Moises,
I descend from his sister MarÃa LucÃa or MarÃa Luisa de Treviño who m. Mateo Garcia de la Garza–son of the
ex-comulgo Juan Lorenzo GarcÃa. Garmendia Leal shows her being dau. of Catarina de los Santos and not as I
had thought dau. of Lucia de Benavides. Can you clarify this for me.
Are u aware that ex-comulgo means this person was excommunicated, denied Catholic rites?
I am also related to this gentleman. Was he indeed a General?
Muy Respetuosamente, pero considero que la Viuda de Francisco Baez Treviño era Chatarina Mayer no Amaya ni Maya, según yo alcanzo a dar lectura en el acta de referencia anteriormente mostrada…
Y al final debe decir; los cuales mandaron se le hicieran 3 pesos, para que conste lo firme. D. B Molano.
Atentamente. Francisco Melo S
Hi Moises! Thank you for sharing. I have added this document to my tree. I very appreciate the translations you provide since I don’t speak Spanish. The information regarding the will was quite interesting. Francisco BAEZ DE TREVINO y BENAVIDES & Catarina DE TREVINO y DE AMAYA are my husband’s 7th great-grandparents. He descends through their daughter Maria Gertrudis.
Gald that it helps you in your research.
Hi! Just found out he is my 9th great grandfather. I never knew I had hispanic ancestors. This makes me very proud! Hello cousin!
