Notes: He and his wife were "todavĂ­a gentiles" and "recien agregados a Guevavi" at the time of their daughter, Lucia's baptism on 25 Mar 1751 (event #2488). When their son, Lorenzo, was baptized exactly one month later (event #2808), they were still considered "gentiles." However, his wife was fully "Christianized" by the time of their marriage on 31 May, 1751, (event #291) as she was baptized at that time and given the "Christian" name, Isabel . It is interesting to note that she is listed as the mother at her two children's baptisms simply as "Tuhia," which means "girl" or "maiden" in the Pima language, but he is listed as Juan Antonio Tonnoruucam on all three records.
