Jose de Atienza Alcala y Escobar

(c. 1649 - after 1716)

Gertrudis Sevillano de Mancilla

(c. 1652 - after 1716)

José de Atienza de Alcala y Escobar and Gertrudis Sevillano de Mancilla were the parents of  José de Atienza Sevillano II.  We know this from LDS Disk # 38 Pins # 505057, #502279, and #502289.  We also know this from the research of Fray Angelico Chavez, published on pp.139-140 of Origin of New Mexico Families.

Chavez states

JOSÉ DE ATIENZA DE ALCALÁ Y ÉSCOBAR was a native of Villa Berguera in the Archbishopric of Toledo [Spain] boasted at a son’s wedding that was a member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic. He and his wife, Gertrudis Sevillano de Mancilla came [to New Mexico] with the colonists of 1693, with two adult sons, Juan and José, and two minor ones, Manuel, fifteen; and Joaquín, thirteen.  In 1698, old José signed his full name again during another marriage deposition, again mentioned his Dominican affiliation and gave his age as forty-nine. He gave his age as sixty-four in 1713.  In 1716 he was granted permission to return to New Spain [Mexico], and it seems as though the family did leave, except José II and his family, and Joaquín, who seems to have died before that time.

José’s parents were Juan Fernández de Atienza and María Margarita de Alcalá y Éscobar. We know this from LDS Disk #38 Pin #502289 and Pin #505057.  He was born in 1649 in Mexico City, New Spain [Mexico].

Gertrudis was baptized 11 February 1649 in Sagrario, Puebla de los Angeles, Mexico.  Her parents were Alonso Sevillano and Ana del Castillo Mancilla.

José and Gertrudis were married 22 October 1667, in the Cathedral of Mexico City, Mexico. [Disk #38 Pin 502279]. They returned to the interior of Mexico in 1716.  They were accompanied by the family of their son Manuel.
