Research Notes

1. There is no baptism record in Abiquiu, Santa Fe, or Santa Cruz for a daughter of Juan Martín Serrano and María Benavides named María Josefa born in 1785. There is a baptism record in Abiquiu in 1784 for the daughter of Alejandro Martín and Antonia Margarita Vigil named María Josefa. Except for the year, the baptism date and location matches. These are almost certainly her parents so I detached the other two.
