Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the marriage of my 7th great grandparents Pedro Regalado Garcia and Josefa Reyes whom got married in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico back in August 17, 1716. This record indicates that their witnesses were the Captains Andres Gerra and Dn, Antonio Garcia. I still have to find out whom the mother of Pedro was and also whom the parents of Josefa were.

Note: Day and year is not mentioned, only that it has been previously mentioned and thus the record preceding this one indicated that it was august 17 of 1716. We can assume that they were married the same day as this couple.
