| Notes: He was mador at Suamca at least from 1753 through 1758. Prior to that he was fiscal and before that he was paje. He took over the job of fiscal in December of 1746, after Francisco Xavier Gil Robles, and was paje at least as early as November 1741 and he obtained the fiscal job at least as early as December 1746, when Francisco, who had been the fiscal became fiscal mayor/gobernador. Santiago became Mador after Manuel. In his second marriage, he and Manuel were probably married to sisters. At the time of Santiago's second marriage in 1749 (at which Manuel was witness) he was still fiscal and Manuel was still the mador. He made the following statement after the Pima uprising of November, 1751: "The leader of the uprising was Luis of Sáric, Captain General of everything. I do not know what his motive was for rebelling. I have heard it said that he rebelled because Father Keller chastised him, but I do not believe it. It was said by his relatives that when Father Keller chastised him he had already been planning his rebellion. More than a year before when the corn was still short he had been going around promoting the uprising. When he went to see Father Keller and the Father chastised him, he was only looking for excuses, to see if the Father would give him any reason to start the rebellion. News of the insurrection reached Suamca at night and although some went to join the rebels, most of the people stayed on at Suamca until Father Keller went to Terrenate. Those, with their governors, then went to the mountain where they stayed without joining the rebels, even though they were asked to unite with them, until after the tumult had died down. Then they returned to the village." Santa María Suamca, October 18, 1754, AGI, Guadalajara 419, 3m-12, pages 21-22 |
