There is a "Rancho El Muerto" in the far eastern part of Coahuila, the state that borders Zacatecas on its northern border. This municipality is right below Monterrey in Nuevo Leon, but is in Coahuila State now. Could this have been part of Zacatecas at one time or did the priest just neglect to state in which state his "Rancho Del Muerto" was located?

Rancho del Muerto in Mexico.
One is in Chihuahua. The other is in Aguascalientes. There is a
place on modern maps in the municipality of Rincon de Romos called
Puerta del Muerto, which may be it and the other is a place just near
Aguascalientes (the city) called Cerro del Muerto.
Given the proximity of Tlaltenango to Aguascalientes, that is
probably where you should search. There is someone who refers to el
Rancho del Muerto in their geneaology as well:

he is listed as being from "Rancho del Muerto". (Hmmm I wonder how
that rancho was named). Has anyone encountered ancestors from this
rancho? I am looking for other possible connections...especially,
since many of the families in these ranchos were related.
