Caldera and Carlos families from Zacatecas

["elviraz" <elviraz@...>]

I, too, am interested in hearing more about the Caldera and Carlos families 
from Zacatecas.  I have an assortment of Calderas from Zacatecas who went to 
Durango.   I have a grandma named Victoria Zavala-Carlos (H) Onofre 
Aguilar-Hernandez who had Maria-del-Refugio "Cuca" Aguilar-Zavala from 
Fresnillo. Also a grandma Maria-Anacleta "Cleta" Caldera married to 
José-María(1) Garcia from Tepetongo.
I envision a hard time with the Calderas because I understand there were 
about a dozen Miguel Calderas living about the same time, of which Don 
Miguel Caldera was the only mestizo or Spaniard. All others were Indians who 
had taken his name to honor him.  All had a large number of children except 
don Miguel. Regarding don Miguel:  this is the book about him. It has been 
translated into Spanish.
Capitán Mestizo: Miguel Caldera y la frontera norteña la pacificación de los 
chichimecas (1548-1597)  by Philip Wayne Powell
P. 18 mentions who his parents were (his mother was baptized, so there must 
be an acta de bautismo somewhere):
"El propio Miguel se refirió a sí mismo como hijo natural de esa unión."
"...Su madre había sido bautizada y vivía con Pedro."

Pedro Caldera, Miguel's father, had a brother named Xristobal (he had a 
daughter named Isabel Caldera born in Fresnillo, about 1574.
I understand that Miguel Caldera married a Srita. Valdez (I don't know her 
first name).
Miguel also had a daughter named Isabel Caldera, born about Abt. 1570 in 
Xerez, Zacatecas. This is the Isabel who married Captain Juan (Flores) 
de-la-Torre. This Isabel had two sons I know of: Melchor and Marcos de la 
Torre Caldera, both born in Xerez.

Book is by Powell, Philip Wayne.  Capitán Mestizo: Miguel Caldera y la 
frontera norteña  la pacificación de los chichimecas (1548-1597)  by Philip 
Wayne Powell,  (Mexico 1980. Fondo de Cultura Económica.).
(1977 Mexico's Miguel Caldera. The Taming of America's First Frontier 
(1548-1597). Tucson: The University of Arizona Press. By PHILLIP WAYNE 
POWELL ).
Here's another reference for Miguel Caldera:

Luis Potosí, SLP, Ayuntamiento de San Luis Potosí, 1997, 15 pp.
I have quite a number of  loose Calderas from Durango and like the ones 
below.
