Birth Record:    Born circa 1685, in Monterrey.

Death Record:    Unknown

Life Facts:      His parents were "Alferes" Nicolas de Quintanilla
                 (died 7 Feb. 1689) and Beatris Fernandez. Beatris
                 died some time prior to her husband. Interestingly
                 beatris' mother was Beatris Gonzales - the sister
                 of Leonor de la Garza, the martriarch of the Serna
                 y Alarcon clan of Monterrey. 

                 Nicolas  was granted a Dispensation to marry Maria
                 de la Serna (#1773) on 11 December 1712. They most 
                 probably married shortly after that date.

                 I have no record of any children.
