Rivas/Quinones ancestry

Hi,

I have traced the ancestry of some of the Rivas of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon to Rivas or de la Riva of Durango and the Quinones of Durango. Antonio Manual and Julian Rivas of Galeana, NL were born in Durango to Pedro Rivas and Maria Quinones who were married in 1723 at San Francisco de Asis, San Juan Del Rio, Durango. The records there only go to the late 1670's. Records for Nazas go to 1690s.
Cuencame records go to late 1650's. DOes anyone know if earlier records exist or were earlier records
destroyed? I don't know anything of the history of San Juan Del Rio, DUrango.

Thanks,
