Do you have any information about Pedro Serrano of Spain?

Pedro Serrano and Catalina Fernandez, residents of Jerez de Badajoz, in the Province of Extremadura, western Spain, were parents of two soldier sons who came to the new world with their wives. It is believed that Pedro Serrano, also a soldier, had fought in the armies of Queen Isabela and King Ferdinand against the Moors during the early 1480's and in to the mid 1490's. The two sons were named Martin Serrano and Bartolome Fernandez. By 1519 Martin Serrano had joined the forces of Hernan Cortez, serving under the command of Don Cristobal de Oņate. Martin Serrano's first born son was also named Hernan and also known as Hernando, receiving his first name after the conquerer of Mexico, Hernan Cortez and his middle name Martin after his father. His full name was Hernan Martin Serrano who also became a soldier under the command of Cristobal Oņate and later uner Cristobal's son, Don Juan de Oņate.
