This is the May 3, 1673 death record of Juan de la Garza, my 8th great-grandfather, who died in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
His death record indicates that he was married to Margarita de Montemayor. She was the daughter of Miguel de Montemayor and Monica Rodriguez.
The parents of Juan where Blas de la Garza and Beatriz Gonzalez Hidalgo.
On the top of this page is the first part of the death record and here below is the second part to it.
Below is the transcription of the death record. There were some words that I could not make out and are noted in brackets.

Juan is my 9th great uncle. Roger Montemayor
Awesome, Thanks for letting me know.
I believe Blas De La Garza Montemayor was my 7th great grandfather
That is awesome.
Juan de la Garza y Arcon
10th great-uncle
Why Arcon, I have not found his name with Arcon anywhere?
Su nombre completo es Juan de la Garza Falcón González Hidalgo. Hijo de Blas de la Garza Falcón y Treviño y Beatriz González Hidalgo Navarro. Nieto de Marcos Alonso de la Garza y Arcón.
Moises,
First, your brackets: …del Señor Gobernador… & …de la Cruz.
Second: Your transcriptionrefers to “Lázaro” instead of “Juan”
Sorry, Moises, it’s where you say “…the parents of Lázaro…” where it should say “…Juan…”.
I just fixed it. No idea what I was thinking of. Thanks for the heads up.
Just fixed it, thanks.
Hello Moises! Juan DE LA GARZA and Margarita DE MONTEMAYOR are 10th great-grandparents for my husband Jose. Thank you for sharing!
He’s my 7th Gr granduncle.
Awesome.
