Dear Members,

I posted this in the general forum topic by accident, but it really should be in the research section. I also started a new topic because the old one was from 2009.

I have been trying to disentangle some of the early Autlán families. Some of it is on solid footing, but some of it is based on secondary sources that I am pretty sure are NOT correct. The problem is one of chronology and probably of people named similarly (here we go again). My questions concern the identity of the Father of Inés de Tapia y Aguayo. But I really want to see a primary source, because the secondary sources do not agree with each other.

It is certain that Conq. Antonio de Aguayo was from Portillo in Spain, that he was an hijodalgo, and according to Icasa was the son of Martín de Aguayo and Catalina de Ledezma. He was certainly married to Juana de Padilla as can be seen in the PARES link mentioned in an older post, image 3, and which says he had 5 children. The link still works, which is a Méritos y Servicios letter from 1562 still works:

What is NOT a given is whether there is primary source evidence to prove that he (Conq. Antonio de Aguayo) married Elvira de la Peña. Here is my problem. If the Conq. Antonio de Aguayo married Elvira de la Peña, it would have had to have been AFTER Juana de Padilla died (which date I do not have but would have had to be after 1562). In her summary short work named “Familias Corona y Michel en Autlán de la Grana” Sylvia Herenia Corona Cortés quotes Dr. Villaseñor Bordes that Antonio de Aguayo would have married Elvira between 1533 and 1542. But this does not make sense based on the knows facts about his supposed daughter. He would in fact more likely need to marry her after Juana de Padilla. But as can be seen from the PARES link above, he likely married Juana de Padilla around 1550. file:///C:/Users/Sean%20and%20Rebekah/Downloads/FAMILIAS_CORONA_Y_MICHEL_en_Autlan_de_la.pdf

There is some agreement between secondary sources that AN Antonio de Aguayo is the father of Inés de Tapia y Aguayo (ca. 1590-1636), wife of Hernán González Corona (I) (1577-1622). The problem is that that would have to mean that Inés de Tapia y Aguayo would have had to be born at the latest by 1562, but she was having children in the 1610s, which would make her far too old. Her marriage is well attested in the Inventario de Bienes de Difuntos from 1622 http://pares.mcu.es/ParesBusquedas20/catalogo/description/3590623?nm as well as the “Anuario de la Academia de Genealogía y Heráldica ‘Mota Padilla’” of 1955, p. 97: “Que entre los hijos y herederos que quedaron por fin y muerte de Hernán González Corona y doña Inés de Tapia y Aguayo; quedaron tres menores, que son: Hernán González Corona, mayor de catorce años y menor de veinticinco, y Doña Petrona Corona, mayores de doce años y menores de veinticinco..."
Also on the same page of the Anuario:
"En el pueblo de Autlán de la Nueva España en 26 días del mes de noviembre de 1636 años, Cristóbal Manzano, marido y conjunta persona de Doña María Corona, hija legítima de Doña Inés de Tapia y Aguayo y Hernán González Corona, ya difuntos, parezco ante vuesa merced en la mejor vía y forma que a mi derecho convenga, y digo que por fin y muerte de la dicha doña Inés de Tapia y Aguayo, mi suegra, se partieron los bienes que dejó, entre sus hijos y herederos que fueron: Doña Francisca Corona, mujer legítima de Don Alvaro Sánchez de Guzmán; y Diego González Corona; Doña Isabel Corona, mujer legítima de Juan Martín Manzano; Doña María Corona, mi esposa; Doña Antonia Corona, mujer legítima de Manuel Salgado; Hernán Gonzaléz Corona; Doña Juana Corona y Doña Petrona Corona".
"De los solteros enumerados, Diego casó con Mariana Ruiz Galindo y con el hermano de ésta, Juan Ruiz Galindo, casó Juana; Petrona o Petronila fue la esposa de José Fernández de la Cueva".
