My Diego Montemayor connection

My family lines on my maternal side lead directly to Diego Montemayor, the founder & governor of Monterrery, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, whom was born 1530 in Malaga, Andalusia, Spain.   After researching my ancestry throughly, I counted having over 10 family lines linking me directly to this governor and early conquistador, Diego Hernandez Montemayor.  He was my 11th, 12th, & 13th great grandfather as I am linked to him through all his 3 wives.

Diego Montemayor is credited with the founding of Monterery, the capital of the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, on September 20, 1596. The establishment was officially called Ciudad Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey. 

Montemayor was the first person to find Monterrey after the two previous attempts by the men who bore the names Santa Lucia and San Luis Rey de Francia and  who were headed by Alberto de Canto, the future arch-enemy of Montemayor.  Montemayor brought forty people with him from Saltillo to populate Monterrey; nine married couples, three men without families, fourteen boys, four girls, and one Indian named Domingo Manuel.  Montemayor served as governor of Nuevo Leon  from 1588 to 1610 after he reconquered the province.  His first wife was Inez Rodríguez, who came with him from Spain to the New World in 1548.  His other wives were María de Esquivel, and Juana Porcalla de la Cerda.  He had one kid from each wife and the kids names were Inez, Diego, and Estefanía.

Diego Montemayor was quite a tough but cold character.  During the Chichimeca War in 1550, Montemayor was often away from his third wife, Juana Porcalla de la Cerda, and her attention soon focused on Alberto del Canto, who was only a few years older than her. When Montemayor later confronted her about the ongoing affair, an argument took place between them and he drew his sword and killed her.  He f

ABOUT Governor DIEGO MONTEMAYOR and wives INÉS RODRÍGUEZ, MARÍA ESQUIVEL, JUANA PORCALLO CERDA:
Diego de Montemayor was an early Spanish explorer, conquistador of New Spain, and founder of Monterrey, Mexico. It is thought that he entered military service soon after his arrival in the New World and eventually was recruited by Luís de Carvajal, the well-connected Spanish Crown officer who had been awarded a large territory named Nuevo Reino de León. He put Captain Montemayor in charge of the territorial capitol city of León, later named Cerralvo.

It has not been definitively established as to the family origins of Diego de Montemayor. The prevailing theory as stated in the Catalogo de Pasajeros a Indias is that he is the named individual Diego Montemayor, who sailed from Sevilla, Spain destined for Nueva España in 1548, described as a resident of Malaga, Andalusia, Spain, son of Juan de Montemayor Hernandez and he is traveling with his young wife, Inés Rodríguez “who is of good body, with large eyes and dark eyebrows, seventeen years of age...”.

It is believed by many that Diego Montemayor's oldest daughter was named María Inés Rodríguez who married early Saltillo colonizer Baltasar Castaño de Sosa. On the opposite of that question are those that do not agree that Diego’s oldest daughter married Castaño de Sosa. They believe his first daughter was María Rodríguez without a husband or children. The latter is what you will see in this Descendant Report.

Diego’s second marriage was to María de Esquivel with whom he had a son and heir named Diego de Montemayor, el mozo (Junior). In mid-life Diego married the much younger Juana Porcallo de la Cerda who gave birth to his second daughter Estefania Montemayor. Don Diego scandalously murdered his third wife Doña Juana around 15

    Diego de Montemayor (c. 1530 – 1611) was a Spanish conquistador, explorer, officer, and the governor of Nuevo Reino de León.

    Early life

    Historians dispute his date of birth, place of birth, and the identity of his parents. However, Antonio Morales Goméz and Carlos Pérez Maldonado have stated, without proving it, that Montemayor was born in the year 1530. In the Catalogo de Pasajeros a Indias, a certain "Diego de Montemayor" appears to have sailed toward New Spain from Sevilla, he is described to be a resident of Málaga, son of Juan de Montemayor and Mayor Hernández, and the husband of Inés Rodríguez.

    Founding of Monterrey

    Montemayor is credited with the founding of Monterrey, the capital of the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo León, on September 20, 1596. The establishment was officially called Ciudad Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey ("Metropolitan City of Our Lady of Monterrey," partly to curry favor from the Viceroy of the time, the Gaspar de Zúñiga y Acevedo, Count of Monterrey. Montemayor's founding was the third effort. The two previous ones bore the names Santa Lucia and San Luis Rey de Francia and were headed by Alberto del Canto, the future arch-enemy of Montemayor, and the second by Luis de Carabajal y Cueva. Montemayor brought forty people with him from Saltillo to populate Monterrey; nine married couples, three men without families, fourteen boys, four girls, and one Indian named Domingo Manuel.

    Personal life

    Montemayor served as governor of Nuevo León from 1588 to 1610 after he reconquered the province. He may have been married three times. His probable first wife was Inez Rodríguez, who came with him from Spain to the New World in 1548; then second María de Esquivel, and third Juana Porcalla de la Cerda. Montemayor had three children, one from each of his wives. His children were Inez, Diego, and Estefanía.[2&
