Ancestors #7 & #8: Jose Maria Trejo y Eugenia Flores --- Married 1824 --- (4th Great Grandparents)

If there is one person I could back in time to meet, it might be Jose Maria Trejo to confirm his spouse and ancestors. I hit a brick wall with him & his wife that took me over a year to climb.  

I did not find a marriage record for Jose Maria & Maria Eugenia after searching through all the indexed parish records in the vicinity of Tarimoro.  Tarimoro did not have a parish at the time of their marriage.  Salvatierra, San Bartolo Aguas Calientes (Apatzeo el Alto), Apatzeo el Grande, and Rincon de Tamayo were the nearest parishes to Taliscoya.  I found the record after searching page by page in the only parish without indexed records, San Bartolome - Rincon De Tamayo.

When I first found the record, I wasn’t sure it was the right one because the name of Jose Maria Trejo's spouse didn’t match other church records.  For example, in the marriage record for Rafael Trejo, his mother is listed as Maria Eugenia Flores, while in his baptism record his mother is listed as Maria Eugenia Gertrudis.  I figured her name was a combination of Maria Eugenia Gertrud's Flores.  

Jose Maria Trejo y Maria Eugenia Gertrudis 1824

What is interesting about this record is that it lists the spouse of Jose Maria Trejo (JMT) as Maria Eugenia Gertrudis (MEG), with no surname.  Her parents were Juan Francisco de Gomes and Maria Marselina Boverta Mejia.  If this is indeed the correct record, when and why did she use Flores later in life?  She was a 15 year old bride from Carrizo, a small rancho in Tarimoro, at the time of her marriage.    JMT was a 20 year old bachelor from Taliscolla (Taliscoya or Tlalixcoya).  His parents were listed as Bernardo Trejo and Maria Josefa Merina. The padrinos were Jose Antonio Trejo and Maria Josefa Nunes, the former being Bernardo's brother.  

I’m very paranoid about incorporated an incorrect record into my family tree, so I decided to find all the records for where Jose Maria Trejo and Maria Eugenia are listed as spouses to discover any patterns.  What I did below was to document all the baptism records where JMT was listed as the father and a variation of Maria Eugenia Gertrudies was listed as the mother.  Some of the Trejos below have a mother with a surname as Gomez, and others as Flores.  

I searched for a baptism record for the child of JMT & MEG where it listed MEG with the surname Gomes and a corresponding MI record for that child where it listed MEG with the surname Flores.  I believed that such a record would be proof that Maria Eugenia used Gomez as her surname early in life and Flores later in life.  I found one child, Jose Pascacio Margarito Trejo, that met the aforementioned search.  In his baptismal record from 1830, it states that he was born in Taliscolla to JMT & Maria Eugenia Gomes.  In the MI record below, the groom is listed as being 24 years old (which means he was born around 1830) resident of Taliscoya, and the son of JMT & Maria Eugenia Flores.  One of the witnesses was Jose Thimotheo Trejo,  the brother of JMT.  All the evidence points to Maria Eugenia Gomes and Maria Eugenia Flores being the same person.

Jose Pascacio Trejo Baptism (4th Great Uncle)

Jose Pascacio MI (4th Great Uncle)

This was the first brick wall I encountered on the Trejo line. I found greater pleasure in scaling the wall than I did seeing the Giants win the world series for the first time.  There is another brick wall on the Trejo line that for the time being, I can't pass.  

Maria Eugenia Gertrudis (1808 - ???)

Eugenia was baptized on November 20, 1808.  I have been unable to located her death record.  The other records I have for her are the baptism and marriage records of her children.  

Jose Maria Trejo (???- about 1850)

I don't have a definitive record for Jose Maria's baptism.  I located what I believe to be his death record, but I unfortunately did not save it.  The other records I have for him are the baptism and marriage records of his children.
