Last Names of Nuevo Leon

This is the 1694 death record of my wife’s 8th great grandfather of in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This document indicates that he was a captain and that he was married to Ysabel Garza. She is descendant of his through their son Joseph Villarreal.

From other records and sources we know that the parents of Bernabe Villarreal are Diego Villarreal and Beatriz Casas. The parents of his wife Ysabel Garza are Francisco de la Garza and Juana Garcia.
