Re: [ranchos] Re: Rancho del Muerto - Gracias

 
Rosalinda,
This site is facinating.  I looked up Herrera, and there appears to be a rancho en Los Altos de Jalisco and Luna in Jerez!  Now while this may be a very remote possibility, perhaps the families from the areas are related to those from Tlaltenango.  Or, it could mean that there were lots of baptisms being performed on the indigenous populations, and they ran out of surnames.....

Hi Helyn--
 
If you click on this link: http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm , it is a geographic dictionary and lists many of the ranchos and cities in Mexico, in alphabetical order.  Click on M, and then scroll down to the link for Muertos, which happens to be on page 152, volume 4.  There are 18 ranchos listed under Muerto, and 5 under Muertos, with other variations included.  I love this website, as it often helps me identify towns or ranchos  that are unfamiliar to me.  There is a rancho named Muertos near Tepetongo, which is near Jerez.

From what I have been able to gather there are two places called
Ranch del Muerto in Mexico.

One is in Chihuahua.  The other is in Aguascalientes.  There is a
place on modern maps in the municipality of Rincon de Romos called
Puerta del Muerto, which may be it and the other is a place just near
Aguascalientes (the city) called Cerro del Muerto.

Given the proximity of Tlaltenango to Aguascalientes, that is
probably where you should search.  There is someone who refers to el
Rancho del Muerto in their geneaology as well:

And a map:

he is listed as being from "Rancho del Muerto". (Hmmm I wonder how
that rancho was named). Has anyone encountered ancestors from this
rancho? I am looking for other possible connections...especially,
since many of the families in these ranchos were related.
