| Notes: "Christoval de Ssonoitac. On March 4, [1753] I solemnly baptized Xtoval, infant son of Juanico Vigsan and ignacia from the village of Ssonoitac. Godparents were Xtoval Vivisa and Ana María Actuhuta. = IHS Francisco Pauer = Juan Nentvig, Minister of Doctrine for His Majesty"..........
This was the first baptism recorded at Guevavi after the Pima uprising. It was also recorded in the Suamca book, but baptisms there began on January 21, 1753. Cristóbal Vigsan's baptism is recorded at Suamca as follows.............
"Christoval. On March 4 [1753] I solemnly baptized Christoval, infant son of Juanico Vigsan of Ssonoitac and Ignacia Mguitoac, his wife. Godparents were Xhristoval Vivisal and Ana María Achihuta. = Juan Nentvig"............
Padre Pauer seems to have been the one that recorded both entries. He signed the Guevavi entry but Padre Nentvig signed them both. The Pima uprising began on November 21, 1751. Padre Pauer recorded the following before the Guevavi entry of March 4, 1753, and after the last baptism recorded on October 21, 1751 - one year, three months and 13 days after the uprising............
"On this day (November 21, 1751) this Pima nation rose up and rebelled. For this cause it has been without a minister until the year 1753, in which year they re-established their village and humbled themselves in peace. For this truth I sign - Francisco Pauer, Minister of Doctrine for His Magesty." |
