This post contains image and transcription of the 1762 death record of my 8th great grandfather Juan Diego Gonzalez.
The document is very interesting since right off you notice that it has more writing than the other entries on the same page. The document indicates that he left several hundred sheep and goats to the church's various works.
The document also indicates that he lived at Santa Theresa de las Ygueras del Valle del Carrizal present day Higueras, Nuevo Leon. This document also states that Diego was married to Ycasia Flores, I am a descendant from his first wife Anna Maria de Trevino. In many other records we find his name as Juan Diego Gonzalez.
From the marriage record dated the 9th of August 1716 to Anna Maria de Treviño we know that the parents of Juan Diego Gonzalez are Diego Gonzalez de Ochoa and Maria Anastasia de Treviño.

I can help with your “[?]”, which I believe is an abbreviation for “reales”. I think it should read “las mandas forsosas a quatro reales a cada una”. I came across a similar phrase for one of my ancestors, except that “reales” was spelled out. (My ancestor only gave 2 reales, and left 50 cabras, so he wasn’t as wealthy as Don Diego!)
You are absolutely right, I came across this abbreviation in another document also. Thanks for your help.
