Help with origin of the Esquibia family, Mesquiticacan, and laborios


By RaquelRuiz - Posted on 01 December 2012

Does anyone know where the Esquibia brothers, Lorenzo and Francisco hail
from? They show up in the Nochistlan area (Mesquiticacan--is that an
early version of Mexticacan?) in the 1660s. Lorenzo and his wife Juana
Yanez del Monte are my 8ggpts. I've not located a mg record, but have
located 5 children between 29 Aug 1667 and 20 Jun 1677, Maria, Antonia,
Juan. Lorenzo, and Nicolasa.

One baptismal record stated that they were "laborios todos". Does that
just mean they were all manual laborers, or does it mean more? They are
consistently labeled as espanoles.

Thanks for any help or clarification.
