Early Villalóns in Antequera

One of the things that I mentioned in my Vigallon Familly History zoom chat the other day was that I just recently discovered that the Antequera Municipal Archives have begun to digitize a lot of their collection. This includes Family histories, Parish files (including birth, baptism, death and marriage records recorded by the Church) and much more. If you read the description of the Parrish Collection (Fondos Parroquiales), it says this (with a quick translation):

The first Church to be founded in the city was that of San Salvador on October 10, 1410 in the mosque of the Medina, being blessed by Don Lope de Mendoza, Archbishop of Santiago who also celebrated the first mass. It didn't take long for it to become a Parish, since on February 16, 1411 Don Alfonso of Pastrana, perpetual administrator of the Holy Church of Seville, with consent of the dean and council of said Church, ordered the erection of three parishes in Antequera, one in the castle in the church of San Salvador and two in the town, in the churches to be built under the dedications of San Isidro Labrador and Santa María de la Esperanza. Chronologically the next parish founded in the city was that of San Juan Bautista, which already existed at the beginning of the 16th century in the neighborhood of the same name. In 1512, there is evidence of the existence of the parish church of San Sebastián and a few years later on October 20, 1518, Bartolomé de Baena blesses the new church and parish of San Pedro built at the expense of the knights Don Esteban de Villalón and his son Don Cristóbal de Villalón. 

These parishes will remain until the year 1667, when Fray Alonso de Santo Tomas suppresses the primitive parishes of San Salvador and San Isidro Labrador, due to the depopulation that the area of ​​their jurisdiction. Regardless of whether the documentation and rights pass to the parishes of Santa María and San Juan Bautista, their respective holy brotherhoods are then located in the hermitages of San Miguel Arcángel and Santiago, which over time will become parishes, to wit in 1822, and which make up the structure that has survived to this day.

The San Pedro church is where Mama Concha (Concepción Aguilar Muñoz) was baptized, just a few blocks from the Pensión Toril where she was born.  

I traced our Villalóns back to about 1640, and didn't go further back because I didn't have time to do it! So it's not a stretch to imagine that the connection exists with those first Villalóns in Antequera who founded San Pedro.

After a glance at the Family Histories Collection, I see there are files on the Aguilar and Muñoz (Mama Concha's surnames), so there's a whole other history to discover!
