Today I was researching my Lizarraga line, and I discovered an interesting entry for my paternal 4th Great Grandfather, Salvador de Lizarraga, married to Maria Rosa de Herrera Anzaldo, on 20 Oct 1748 in Ixtlán del Río, Nayarit. The matrimonio record includes the following: "...vecinos de los ranchos de esta jurisdicción
El Morisca". In addition below my grandfather's name in the margin of the page is the entry, "El Morisco", or "Morisco".
My Velázquez dictionary reads: Morisco: a. Moorish, belonging to the Moors. 1. Name given to the Moors who remained in Spain after its restoration. 2. (Mex.) Quadroon. (The "Quadroon" dictionary definition, of course, is an "hijo de blanco y mulata o de muluto y mujer blanca".
I had never to date in my family research seen this racial designation. So I am wondering is it more commonplace than I believe? I would be interested in your thoughts.
Thank you.

Hello Paul,
In this case El Morisco is the name of ranch. It isn't a classification.
Saludos, Armando

Thank you, Armando. Can you direct me to literature that will tell me more
about this particular ranch? It sounds intriguing.

Hello Paul, I don't have knowledge of the ranch I was going by what you told
us was on the marriage record and what is common on them. I did try and
search for it but I never found anything about it. Many ranches have changed
names over the years so that may be the reason.
