Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the marriage dispensation extract, by Maria de La Luz Montejano Hilton, of my 8th great grandparents Diego Hinojosa Cantu and Josepha de la Garza Diaz whom got married in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico back in April 29,1694. Unfortunately I have not been able to locate the marriage record. All I have ot go by is the extract of their marriage dispensation listed bellow. I have also yet to track down the original dispensation. The father of Diego was Diego de Hinojosa and Maria Cantu. The parents of Josepha were Pedro de la Garza and Ana Diaz Molina.

  1. Dear Moises:
    I was looking at the list of children of Diego Hinojosa Cantu and Josepha de la Garza-Diaz. I looked at child #8, Juan Crisostomo Hinojosa, born 1707 and died
    1750. His wife is Margarita GONZALEZ-Ochoa AND sometimes listed as Maria
    Margarita Gonzalez-Ochoa.

    My question is do you have a list of their children? I believe that I am descendant of
    Margarita Gonzalez-Ochoa. Is it correct that her father is Jose Nicolas Gonzalez-
    Ochoa? I would appreciate it very much if you could send to me the names of their
    offspring.

      1. Yes, actually Cris Rendon did my family genealogy chart
        in 2012. I was just down in Texas and went to Rio Grande
        City to find lost relatives and passed through Mission, Tx.
        Next time I will stop by and say Hello. I am probably related to you, just haven’t figured out how we are connected. I have Garza’s, Saenz, Garcia’s, Hinojosa’s
        in my family tree.

          1. Dear Moises:

            I just looked at your 8th grandfather Diego Hinojosa Cantu
            and Josepha de la Garza-Diaz.
            Child #8 is Juan Crisostomo Hinojosa who married Maria
            Margarita Gonzalez (I am a direct descendant of Margarita
            Gonzalez, she is the daughter of Capitan Nicolas Gonzalez-
            Ochoa and Nicolasa Flores) Capitan Nicolas Gonzalez is the son of Sargento Mayor Diego Gonzalez and Maria Ochoa.

            Child #13 is Maria Gertrudis Hinojosa and she married on
            5 Oct 1740 at Boca de Leones, N.L. Mexico. She married
            Jose Miguel Saenz born 1721 and died 30 April 1791 in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico son of Diego Saenz and Teodora
            Garcia.

            On my chart #29 is Jose Gregorio Saenz born 1744; died 25 April 1804 in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico, son of (37)
            Jose Miguel Saenz and (38) Maria Gertrudis Hinojosa.
            He married on 18 July 1772 in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico
            (30) Maria Margarita Gonzalez died 30 January 1834 in
            Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico, daughter of (39) Jose Nicolas
            Gonzalez and (40) Ana Josefa Garcia.

            My chart #37 is Jose Miguel Saenz, born 1721; died 30
            April 1791 in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico, son of (43) Diego
            Saenz and (44) Teodora Garcia. He married on 5 Oct 1740
            In Boca de Leones, N.L. Mexico (38) Maria Gertrudis Hinojosa, daughter of (45) Capitan Diego HINOJOSA
            and (46) Josefa GARZA.

            These a just the connections I found just from your post
            on Diego Hinojosa Cantu and Josepha de la Garza-Diaz.

          2. One more note:
            My chart #19 is Jose Rafael GARZA, son of (23) Jose Marcelino GARZA and (24) Maria Francisca Saenz (she is a
            Gonzalez on her mother’s side). He married on 9 Dec 1819 in
            Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico (20) Maria Juana MORENO, christened 2 July 1795 in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico, daughter
            of (25) Jose Marcelo MORENO and (26) Maria Ignacia GARCIA.
            Children of Jose Rafael GARZA and Maria Juana MORENO:
            Child # 10 is Jose Ferman GARZA, christened 3 June 1838 in
            Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He married Maria de los Reyes
            SALAZAR, mother of Leocadia GARZA, born 1866 and she
            is my GREAT GRANDMOTHER. Leocadia GARZA born was in Roma, Texas and married Pablo GONZALEZ born in Rio Grande City, Texas. They were married on 25 March 1883
            and I have a photograph of them on their wedding day, she
            is in a beautiful wedding dress.

            Pablo GONZALEZ AND LEOCADIA GARZA are by
            GREAT GRANDFATHER AND GREAT GRANDMOTHER.

  2. Hi! I came across some of your pages and wow! I am just so amazed at all the research you have done. I’m wanting to purchase some of your books and I’m wondering which ones are the ones that are from your family line that still line up with your 8th great grandparents Diego Hinojosa Cantu and Josepha de la Garza Diaz since those are my 6th great grandparents I figured those line up with our same ancestors and would love to read on what your books say about our family from what side we relate to.
    Thank you for making these amazing pages and research. It’s wonderful to read and see all this history.
