You can use the screen shot at the right from the FamilySearch.com site to search the FamilySearch site from Cosme Molinar's grandson's wife to Ponce de Leon.
Cosme's grandson, Diego de Molinar y Sapién's is the doorway to the far past. He was born on August 30, 1676 in Valle de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico (though, of course, it was New Spain then.) Diego was married three times and had 8 children by his first wife, 7 children by his second wife, and (lucky for us who descend from him) 9 children by his third wife María Theresa Cordero Domínguez including Antonio Eudovigio Molinar from whom the Terlingua descendants issue.
