomez born about 1615, but if she's peoples Madrina in 1628, she's probably born before 1615. I'm guessing that Juan Sanchez de Lara and Juan de Malaber are the same person otherwise it wouldn't explain why she uses the Sanchez de Lara name, but I typed the name into google and this person's tree comes up and he has Juan de Malaber as a separate spouse.

Hi all,
I have also been looking into this line recently and trying to put together all the pieces. I think this is a similar case to the Plasencia & Benavides lines that got confused because conjecture (or at least accessibly documented ideas) got mixed in to the basic framework provided by dispensas.
CHILDREN of MARIA BEATRIZ GOMEZ SANCHEZ
What I have seen so far is that Maria Beatriz Gomez Sanchez had at least 4 children:
1) Agustina de Avalos (who had children named Gomez – discussed in the Nicholas Martin Juana Avalos thread on NR);
2) Isabel Sanchez Carranza married to Jose de Cervantes Leonel (more on her below)
3) Bernardino de Avalos married to Juana Perez de Bocanegra
4) Luisa de Avalos married to Jose de Soto
I think that the dispensas identifying her children have been relatively clearly discussed on other threads on Nuestros Ranchos, so I won’t clutter the post with discussion of that. However, I will add that I believe there is not sufficient evidence to link the

Also, I just went back through the images of the baptisms that Manny provided. I think we can confirm that Juan de Malaber and Juan Sanchez de Lara are two different husbands of Martha Sanchez de Mendoza.
The first clue is that Beatriz Gomez is listed as the "entenada" or step-child of Juan de Malaber. The priest later adds "digo su nieta", but I think he was struggling to find a term to describe their exact relationship (since I don't think entenada generally refers to a step-grandchild).
The second, is less documented (I did not note the source for this). I have listed that Juan Sanchez de Lara died before 1610, which would exclude him from being Juan de Malaber in 1628.
Does anyone have any further documentation that can prove this more definitively?

Richard,
You mentioned Agustina de Ávalos’s children who use Gómez, do you think Gómez is from Agustina de Ávalos’s husband whoever that is, or do you think they’re still using the Gómez from Beatriz Gómez? Also, it’s possible that Rodolfo H Hernández Chávez was right that Francisco de Ávalos was the husband of Beatriz Sánchez Carranza but that they were wrong about which Francisco de Ávalos. Earlier on this thread Mr. Ricci mentioned a Francisco Gómez Cervantes de Ávalos as the son of Leonel Cervantes Carbajal and Ysabel de Ávalos, do you think he could possibly be the right Francisco de Ávalos? Also if our Beatriz Sánchez Carranza is the daughter of a different Diego Sánchez Carranza, do you have any guess as to who her mother is?

Hi Danny,
I don't have the name of Agustina de Avalos's husband and I haven't seen a document that names him. It was proposed that if Francisco de Avalos cc Maria de Espitia Retemosa was the father of Beatriz Gomez's children then it was possible the Agustina de Avalos Espitia married to Pablo Ramirez (whose familiy appears to have also used Gomez) may be the same as the Agustina de Avalos mentioned in the dispensa you posted listing her as the sister to Bernardino de Avalos.
However, because the Agustina de Avalos married to Pablo Ramirez was born in 1655 and her mother is listed as Maria de Espitia I believe that these are two different Agustinas. This is also why I no longer see the reason to connect Francisco de Avalos with Beatriz Gomez / Maria Sanchez. If there is something I am missing, though, please let me know!
It is still possible she married a Gomez, but it is also possible that her children used Gomez through her and her mother Beatriz. I can't say for sure. I also can

I think your theory makes sense. Beatriz Gomez was most likely married to an Avalos, possibly Francisco or possibly some other Avalos. She most likely is the daughter of a male Sanchez Carranza and a female Sanchez de Mendoza, who was in turn is the daughter of Juan Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza.
Now, I'm wondering what the relationships are of the other people in her house are and how they fit in to the picture. On that passage from Rodolfo H. Hernandez Chavez, it says: Beatriz Gómez propietaria de una casa en la Villa de los Lagos, descrita en el padrón de 1669 como Casa de María Gómez Viuda”, donde vivía Antonia de Avalos doncella, en compañía de Bernarda Ortiz doncella, y de la “Estancia de San Nicolás de la Ciénega” en la jurisdicción de San Juan/Jalostotitlán, registrada en los padrones de 1670 como “Rancho de Beatriz Gómez”, y en los de 1672, 1673 y 1679 como “Estancia de Beatriz Gómez”, donde vivía en compañía de sus hijos y nietos-, a: Ysabel de

