Biography

Isabel was born about 1632 to unknown parents (see Research Note). She was married to Pedro Cedillo Rico de Rojas.^[1][2] According to her daughter's marriage record, she died sometime before 1692.^[2][3]

Research Notes

1. While there are sources proving that Andrés López de Gracia (abt.1600-), María López de Millán (1613-aft.1684), Lucia López de Gracia (1620-), Sebastiana López de Gracia (abt.1620-1686), and Isabel López de Gracia (1632-1692) were siblings,^[4] the only mention of their parents is a document, "Lista de los soldados que van a la Nueva Mexico" which says "Andres Lopez de Garcia, son of Bentura."^[5] Fray Angélico Chávez did a bit of conjecturing and said that their father may have been Antonio de Gracia "or a brother," possibly Bentura. Antonio's parents were Juan Lopez and Gerónima Millán which could explain the surnames used by this family.^[6]
2. Isabel's correct surname is López de Gracia according to the prenuptial investigation for her son Joaquin.^[7] Also, three of her four siblings used López de Gracia. Two of her children's DMs list her as Isabel de Gracia^[2][8] but I think the full name should be used. Korte-201 07:21, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
