The following article I found in "Jerez, Monografia e
Historia, by Ricardo Santoyo Reveles."
Here goes:
La Esclavitud
"El 7 de abril de 1780, llego el reclamon de una de
estas ventas, realizado por Don Pantaleon de le Torre
y Salcedo en poder de la senora Rosa Gomez, viudua de
Eusebio Sanchez Castellanos, quien reclama a su
apoderado el trato de una mulata esclava de nomber
Petra, la que obtuvo por su difunto marido, y que
nacio en su casa durante su matrimonio; julio de 1760,
se trato a Don Pedro Calderon, asentista de gallos en
Jerez, este trato tenia ano y medio de haberse
efectuado; en ese tiempo de la Torre y Salcedo vendio
en 170 pesos y despues se valuo en 125, y Rose Gomez
reclama que no se le padgado la totalidad del precio y
que se resisten a pagar lo expresado y que esto iria
hasta los tribunales competentes.
La Audiencia Real de Mexico, expdio en 1716 eln
drecho de libertad a los escloavos de jerez, pero esto
no se lleva a cabo, todavio para el sigle XIX,
existian algunos esclavos."
Apparently, the widow of Eusebio Sanchez Castellanos,
a relative of my great----grandfather Antonio Sanchez
of Jerez, had a dispute over the ownership and price
of a slave by the name of Petra.
So you can see that some of our common ancestors from
Jerez, were buying and selling slaves during the early
history of Mexico. It was hard for me to believe that
any relative of mine would deal in such awful trade.
But life goes on regardless of what happend in the
past.

When I was in Zacatecas, our tour guide, who took us
to my grandmother's hometown of Jerez, looked
mulatto. But I wasn't about to tell him that he
looked mulatto. BTW, Al, which ancestor bought
slaves? Marge V.:)

Note:
I have a historical event book from Jerez, and
there
is an article where they were selling black and
mulatto slaves on the open market (early 1700s).
In
fact, I believe one of my ancestors buying them.
Question: What happened to all these slaves? When
I
went to Jerez, I didn't see a single black! I
believe
they were assimilated in to the population.
Any comments?
Alberto.
