Tenorio de Alba


By 1traviesa - Posted on 12 October 2011

Anyone happen to come across this last name in Zacatecas? I'm searching for a Leonarda that married Nicolas Velarde Abeyta. It says her parents were Miguel Tenorio de Alba and Barbara Tafoya Altimirana. I found this exerpt online about a Miguel but I cant seem to find if this is the same one that fathered Leonarda

A brother of Miguel Tenorio, Nicolas Tenorio, is recorded as passing
on a house in Zacatecas in 1690. The document quoted below gives great
detail as to the location of this house, which can be visited near the
amazing ruins of the San Francisco Convent in that Mexican city.
Nicolas passes the house on to Ignacio Francisco de Rivera and his
wife Juana de Arellano. He lists as his reasons his lack of time spent
at the house, an inability to pay taxes on the house, and his lack of
complying with the care and maintenance of the building.