Great work, all of you!
From this and the Nicolas Martin thread, I think we can all agree that Maria Beatriz Sanchez Gomez and Maria de Espitia y Retamosa are not the same person, and that if they were both married to a Francisco de Avalos, he could not be the same person, either. This second Francisco de Avalos might be a son of Baltasar de Avalos Tovar cc Juana Ruiz de Aldana, as some of their children were padrinos for his. I’m still working on that, I’ll post when I find something.
Maria de Espitia y Retamosa, on the other hand, I think I know who she is: with her “Retamosa,” and her daughter’s use of “Macias” in the 1669 Lagos padron, she’s definitely a Macias Retamosa. She was also called “Maria de Torres,” on her son Francisco’s marriage record. My first thought was that she descends from one of the Macias-Ramirez de Tavera y Torres marriages, but that wouldn’t explain “Espitia”; there’d have to be 1 more generation before her, and that would be a tight squeeze, with our Maria

This is great information. It's looking more like Beatriz Gomez/Sanchez's wife might be a son of Baltasar de Avalos Tovar and Juana Ruiz de Aldana.
I saw this dispensa below for a Sanchez Carranza, a daughter of Diego Sanchez Carranza and Ana Muñoz de Hermosillo and am posting it in case it helps others put some pieces together:

Hi all,
I was looking at these families and wonder what people think ablout the Beatriz Carranza that’s married to Alonso Muñoz. Also, is it possible that there’s actually more than one Beatriz Sánchez / María Gómez that we are conflating? I’m not sure all these timelines work.

This is a very interesting discussion. I’ve only had time to briefly review the information and also wonder if there may be more than one Beatriz Gomez aka Maria Sanchez. These are fairly common names. I’m not sure what the connection is of Beatriz Carranza that’s married to Alonso Munoz to our Beatriz Sanchez Carranza, but if nothing else they’re certainly related. I notice a child of Beatriz Carranza and Alonso Munoz uses Hermosillo, does anyone know if that’s from the Munoz de Hermosillo or through Beatriz Carranza?

I'm definitely starting to think there also might be more than one Maria Sanchez/Beatriz Gomez. I was trying to look for information online searching for various versions of the names Beatriz Sanchez Carranza, Maria Sanchez de Lara, etc... and I found different passages, all from Retoños de España en la Nueva Galicia. They're all from snippet view, so they're incomplete, but trying to piece them together, I'm not sure that they're all the same people, at least according to Mariano Gonzalez Leal:
first passage:
*Además de los doce hijos legítimos anteriores, Juan II González de Hermosillo tuvo dos más, fuera de matrimonio: n) Ana Muñoz, o González, mestiza. La tuvo en la india Magdalena María, cacica de Jalostotitlán" y casó con el rico mestizo Diego Sánchez-Carranza, fallecido en San Juan de Juanacatlán y sepultado en Jalostotitlán el 22 de octubre de 1669. Fueron vecinos de Jalostotitlán.*
The above passage seems to come before this next passage:
*Don Juan III González de Hermosillo

Hi Danny,
Although Retonos can be an incredibly helpful resource, it is not perfect and in some places is more of a speculative piecing together. Its sheer size, however, excuses it from not being comprehensive.
Gonzalez Leal in Retonos has a Beatriz Carranza cc Alonso Munoz as the daughter of Diego Sanchez Carranza and Ana Munoz Hermosillo. He also says the Isabel Sanchez cc Jose Cervantes Leonel was her illegitimate daughter (not with Alonso Munoz), however he doesn't cite a source and I have not seen anything to confirm this. There are also other reasons to question this, which I listed earlier in the thread.
While it is definitely probable that there are multiple women living around the same time using the names Beatriz Sanchez / Gomez and Maria Sanchez, I think we should be careful about lumping them all together and attributing these references to the same person.
The Juan III Gonzalez de Hermosillo was married to Leonor Carvajal and was the son of Juan II Gonzalez de

Thanks Richard, this is very helpful. I guess I originally thought maybe he had sources or information that we didn't have. But I see that his book is more of a helpful guide than a definite for sure fact. Recently, I've noticed more than a few errors in Retonos, so I understand this now.

