Arturo,

I wonder how close the two ranchos (de las Ranas and Loera)? It appears
that the two families had a connection....now to unravel the mystery....

Thanks for keeping me in mind Arturo.

Esperanza:

The two ranchos appear right after each other. Often times the definition of ranchos is fluid, in the sense that they would basically be a group of houses built by families who had farmland or grazing land nearby. The fact that Ranchos de la Ranas had such few inhabitants in this census and then became an important rancho in later years leads me to believe that it "absorbed" nearby ranchos... perhaps that of los Loera. I would suspect that the families that lived in the two Ranchos were related.

(1754) census:

Pedro Marin de Herrera, casado
Ana Ventura Garcia, su mujer
Santos Marcelo , su hijo
Pedro de Herrera, su hijo
Maria de Herrera, su hija
Bernardo de Arroyo, su yerno
Maria Casilda , su mujer

I am wondering if Pedro de Herrera, su hijo is the same Pedro Prudencio de
Herrera who married in 1757 to Nicolaza Paula de Estrada SanMartin....although,
I have down that he was previously married to Ana Arrellano...but all this
is still possible, in lieu of the dates (1754...1757)

Another tidbit that I picked up is that Pedro Prudencio de Marin de Errera's
father might have been "Luis Marin de Errera...who would have married Maria
Roza Serano around 1757 as well (probably one of the many wives).

Back to the drawing board....
Thanks Arturo.....
