Josefa de Cabrera was the maternal grandmother of María Hernández de Medina (also known as María de Medina Cabrera), wife of José Ruiz de Valdés (ONMF: 301). Josefa de Cabrera (also known as Josefa Sánchez) was a daughter of Tomás de Cabrera and Gertrudis Sánchez (SRNM: 387, 388) and she was baptized on 15 November 1648, Catedral de México (Asunción). Her parents were named as Tomás de Cabrera and Gertrudis Sánchez Sabaranca. Her padrino was Francisco Estebes.
The Family Search database (LDS) has an extraction for a marriage of Thomás de Cabrera and Xertrudes Sánchez dated 20 September 1646, Santa Vera Cruz Church, Mexico City. However, the record could not be located in the microfilm copy of the book of marriages for Santa Vera Cruz Church. It could be that the date for this record was extracted incorrectly. Interested researchers will need to conduct a frame by frame search of the marriage book to determine the correct date and to extract the names of their parents, if recorded.
