This is the December 1, 1793 death record of my wife's 7th great grandfather Jose Balentin de Olviares in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

This record indicates that he died at age 89 and that he leaves his wife Maria de Jesus Guajardo.

Through other records I have found out that the parents of Jose Balentin are Juan de Olivares and Maria Rita Vela.