Paige,
Beatriz Sanchez Carranza who was married to Alonso Munoz de Leon did have children who used the Hermosillo last name. This is because Beatriz's mother Ana Munoz de Hermosillo (m. Diego Sanchez Carranza) was the daughter of Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo and an indian, Maria Magdalena. This is the same Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo who was married to Ana Gonzalez Florida and son of another Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo and Ana Munoz.
This same Beatriz died in 1710 in Guadalajara (bottom right)

Hi Alex,
I descend from one of the Avalos, a child of Beatriz Sanchez de Lara / Sanchez Carranza. Since the only thing that's really known is that Beatriz Sanchez de Lara is the granddaughter of Marta Sanchez de Mendoza, I'm guessing that my Avalos is the daughter of an unknown Avalos and Beatriz Sanchez de Lara, who in turn is the daughter of an unknown Sanchez Carranza and an unknown Sanchez de Mendoza, who in turn is the daughter of Juan de Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza. I'm just wondering if that's what other people are thinking.

This is how I see it too. I descend from Agustina de Avalos, who i presently have listed as the daughter of Maria Beatriz Sanchez de Lara/Sanchez Carranza and Francisco de Avalos, although Francisco de Avalos may be incorrect, it's certainly an Avalos and probably a brother of Baltazar de Avalos Tovar. I also agree that Maria Beatriz Sanchez de Lara is probably the daughter of a Sanchez Carranza and Sanchez de Mendoza, one of whom is either the daughter or son of Juan Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza, but i do agree it's probably a daughter of Juan Sanchez de Lara and Marta Sanchez de Mendoza, although so far it's still just a guess, but I do think it's what most makes sense.

Hey all,
I was revisiting this information and trying to absorb it all. I have some questions and am hoping people may have solved some of these mysteries since this was first posted. First question I have is several times it's mentioned in this thread that people now believe Agustina de Avalos that's the mother of Juana Gomez is not the same as the Agustina de Avalos that's daughter of Francisco de Avalos because Maria de Espitia is most likely not the same person as Beatriz Sanchez or am I wrong? But my question is do we know that for sure? Our Beatriz Sanchez has been identified as and uses the names Beatriz Sanchez, Beatriz Sanchez de Carranza, Beatriz Sanchez de Mendoza, Beatriz Sanchez de Lara, Beatriz Gomez, Maria Gomez, Maria Sanchez, Maria Sanchez de Lara, so why is it wrong to think she may have used the name Maria de Espitia or am I missing something?
Also in this thread it's said that the Agustina de Avalos that's married to Pablo Ramirez is not the mother of Juana

Hi Paige,
I didn't realize it's been over two years since we discussed Maria Sanchez/Beatriz Sanchez/Beatriz Gomez and sadly, I haven't gotten any further. Hopefully someone has. But regarding your questions, let me say first that Maria Sanchez/Beatriz Sanchez/Beatriz Gomez is not the same as Maria de Espitia, although they are contemporaries and were both married to men named Avalos and possibly both married to two different men named Francisco de Avalos. Also, both Maria de Espitia and Maria Sanchez/Beatriz Sanchez/Beatriz Gomez had daughters named Agustina de Avalos. But, since Maria Sanchez/Beatriz Sanchez/Beatriz Gomez is listed as a widow simultaneously with Francisco de Avalos and Maria de Espitia having children, then Maria Sanchez/Beatriz Sanchez/Beatriz Gomez and Maria de Espitia can't be the same person. And, since the Agustina de Avalos that's married to Pablo Ramirez is listed as the daughter of Maria de Espitia, she also can't be the same person as the Agustina de Avalos

Hey Danny,
Thanks for this information. It makes sense to me now. With all the names she uses I would've thought it would've been easier to locate her origins.

Throwing out some possible connections:
Francisco de Avalos aka “Francisco Gómez Cervantes De Avalos” is the son of Leonel Cervantes Carbajal and Ysabel De Avalos
The Cervantes surname was often written Gomez Cervantes.
I don’t know if this is the same Francisco De Avalos is the same one that may be married to Ysabel Sanchez aka “Sanchez De Lara” aka “Mendoza”
I wonder if Carranza was misread and what was originally written was Carvajal.

Manny,
I have studied the Cervantes y Carvajal family extensively and am interested in this Ávalos connection. I've had the line for many years in my archives, but never understood who this Isabel de Ávalos was or where she came from. As you may know the surname "Cervantes y Carvajal" originated in Mexico City when Leonel de Cervantes whom I have listed as II Mayorazgo (although there are conflicting documents as to the numerical succession) and his wife María de Carvajal married ca. 1560 in Mexico City.
It appears certain males in this family used Leonel de Cervantes as a surname, others Gómez de Cervantes, but in most cases Cervantes y Carvajal, in the end they are all the same family. In my notes, I have Isabel de Avalos as a daughter of Gonzalo de Avalos and Juana de Jérez, but it is unsourced and wish I would have taken note of that at the time, this line is from many years ago. You have her under different parents which fits the story currently in this post. I could be wrong
