The following is the 1721 marriage of my 8th great grandparents Juan Garcia de Pruneda and Maria Gertrudis Garcia Guerra. They married back in February 2, 1721 in what is now Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Garmendia Leal and Crispin Rendon have Identified the parents of Juan Garcia de Pruneda as Luis Garcia Pruneda and Juana de Leon. The parents of Maria Gertrudis Garcia are Antonio Garcia de Sosa and Nicolasa de la Garza Falcon. I hope this post helps you out in your research.

Well, there is a problem between this and Joaquin’s death record which you posted, The death records says he died in 1771 and was 70 years old, so born in 1701 but his mother did not marry until 1721? I think there is a possibility that Joaquin’s father is the Juan that is this Juans’ grandfather Juan (born around 1668 ?) – that would be more in line with timing. Have you seen this problem ?
After looking at all my sources, I got the names of the parents from Crispin Rendon. Unfortunately, I don’t know what sources he used. Garmendia Leal, in his book Alonso de Leon Sus Descendientes (Monterrey, N.L. Mexico, Guillermo Garmendia Leal, July 1993), University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg, Texas., Part 2 Pg. 7 states that Juan Garcia de Pruneda and Maria Gertrudis Garcia had a son named Joaquin Garcia (unfortunately we don’t know if it is the same one). Another issue is that when I first transcribed the record the age looked like 70 to me, but if you look at it carefully it could be 50 or 60 also. As of today, I flagged Joaquin Garcia with a note to remind me that I need proof of who his parents are.
