Francisco de Trujillo Villavicencio and doña Mariana de Salas Orozco (SRNM: 380), were the parents of another child in addition to Alonso Moreno de Trujillo, the father of Nicolás Moreno de Trujillo (ONMF: 299). A daughter named doña Ana Moreno de Lara, a native of Mexico City, recorded banns of matrimony at the sagrario chapel of the Catedral de México, Mexico City, on 24 June 1629, with Bartolomé Fis, son of Bartolomé Rodríguez and María de Leyba. The record of banns of matrimony clearly identifies doña Ana’s parents as “Francisco de Trujillo and doña Mariana de Salas Orozco,” as shown in this transcription:

Bartolomé Fis and doña Ana Moreno de Lara (also known as Ana de Lara Moreno and Ana Trujillo) were the parents of at least two children:
María de Leiba (daughter of Bartolomé Fis and Ana Trujillo), married 20 May 1668, Santa Vera Cruz Church, Mexico City, Antonio de Suleta, son of Alonso de Suleta and María de la Cueba.
Ysabel de Lara, native of San Martín, Chalco, New Spain, (daughter of Bartolomé Fis de Leyba and Ana de Lara Moreno), married February 1671, Santa Vera Cruz Church, Mexico City, Joseph de Saabedra, native of Tescuco, New Spain.
____________________
Although Nicolás Moreno de Trujillo came to New Mexico with his family in 1694, these banns of matrimony from 1629 offers more evidence to support the probable kinship of Diego de Trujillo (born circa 1612, Mexico City; ONMF: 107-108), progenitor of the Trujillo family of New Mexico, with the Moreno de Trujillo family of Mexico City.
Diego de Trujillo had a daughter named doña Ana Moreno de Lara. Could it be that this daughter was the namesake of doña Ana Moreno de Lara, daughter of Francisco de Trujillo Villavicencio and doña Mariana de Salas Orozco? The fact that a granddaughter of Diego de Trujillo was also known by the surname of Salas y Trujillo certainly lends additional support for this probable relationship. Additional research is still needed to confirm the exact nature of kinship between these individuals.
