I am trying to identify some members of the Ruis de Esparza family.

I am trying to identify some members of the Ruis de Esparza family.

Nicolas Ruis de Esparza and Antonia Garcia de Naba were the parents of Josepha Ruis de Esparza according to the matrimonial information for 1715/18 (image 24). Question: was he also known as Nicolas Salado?

Capn. Lope Ruis de Esparza and Dona Luiza de la Ana Ponce de Leon were the parents of Lorenzo Ruis de Esparza according to the matrimonial information for 1710 (image 88). If I read the document correctly, Lorenzo was 40 years old, and thus born about 1670 (or perhaps a little later if his age is not correct). Question: was this Lope the Lope Ruis de Esparza born in 1655? I do not find a marriage for him.

Thanks for the help.
