Andres is listed as a farmer, and neighbor from Valle de Allende, Regina's father, Domingo Gonzales, listed as deceased by the time of marriage, witnesses Maria Gonzales and Francisco de Lima.
Francisco de Lima who was born in Villaviscosia, Portugal, and was previously godfather at the 1642 Parral baptism of Josepha de Vera, Regina's younger sister.
