This is the May 27, 1781 baptism record of Maria Antonia Pena, my 5th great grandmother, who was baptized in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
The parents of Maria Antonia are Jose Santiago Pena and Maria Francisca Javiera Gonzalez. She grows up to marry Jose Maria de la Pena the son of Francisco Javier Peña and Maria. I have yet to discover the last name of his mother.
Her baptism states that she was born on the 11th of May 1781 in rancho Los Arrieros.
Below is the transcript of the above baptism record.

She is not my direct line, but I descend from her brother Jose De Los Santos Pena and Ana Maria Hinojosa, through their daughter Maria De Los Santos Pena and Rafael Antonio de Jesus Guerra. (These are Parents of Maria Antonia Guerra B.1836 that married as 2nd wife to Jose Manuel Guerra son of Luciano Guerra) Her daughter Crisanta Guerra married Cayetano Barrera I. They had Romula Barrera that married Hilario Olivares. They were parents of Beatriz Olivares that married Victoriano Alvarado, my parents.
