This is the November 15, 1802, Death Record of Jose Juan Pantaleon Izaguirre who died in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He is my 7th great-grandfather.
I have an issue with this record, let me explain why. I first came across Jose Juan Pantaleon's death date on the book "Mier Church Death Records 1767-1903 Book 2 Her-Z" Pg. 241.
Here is a cut out of the book.
Looks great, I found the record and you can see it above this post. The issue that I have is that the record states that the record is for Juan de Leon who was the widow of Gertrudis Vela.
I think that whomever extracted the record assumed that it was for Juan Pantaleon Isaguirre. Are they wrong? Did the priest make a mistake and wrote de Leon instead of Pantaleon.
Juan Pantaleon was indeed married to a Gertrudis Vela who died August 1, 1789.
For now, I left the date on my database as belonging to Juan Pantaleon but made a note that the record may not belong to him. Further research needs to be done.
