Note on Marriage
In the period 1700-1713, when Juan Antonio's parents were arrested by the Inquisitorial Court of Castile, the family was separated. So by 1707 Juan Antonio David de Castro y Mendoza and Anna Maria Osorio Rivera had probably left Amsterdam. Whilst spending time in Amsterdam as shown by the 1999 de Castro Thesis document he, his wife and several children soon left Amsterdam and were caught up by the Inquisition.
Note on Husband: Antonio (David) DECASTRO (MENDOZA)
Also used the alias Juan Antonio de Castro. He married, possibly to his sister-in-laws sister Ana Maria and started a family. He seems to have travelled around, to places including such as Seville, Granada and Badajoz, but was based in Cadiz. Antonio was arrested by the Inquisition in 1696 and placed in their Seville dungeon. Wife and children escape to Holland apx 1698
Much of the Spanish Inquisition archive have now been recovered and also many destroyed over the years. Antonio Mendoza was reconciled to the Church at a small auto-da-fe in the Church of Santa Ana in 1698.The Seville Tribunal of the Spanish Inquisition wrote to all the other Tribunals and the Suprema in Madrid alerting them that Antonio had jumped bail. David Mendoza researcher believes he surfaced a few years later in Amsterdam, as David de Mendoza, a witness at a family wedding. Other researchers state the witness was in fact his brother Juan (David) DeCastro y Torres.
