Looking for input on Villaseñor tovar data


By Visitor - Posted on 03 August 2016

In my research of my Villaseñor Tovar lines I have seen many posts on the Internet with a wide range of dates. I hope a discussion is started between the people with different dates.

Here are some of my notes:

Don Diego de Burgos y Tovar was "alcalde de la fortaleza de Uclés " in the late 1400's and early 1500's During this time as alcade he was already on at least his second marriage.

From his first marriage he had a son named Luis Villaseñor that left many descendants in Spain.

From his second marriage to Doña Guiomar de Horosco y Sandoval he had three sons. I descend from two of their sons, Diego the eldest and Juan the youngest

Diego De Orosco Tovar (the eldest from the second marriage) was born in 1483, Francisco was born abt 1490 and Juan was born in 1500.

Since Diego de Orosco Tovar is born in 1483 and he is the product of a second marriage then his father could not have been born in 1480 as some have posted. It is impossible for the 1480 date to be correct. Let's say that his brother, Luis Villaseñor from his previous marriage is born three years earlier in 1480 and make Diego de Burgos at least twenty-five for his first son's birth. This would make Diego de Burgos birthdate prior to 1455. Most likely much earlier given that I am only adding a few years between the children of the two marriages.

Given the information that we know, Diego de Burgos Tovar (Villaseñor) was an older gentleman when his youngest son Juan Villaseñor Tovar y Orosco was born.

This is the lineage :

Juan de Villaseñor Serones and Elvira De Tovar Enriquez

Diego de Villaseñor y Tovar (born between 1405-1420) Isabel de Villaseñor (Alfonso Villaseñor)

Diego de Burgos Tovar (Villaseñor) (born prior 1455) and his second wife Guiomar Horosco y Sandoval (born prior 1481)

Juan Villaseñor-Tovar y Orosco (born 1500) and Catalina Cervantes
