I was chatting with a distant relative who we both share a common ancestor "Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)" of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico.

She just told me that her uncles told her about Patricio Madera:

"patricio madera fue firmante de la adhesion al federalismo en 1824"

What is the Adhesion Al Federalismo of 1824??

The way we are related is that my great grandfather Calixto Madera (1854 - 1923) had a half brother "Gabriel Madera" She is the great grand daughter of Gabriel Madera while I am the great grandson of Calixto Madera.

Gabriel Madera is the son of Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)/Maria Tomas Munoz (passed away in 1838 at age 40.

Calixto Madera is the son of Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)/Maria Dimas De La Paz (1819 - 1885) where Patricio remarried with Maria Dimas De La Paz in 1852.

I would translate "patricio madera fue firmante de la adhesion al federalismo en 1824" as "Patricio Madera was one of those who signed in favor of joining the Federal Republic in 1824".

After Independence in 1821, the Mexican Empire was formed. Then in 1823 the Federal Republic was proclaimed and formally established in 1824 when the Federal Constitution was signed.

A Federal Republic is a country formed by the union of autonomous states, like the USA or Mexico.

It seems like the local governments of towns signed in favor of joining the Federaton in 1823. Here are some examples of towns that now are in the Tlaquepaque Municipality (San Pedro, Toluquilla, San Martín, Zalatitlán and Santa Anita):
