Fernando, Antonio and Pedro (De La Campa y Cos)


By MADERA_32 - Posted on 11 September 2015

Don Fernando De La Campa y Cos was he Conde of Hacienda San Mateo, Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico. Supposedly he was born in 1676 in Burgos, Spain and I have been trying to find his pasajero de indias.

Some historians of Zacatecas say he arrived to Sombrerete, Zacatecas, Mexico in 1693. That would make him 17 years old and if he traveled as a kid on boat, he mostly likely was accompanied by adult. The adult would have his name registered in the pasajero de indias and one would have to read that document with hopes of finding Fernando De La Campa y Cos as a companion for being a kid.

Now, I was also told that his brother Antonio De La Campa Y Cos was the one that brought him over to Nueva Galicia. But I went into the Pars website and find:

Refernce code to enter: GUADALAJARA,44,N.6

Document is dated 3/14/1675 and 14 pages long.

Brief description: "Expediente de Confirmación del oficio de teniente de capitán general del real y minas de Sombrerete a Antonio de la Campa Cos. Resuelto"

Fernando De La Campa y Cos wasn't even born in 1675.

I was reading the first page and it mentions "Pedro De La Campa" and decided to look him up.

Reference code: INDIFERENTE,125,N.18

That document is 4 pages long and dated 2/28/1675
