Translation: (Spanish) |
| Notes: On February 1, 1769, on the horse range, the enemy Indians killed three men from the place known as Santa Ana. They were Domingo Otero, who was married to María Josefa Mendoza, Indians of this country, and Ponciano, a single man. Burial was provided for these two on the second of February by Don Felipe Beldarrain, on his own authority, in the cemetery of the church of Santa María Magdalena, without the proper and customary attention to informing or asking permission from the minister, who did not learn about it until the fourth. Juan José Carrisoza, a single man, son of Luis Carrisoza and Lucia Gallegos, his legitimate wife, [was also killed]. They provided burial for his body in the same cemetery on the afternoon of the fifth of the said month, for which Francisco Bonilla, servant of Miguel Contreras, came to inform and ask permission – perhaps because the governor had not permitted it. I had given him orders to not permit the burial of any person without first advising me, to prevent the aforementioned problem and other similar liberties taken with such little regard for the Ministers of God, for everything sacred, and for the dead, of which we have many. For all of this, I, the undersigned Minister of His Majesty in the said mission, sign on the sixth of the above mentioned month and year in this [Mission] of San Ignacio. Diego Martín García. |
