Subject: another version of La Llorona

La Llorona is one Luisa Marquesa Del Llano, who bore children, one boy one girl to one Nuņo De Montesclaros. He tried to take the children with an order from the viceroy of New Spain (now Mexico) instead of turning them over she stabbed (not drowned) them.
My question is those involved were members of the nobility, early spanish settlers. Hasn't anyone tried to search for records (since they were nobles some mention of them should be available in Spanish archives) to at least verify whether these people existed. Also she was hanged for her crime, there should be records of her trial and excecution.
