This is the August 7, 1690 death record of Maria Mayor de Renteria, my 9th great grandmother, who died in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
She was married to Alonzo de Trevino. From other sources we know that her parents are Gonzalo Fernandez de Castro and Maria Rodriguez. She adopted the last name of her paternal grandmother.
As you can see this record is badly damaged and the date can not be verified but it is in the middle of chronological dates and helped locate the record. Maybe if we saw the original record we could really see the date.
I am a descendant of her through two of her daughters; Maria de Trevino Renteria and Clara de Trevino Renteria.
Below is the best that I could do to transcribe the damaged record.

She was my 8th great grandmother. I have just the same information you have. I have her grandmother’s parents as Captain Diego Rodriguez and Sebastiana Treviño Quintanilla.
Thank you prima for letting me know.
Regarding Maria Mayor de Renteria, your 9th great-grandmother. Her sister Clara de Renteria is my 9th great-grandmother, she married Jacinto Garcia de Sepulveda. I’m new at this DNA matching but I’m beginning to believe that we are all connected.
We Are Cousins! Yup we are all related within 5 to 8 generations. That is if you have deep roots in South Texas or Northeastern Mexico.
She is my 8th great grandmother and another of Alonso’s wives, Anastacia Gonzalez Hidalgo Navarro is my 9th great grandmother.
Awesome, thanks for letting me know.
Maria Mayor is the sister of Pedro de la Garza [half], Clara de RenterÃa and Diego Fernández de Castro. Diego Fernandez de Castro is my 9th great grandfather. He was married to MarÃa de la Cerda aka de la Cerda Porcallo. She is the daughter of Bernardo de los Santos Coy and Inés de la Cerda. Enos is Mayor’s 9th great grand nephew. That’s what I have in my family tree.
Thank you primo for letting me know.
