Hi, I'm looking for information on a place (a rancho?) called Monte de los Velascos in the late 1700's Jurisdicción of Nochistlán. I'm looking specifically for Manuel Antonio Zevallos de la Barrera, aka Manuel Barrera, who I suspect married (María) Micaela Velasco there, sometime around the 1760s. Nowadays there's a place called Rinconada de Velasco, I wonder if that's how it's called now. Would appreciate any info.
Btw, I'm researching Tecalitán (now Tecalitlán) in south Jalisco. It was just properly founded in the 1780s and lots of people from Nochistlán appear there among the settlers, in case you have any missing lines.
Monte de los Velascos,

Monte de los Velascos,
Thanks so much, Rick. Again, I just saw this reply. The dates of the first baptism does not match (not the same couple) but they're surely related.
