Ponce de León

Gonzalo Ponce de León, the great-grandfather of Josefa Bustos (also known as Pas Bustillos and Ontiveros), was a "texedor", a weaver. To date, one baptismal record has been uncovered for a child of Gonzalo Ponce de León and his wife doña Jacinta de Pineda. This couple had a son christened Nicolás who was baptized 28 January 1618, Santa Catarina Church, Mexico City. The padrinos for this child were Baltazar Ruiz and Ana María.

Additional research is needed to determine the origins of Gonzalo Ponce de León and doña Jacinta de Pineda.
