Diego de Morilla was present at the 1540 muster as a horseman in Diego López's company. It may be that the spelling of Morilla was an error on the muster and if so, then possibly Diego de Morillo mentioned in other documents is the actual expeditionary. This Morillo might also have had a connection with expeditionary Gerónimo Ramos, who also participated in the aborted Junco expedition to Cartagena. If correct, then Diego was a native of Sevilla (Sevilla province) and the son of Francisco Lucero and Beatriz Hernández. Then there is the Diego de la Morilla of the documents who is grouped with other known expeditionaries.
