Notes: 225 - Thomas Castro and Bernarda Arcayos. In the year of the Lord 1812 on the 13th day of September, the three banns prescribed by the Holy Council of Trent on three consecutive feast days having solemnly preceded; the first on September 8th, the nativity of Our Lady; the second on the 10th; and the third on the 13th, a Sunday, with no canonical impediment having arisen, I, Fray Narciso Gutiérrez, Father Apostolic Minister for His Majesty of this mission of Tumacácori, in the church asked José Thomas Castro, an Indian of the Yuma nation who received his catechism in this village, and Bernarda Arcayos of the Apache nation, if they wanted to be joined in matrimony, and having their consent by present church policy for performing true marriage, I solemnly joined them on the said day in the afternoon and veiled them on the 14th of the same month. Present and well-known witnesses were José Manuel carrillo, married to Clara Ximénez; Francisco Pamplona, married to Loreta Zúñiga; and José Hortíz, all Indians of this mission, and for this truth I signed on the said day, month, and year as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez (rubric), Minister for His Majesty at Tumacori (sic.) |
