Notes: 236 - Pedro Peralta. On the 14th day of November in the year of the Lord 1787, I solemnly baptized an infant who was born the day before. He is the legitimate son of Christoval Peralta and Rosa Sabatel. I gave him the name Pedro. His godparents were Juan Esteban Cordoba and Agustina, a soldier and his wife from the Pima company. I advised them of their parentage and obligations. For this truth I sign on the said day, month, and year as above. = Fray Balthasar Carrillo (rubric)
*Note. Although the original says in literal translation " ... Juan Esteban Cordoba and Agustina, soldiers from the Pima company," it seems clear that Juan was the soldier and his wife was Agustina. As a couple they constituted a "soldier family." |
