expense) which kept for them their original status of “hidalgos”
(gentry).

the Council as Alguacil Mayor (1616, 1618), General Attorney of the
County (Procurator, 1619, 1631), etc. By the marriage of Luis de la
Fuente Cabello (Domingo´s great-great- grandson) with Josefa
Gonzalez-de-Paredes y de la Garza-Falcón, Maria Antonia was tenth
direct descendant of Captain Alberto do Canto, the Portuguese founder
of the villa de Santiago del Saltillo in 1575 and his wife, Estefania
de Montemayor y Porcayo, an eleventh direct descendant of captain
Diego de Montemayor, founder of Monterrey (Mexico) and his wife, Juana
Porcayo-de-la-Cerda.
