This is the November 6, 1765 Death Record of Jose Pedro Martin Lopez de Jaen. He is my 7th great grandfather. The death record is a Church from Cerralvo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
He was married to Maria Gertrudis Salinas.
Just like back in 2012 when I originally posted this, I have not been able to find his parents. Since then I have found the parents of his wife Maria Gertrudis and they are Jose Gabriel Selvera Salinas and Maria Gregoria Tadea Reyes.
If you search online for Jose Martin and Maria Gertrudis you will very easily find the names of Martins’s parents. The only problem is that there is no citation as to where they got the information.
I assume that they got it from the book “Vecinos de Cerralvo 1630-1760” Pg. 60. Our Martin is listed as Pedro Martin Lopez de Jaen, his entry does not mention any parents and states that he was a vecino of Cadereyta.
Above his entry, there is another Predo Lopez de Jaen listed who married Maria Juana Benavides. This particular Pedro’s parents are listed as Felipe Lopez de Jaen and Luisa Rodriguez. I think people are assuming that it is the same person, but they are not since this couple had children during the same time that Martin and Gertrudis were having children.
In any case here is the transcription of his death record.

Moises I saw this post from the web, so I'm commenting here, I can't find it on the site from the inside….MarÃa Gertrudis Salinas is also a great grandmother for me, one generation down from you. I spent a lot of time on this particular person and wanted to share what I found. I believe I have the records for you, having exact same issues confirming…Although MarÃa Gregoria Tadea Reyes is wife of José Gavriel Selvera Salinas, I found that she was step-mother to one person in particular — Gertrudis — her mother was MarÃa Margarita de la Vela OrtÃz, who died very young. She was then raised by Gregoria. Over 200 people fell down that rabbit hole on Ancestry, this is why their system suggests they know the mother. But it isn't correct. I also had same issue with MartÃn de Jaen, I have his father as you indicated, but left the mother blank, realising many have Luisa RodrÃguez….if she was a RodrÃguez however she will be easily tracked, I moved onto other items with a note to myself to return….
As I indicated above. I have Maria Gertrudis as the daughter of Jose Gabriel Selvera Salinas and Maria Gregoria Tadea Reyes. I also have him married to Margarita Vela. I will review my information to see why I attached Gregoria as the mother and not Margarita.
