Biography
edit
Pedro Ruiz de Velasco was born in the Mexican Federal District and married Susana Esperanza Zenteno August 2, 1945. His children included Veronica Ruiz de Velasco, an important Mexican neo-figurative artist. His sisters were Teófila Ruiz de Velasco de la Madrid, María de Lourdes Ruiz de Velasco de la Madrid, Caridad Ruiz de Velasco de la Madrid, Beatriz Ruiz de Velasco de la Madrid, & Guadalupe Lucía Beatriz Ruiz de Velasco y la Madrid. His brothers were Felipe Salvador Ruiz de Velasco de la Madrid and Pedro Tomás Ruiz de Velasco de la Madrid. [1]
Guadalupe Lucía Beatriz Ruiz de Velasco y Lamadrid (June 26, 1912 – May 15, 1999) was the sixth daughter of Felipe Ruiz de Velasco and Beatriz de Lamadrid. Her parents were family with Nicolás Bravo from Chilpancingo. Her brother was Pedro Thomas Ruiz de Velasco de la Madrid (April 1, 1915 – August 18, 1996), seventh son. Both were Mexican. Guadalupe was the holder of several historical documents from Mexico including the original Acta de Independencia del Imperio Mexicano de 1821, until part of her family took it away from her and made them theirs.
Guadalupe Lucía Beatriz Ruiz de Velasco y Lamadrid was born in the Mexican Federal District and married Gral. Pedro Rubin Eugui (whose ancestors go back to the aztec emperor Montezuma II) on June 11th, 1946. Her only child is the multilingual and psychotherapist Maria Guadalupe Eugenia Rubin Ruiz de Velasco. Her granddaughters are two prominent philosophers and activists Lucia Agraz Rubin and Estefanía Agraz Rubin, both great-granddaughters of Juan Salvador Agraz y Ramírez de Prado.
The Ruiz de Velasco family were the original owners for 128 years of the Acta de Independencia del Imperio Mexicano de 1821. This document was passed down through generations from Nicolás Bravo. On August 22, 1987, it was taken away from Guadalupe and was given as a gift to Mexico, as years ago Pedro and Susana took away from Guadalupe and her sisters the lands of Ocotito in Tierra Caliente, Guerrero, Felipe's Ruiz de Velasco's inheritance, and made themselves the only owners of the sisters' inheritance, leaving them with nothing.
Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu accepted this gift and secured this historical document in the Museo Historico de Acapulco Fuerte de San Diego in Acapulco in the State of Guerrero.
Pedro Ruiz de Velasco died in México D.F. at the age of 81.
