INQUISICION MEXICANA EN LAGOS: Lopez, Sanchez de Mendoza, Sanchez de Lara

Hola prim@s,
Ready for some more primary source? This is the proceso contra Padre Alonso Lopez de Espinar beneficiado de Lagos por solicitante, and against his “enemigo capital,” Padre Tomas Ruiz, another priest in Lagos, por amancebado con dos mugeres casadas. This is from Feb 1592, so the list of witnesses is basically a who’s who of early Lagos.
Like a lot of you, everything I know about these people, I learned from Holcombe and Gonzalez-Leal, and from the available records that still exist. This proceso reveals some new people (for me, at least): Gabriel Sanchez and Cristobal Sanchez, sons of Toribio Hernandez cc Ysabel de Mendoza; Gabriel Sanchez was married to Ysabel Sanchez de Lara, hija de Juan Sanchez ya difunto cc Elvira Gil de Lara. It also connects some of the descendants of Luis Lopez cc Mencia Lopez (question: is she the same who married Francisco Lopez Muñiz, parents of Ynes Lopez cc Juan Lopez de Nava?)
These are my notes, basically an index of the witnesses. Most of them are giving testimony about the defendants. Enjoy!
