Arquelles Surname of Zacatecas?


By MADERA_32 - Posted on 18 October 2014

Hi! I never realized this. But my woman partner is from the city of Zacatecas. Her family have a friend named "Tomas Arguelles" who resides in the City of Zacatecas but he is from "Monte Escobedo" near Mezquitic, Jalisco

I remember people in nuestros ranchos telling me about the Arquelles Family of Zacatecas after I had posted that I found a defunto record of Don Fernando Arquelles Natural Del Principal de Asturias 1797 who passed away at our village of Huejuquilla.

Now I am curious about my pareja's family friend "Tomas Arquelles" I know him in person when I have been with my woman's family of Zacatecas. He has a facebook page. The Arquelles of Zacatecas...are the upper class families there. My woman's family of the city of Zacatecas are friends with them.

Since he is from Monte Escobedo....seems his long ago ancestors were in the same area as my GGGGGGG Grandfather Antonio Madera (1660 - 1709) and Maria De La Candelaria (1655 - 1735) at Minillas.

"I need help from someone please in that you can you tell me what it means when this person that I found in Defuntos in our village of Huejuquilla, Jalisco Mexico in the year 1797.

Says "Don Fernando Arquelles Natural Del Prinicipal De Asturias"

What does it say or mean about Asturias? I have no relation to him but just curious.
