Does anyone know who Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza is? She would of been born around 1530 in Mexico City. Her father was said to be Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, a Spanish Conquistador, and the grandchild of
Rodrigo Hurtado de Mendoza, the Marquis of Cenete. Other sources said this is inaccurate and there is no evidence for this. I think many of us on Ranchos descend from Isabel de Mendoza through the Ruiz de Esparza and Lopez de Elisalde lines. Is there any Mexico City Records or anything during that period that could prove this? and find out who she exactly is? Any assistance is helpful. Thanks. -Daniel Mendez del Camino

Daniel,

Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza is in my family tree. She was born Circa 1930 and
married Toribio Hernandez de Arellano about 1588 in Lagos de Moreno,
Jalisco.

Partial issue from this mariage were:
Daughter: - Maria Hurtado de Mendoza, born Circa 1567, and married to
Rodrigo Olivares about 1588 in Lagos de Moreno.
Grand-daughter: Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza, born about 1590, and married to
Gonzalo Ramirez de Arellano about 1607 in Jalostotitlan, Jalisco.

As to her ascendency, some of the information in my files "suggests" that
she was the daughter of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza but, because of my present
focus on other ancestral lines in my tree, I have not yet had the
time/opportunity to access and read her birth documents to "confirm" this.

I would also be very interested in any additional facts that other members
may contribute.

Saludos,

Efrain Conrique

Hello Efrain, Thanks for your help, I was wondering since I have extra time
where would or where do you think her records would be also that of Toribio Hernandez? Mexico City, or Aguascalientes? since its ca. 1530 it should me Mexico City or in that region.
