Last Names of Nuevo Leon

The following is the image and transcription of the 1672 death record of my 11th great grandfather Bartholome Gonzalez. The following document indicates that he did not make will and that he was buried “de limosna”  charity. I am guessing he was poor. Bartholome had three wives and I am a descendant from him and Isabel Gomez de Esquivel. If anyone knows whom their parents are please let me know. Almost forgot this document also indicates that he was from Moron, Spain.

  1. There are two cities named Morón. The one I researched some 10-15 years ago was Moron de la Frontera near Sevilla, in Andalucia. But I am beginning to believe it has to be Morón de Almazan near Soria, in Castilla la Vieja. Any thoughts? Yes I am a direct descendant of his and Isavel Gomez de Esquivel Dominguez via Capt. Andres Gonzalez their 1st son together. I too have seen the surname Olivares attached to Bartolome in other publications. Why?
