Notes: Inventario y aprecio de los bienes pertenecientes al General Gregorio Álvarez Tuñón y Quirós. AGN, Ramo de Tierras, Vol. 474, Exp. 2, Año 1728.

The sale of the estate of Don Gregrorio Álvarez Tuñón y Quirós required fifteen different auctions held at San José de Jamaica between June 15 and October 3, 1728, as follows:
1. San José de Jamaica, Saturday, June 15, 1728, (folio 107v), held in the morning but no bidders attended. The recorder was confused as to who the auctioneer was, calling him “Manuel de la Cruz, mulato slave.” There was a “Negro slave” named Lorenzo de la Cruz, but the mulato slave was Manuel de la Encarnación and he was very likely the auctioneer in this instance as he was in a majority of the other sales that were held.
2. San José de Jamaica, Saturday, June 15, 1728 (folio 108), held in the afternoon but no bidders attended. Again the recorder listed “Manuel de la Cruz” as the auctioneer, when it was most likely Manuel de la Encarnación.

7. San José de Jamaica, Friday, June 28, 1728, Manuel de la Encarnación auctioneer (folio 124-125).
