Hi Bill, I too believe this might be Pablo Villalobos as "Pablo Vasquez'' because it would make sense he was married a first time to Martina Esparsa on 18 Feb 1835. Hmm maybe Martina is Matiana's sister? I don't know. So far a lot of my lines seem to be leaving huanusco and coming from Calvillo which is right on the border. Thanks for all your help. I was reading about the Esparzas and it said Lope II married Francisca de Gabay Navarro y Moctezuma. Doesnt that mean Francisca maternal side comes from Emperor Monctezuma? Hope we can work together to uncover my mysteries. Are you by chance related to Lope Ruiz de Esparza?
Ruiz de Esparza
Yes Daniel, I have three genealogical lines going straight to Lope Ruiz de Esparza and Francisca Gabai de Moctezuma. Allegedly, Petronila de Moctezuma, Francisca's mother, was the granddaughter of the last Aztec emperor Moctezuma II, although no one has been able to prove it. Hopefully, we'll find the proper documentation one of these days. Unfortunately, most of what has been posted on the Internet about her "parents" is pure speculation and wishful thinking.
