Laredo 1757 Revista by Cuervo de Tienda
Last Names of Nuevo Leon

Our Genealogy Research can lead us in many directions and also lead us to find many documents. One of those documents that I came across was the 1757 Census of La Villa de Laredo “1757 Revista de Pobladores” conducted by Captain Jose Tienda de Cuervo of La Villa de Laredo present-day Laredo, Texas.

In total the document contains 34 pages but I only extracted the names of the people residing in Laredo in 1757.

It is interesting to note that at the end it is mentioned that there are 11 families and I assume that the single households were not included. If you would like to see or read the whole document visit: The 1757 General Visit of Laredo.

List of people mentioned in the Laredo 1757 census:

    1. Capitan Don Thomas Sanchez casado con Dona Catharina de Uribe nueve hijos Setenta caballos diez Burros Beinte Burras todas Armas Siete Sirvientes e uno casado y tiene una hija
    2. Juan Garcia Saldivar casado con Dona Catharina de las Casas todas armas cinco caballos dos Sirvientes
