		Lugo soon died, but his lieutenant Gonzalo Ximenes de Quesada persevered, and reached the plateau, where he found the numerous tribes of the Chibcha established in formal settlements, and rich in gold and in emeralds obtained from the country of the Musos where they are still obtained.
		By August, 1538, Cundinamarca (by which name the Chibcha range is mostly known) was occupied by Quesada after considerable warfare with the natives, and the city of Santa Fé de Bogotá; was founded as capital of the "Kingdom of New Granada", which continued the official designation of Colombia until its independence was achieved.
		Ambrosius Dalfinger (1529-32) reached Tamalameque and, in 1538, when Quesada was beginning to organize his recent conquest at Bogotá;, he was surprised by the arrival of a force from Venezuela commanded by the German leader Nicolas Federmann.

		This rather evaded the question whether confiscation was self-acting, but the Fe de confiscacion, given by the notary to the judge of confiscations, formally asserts that the inquisitors and Ordinary had confiscated the property to the king's treasury and by the sentence had applied it to his receiver in his name.
		The conditions thus created are impressively reflected in the records of Xeres de la Frontera, where the municipal taxes were largely farmed to Conversos who had fled; the public funds had been in their hands and they were naturally in debt to the town as well as to churches and private persons.
		In 1510, Pedro de Espinosa of Baza represented to Ferdinand that, when Baza was recovered from the Moors (December 4, 1489) he married Aldonza Rodríguez, niece and adopted daughter of the esquire Lázaro de Avila and Catalina Ximenes and, on Lazaro's death, they went to live with Catalina.

		Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Among the early explorers of the New World was Gonzalo Jimnez de Quesada, conquistador of New Granada (Colombia) and founder of the city of Bogot.

		Although the "legal" right to a coat of arms lies with direct descendents of the granted family, we can still enjoy the romance and novelty that is associated with the Family Crest that belongs to your family name.
