This is the 1697 church death record of my 9th great grandfather Miguel de la Garza Falcon, he died in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. He died on October 28, 1697.
This record only mentions that he was a widow but does not provide any additional information as to whom his wife was or whom his parents were. fortunate for us other researchers have already done the research and have identified this information.
Tomas Mendirichaga the author of Origen de los appellidos Garza y Trevino en Nuevo Leon, on page 28 mentions Miguel was married to Gertrudis de Renteria the daughter of Sargento Mayor Jacinto Garcia de Sepilveda and Clara de Renteria. He also mentions that he had the following children: Jacinto, Juana, Julian, Leonor, Clara Micarla, Antonio, Miguel, Maria , Beatriz, Felix, Juan, Pablo and Manuel. He references his will made on may 8, 1694.
His parents were Blas de la Garza and Beatriz Gonzalez Hidalgo.
