Tomas Hinojosa and Gertrudis Mendez were my 3rd-greatgrandparents. I descend from Regina. Here's what I have to date:
Tomas Hinojosa (son of J. Santos Hinojosa and Juana Chavarria) was a resident of Los Aldamas, N.L. at the time of his marriage on 21 June 1850 in Cerralvo to Gertrudis Mendez (dau. of Antonio Mendez and Ma. Salome Gonzalez). See Reference: LDS FILM 1162850, Item 2, p.166, #2297
Known children of Tomas and Gertrudis:
1. J. Antonio Hinojosa was born at El Resvaladero (which I think was a ranch) in the jurisdiction of Cerralvo and was baptised 9 Oct 1854.
2. Regina Hinojosa (birth/baptism not found) married Felipe Garza (son of Asencion Garza and Gregoria Salinas). I have not located their marriage record yet, but this family shows up in the 1874 Census of Rancho de La Manteca, N.L. (see Pedraza Salinas' book, "Los Herreras : Raices de un Pueblo," p.32.) Regina and Felipe had four known children: Eligio (my ancestor), Visitacion, Francisca, and Rafaela. Regina died 18 Feb 1883 in Los Herreras, N.L. and was buried the next day in the Cemeterio de la Villa de Los Herreras. Cause of death: Fiebre (fever); her age at death was given as 28. (See LDS FILM 0600068, 1883, Fallecimiento de la adulta, Regina Hinojosa)
3. Ma. Lorenza Hinojosa was born at El Resvaladero, N.L. and baptised 15 Nov 1856 according to the Cerralvo church baptisms.
4. Jose Felix Hinojosa was born at El Resvaladero, N.L. and baptised 19 Dec 1858 according to the Cerralvo church baptisms.
5. M. Epitacia Hinojosa was born at El Resvaladero, N.L. and baptised 27 Dec 1860 according to the Cerralvo church baptisms.
6. Jose Adolfo Hinojosa was born in Los Herreras, N.L. and baptised 24 Nov 1869 according to Cerralvo church baptisms.
Note the 9 year gap between Epitacia and Adolfo. The above listed are the only children I have for Tomas Hinojosa and Gertrudis Mendez at this time, but your message lists two other children: Lucas (born 1866) and Martin (1873-1940).
Please let me know how you relate to Tomas Hinojosa and Gertrudis Mendez and email me at [email protected] if you'd like to share more information since it appears that we are "primos"!
