María López

  Noted events in her life were:

• Census: Spanish Colonial, in 1750, in Villa de Alburquerque, Nuevo Méjico, Nueva España. ²⁷⁰
Since Juana Cedillo was the wife of Carlos Lopes, it is very likely that she is the mother of Miguel, Diego and María Lopes. While Juana was married to Carlos, they lived in the Ysleta District. No records from the time Juana and Carlos were in this district survive today. The ages of the three Lopes children given in the census of 1750 makes their birthdate (11716-1725) during the time Juana and Carlos were located there, and right before Carlos died, sometime before 7 Sep 1725. Added to this, all four individuals, Juana Sedillo and her three Lopes children, are "intervined as godparents and witnesses."
