Notes: 288 - Estevan Mallen, Apache adult. In the year of the Lord 1807, I, Fray Narciso Gutiérrez, presbyter apostolic minister for His Majesty in this mission of Tumacácori, today, May 4th, solemnly baptized an adult Indian of the Apache nation, who came from the gentility, and is about twelve or thirteen years of age. He was first instructed in the Christian doctrine and, at his request, I gave him the name Estevan. His godparents were Ramon Rios who is married to Gertrudis Borboa and they live together here in this mission; and Manuela Gonzáles, the widow of Lucas Miranda and a resident of the presidio of Tubac. I advised them of their spiritual parentage and other obligations, and for this truth I signed on the said day, month, and year as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez (rubric), minister for His Majesty at Tumacácori. |
