Fernando de Sevillano

 

Maria Barbara Rodrigues

Fernando de Sevillano and María Bárbara Rodrigues were the parents of Alonso Sevillano.  We know this from Alonso’s baptismal record, 2 February 1615, at Sagrario Metropolitano, Puebla de Zaragosa, State of Puebla, New Spain [Mexico].  The surname Sevillano does not appear in any of the early lists of conquistadores, so it is likely that Fernando de Sevillano came to New Spain [Mexico] directly from Spain.  There are many Rodrigueses in the lists of conquistadores, however.  Bárbara’s ancestors may well have been conquistadores.

We probably can assume that Fernando and Barbara were born in the period of 1570-1599.
