Event: Baptism Event Date: 10/23/1799 Event Place: Tumacácori
Notes: 2009. María Loreto Madorran, Yuma adult. On October 23rd in the year of the Lord 1799, I, Fray Narciso Gutiérrez, Presbyter Apostolic Minister of His Majesty of this mission of San Joseph de Tumacácori, solemnly baptized and anointed with holy oils (after having instructed her in the Christian doctrine and prayers of the church) an adult who was brought from the gentility, who, according to what was told to me, was found among the Papago gentiles who had captured her among the Cocomaricopas but claim that she is [from a tribe] further above. But I believe she is a Yuma [Indian] from her form of speech. Her age is about twenty-four years. I gave her the name of María Loreto and the surname of Madorran. Her godparents at the solemn baptism were Don Nicolás de la Herran and Doña María Loreto Marquez, whom I advised of their relationship and other obligations that they had contracted, and for this truth I signed on the said day, month, and year as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez (rubric), Presbyter Apostolic Minister for His Majesty
