These are records relevant to Bachiller Francisco Lopez de la Cruz, son of Francisco Lopez de la Cruz and Alfonsina de la Paz. He was the cura beneficiado del partido de Tlaltenango. His name is seen in various records - in the almoneda de bienes of his mother, Alfonsina de la Paz: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-69X3-W?i=303&cat=…, and as a witness for records regarding his siblings: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-69FV-2?i=137&cat=…

Here’s his Informaciones, found at PARES. It’s dated 1600 in Guadalajara, with witness interviews. The document is in pristine condition and is easy to read; it establishes Francisco as son of Francisco cc Alfonsina, and how they were antiguos pobladores of Guadalajara, and gente honrada y principal etc: https://pares.mcu.es:443/ParesBusquedas20/catalogo/description/344700

This one is dated 3 Mar 1603, and he appears to be requesting compensation for being beneficiado of Tlaltenango? https://www

As announced, here is the testamento of Juana Bautista Lopez de la Paz, daughter of Francisco Lopez de la Cruz and Alfonsina de la Paz, and wife of Andres Venegas de Torres: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BF-3R5M?i=252&cat=35…

According to the probanza from 1616, the Lopez de la Cruz Haedo line would look like this:

    i.    Pedro de la Cruz, Señor de la Casa y Solar de Haedo (o Ahedo)
    ii.    Diego López de la Cruz cc ?
    iii.    Juan de la Cruz cc ?
    iv.    Francisco, Diego, Alonso, Lorenzo, Cristóbal López de la Cruz Haedo

With the information that I have, this would be Maria Mancina’s descent from Francisco Lopez de la Cruz and Alfonsina de la Paz:

    i.    Juan de la Cruz cc Marina Álvarez
    ii.    Francisco López de la Cruz cc Alfonsina de la Paz
    iii.    Leonor Ortiz cc Miguel de Ribera
    iv.    Miguel de Ribera cc Catalina Gonzalez
    v.    Magdalena Ribera cc Gerónimo Mancina
    vi.    María Mancina cc Domingo de Onís y Vela

It would make sense that Francisco Lopez de la Cruz Haedo and Francisco Lopez de la Cruz cc Alfonsina de la Paz were the same person - why else would they include that probanza in the folder? But chronologically, there are some problems:

1. Francisco Lopez and Alfonsina de

For those who descend from Miguel de Ribera and Leonor Ortiz, here is his testamento: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-696T-5?i=366&cat=… and https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-69FL-3?i=136&cat=…

And here, Leonor Ortiz, on behalf of her minor children,  grants power to Geronimo Arias: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-6961-G?i=386&cat=…

And here is Geronimo Arias, acting on their behalf: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-69J6-M?i=42&cat=1…

Gracias Agustín, por registrar los datos de los testigos; estoy seguro de que serán útiles para quienes desciendan de esas personas. Y si lo leí correctamente, no pudieron encontrar el acta de bautismo de Catalina González, esposa de Miguel Ribera: según quienes realizaban las diligencias, los antiguos libros parroquiales se perdieron en una inundación y fueron arrastrados por las corrientes del río, lo que explica por qué no hay registros anteriores a 1626 en Tlaltenango (!!).
