Velasco family

In addition to Luis de Velasco (q.v.), this family had other deaf members: Francisco (fl. 1540?), who died while still a child; Pedro (1540?-1572); Geronimo (1588-?); Anna (1589-?), Catalina (16th century) and Bernardina (16th century). Francisco and Pedro were students of Pedro Ponce de Leon (q.v.); Ponce de Leon supposedly also taught Anna and Catalina to the point where both could and did become nuns.
