31. House of Alonso Soltero, conquistador, resident of Los Ángeles. He came with Cortés. Juan Alonso — grandson. Nicolás de Castañeda — grandson. Melchor de Castañeda — grandson. Gaspar Hurtado — grandson. Domingo de Artasa. Through his wife — grandson. Diego Pérez Granillo. Through his wife — grandson. Francisco Soltero — grandson. Francisco de Salas. Through his wife — grandson. They are all grandsons of the conquistador; thus, he had many children, and [some of those listed were] married to daughters of Leonor Soltero, legitimate daughter of the conquistador, who was married and had many Indians in encomienda.

The complete family entry spans two pages. Dashes represent the table’s dotted leaders. “Through his wife” preserves the relationships by marriage. The bracketed English phrase clarifies the paragraph’s compressed syntax. “Married, with many Indians in encomienda” describes marriage and an encomienda separately.

En 30 dias de abril de 1571 a[ño]s. Y bautize yo el cura Reyes a Melchior, hijo de Ju[an] de Castañeda y de su mujer Leonor Soltero. Fueron padrinos Pero [Díez?] de Aguilar y su [yja?] Maria de Aguilar, y por verdad lo firme. [Firma: nombre no resuelto] de los Reyes. [Anotación posterior: Castañeda.]

English translation

On 30 April 1571. And I, the parish priest Reyes, baptized Melchior, son of Juan de Castañeda and his wife Leonor Soltero. The godparents were Pero [Díez?] de Aguilar and his [daughter?] Maria de Aguilar, and in testimony of its truth I signed it. [Signature: given name not resolved] de los Reyes. [Later annotation: Castañeda.]

The date and parents are clear. The male sponsor’s second name, the word before María, and the priest’s signed given name remain uncertain. “Yja” may mean hija, daughter; that reading is bracketed. This records baptism, not a separate birth date.

English translation

[Margin: Antonio de Sylva with Gregoria Ruiz.] On 8 November 1688, I, Doctor Don Manuel Muñoz de Ahumada, parish priest of this Holy Church, married by words of present consent that constituted a lawful marriage Antonio de Sylva, widower of Francisca de Egea, native and resident of this city, with Gregoria Ruiz, native and resident of the same, legitimate daughter of Juan Ruiz and Josepha de Morales. The witnesses were Pedro Gonzales and Antonio Muñoz [final words not resolved]. [Signature:] Doctor Don Manuel Muñoz de Ahumada.

The original names both witnesses. A few words at the inner edge after their names remain unresolved; the date, spouses, parents, prior wife and priest are readable. Brackets mark expansions and the supplied conjunction in the year.

[Escrivióse] y no se le dio boleta. [Firma:] B[achille]r [Juan?] Roxas y [Vara?] de Lama.

English translation

[Margin: Antonio de Silba with Gregoria Ruiz.] On 17 February 1692, with permission of Doctor Don Ignacio Díez de la Barrera, I gave the Church’s nuptial blessings here in Santa Vera Cruz to Antonio de Silba and Gregoria Ruiz, who were shown to be married according to the order of our Holy Mother Church, by certification of Doctor Don Manuel Muños de Ahumada, parish priest of the Sagrario of the Holy Cathedral Church. [It was entered in the register,] and no certificate was issued. [Signature:] Bachelor [Juan?] Roxas y [Vara?] de Lama.

The repeated name in adjoining entries and his documented service at Santa Veracruz identify the authorizing priest as Ignacio Díez de la Barrera. The officiant’s signature is a separate name and retains two uncertain readings. Boleta means a certificate or written slip; the closing note concerns its issue. This records nuptial blessings for an already-married couple.

Antonio de Silba, hijo de Salvador, natural de Querétaro, de veinte y ocho años, buen cuerpo, carirredondo, color trigueño, ojos grandes, nariz afilada. Gregoria Ruis, mujer del susodicho, hija de Juan, natural de México, de veinte y dos años, buen cuerpo, cara abultada y picada de viruelas. Getrudes de Silba, hija de los susodichos, natural de México, de tres años, carirredonda, ojos grandes y nariz chica. En primero de septiembre del año de noventa y tres recibió esta familia por mano del dicho señor tesorero trescientos pesos que el superior gobierno le manda dar de ayuda de costa para aviarse de lo necesario para el viaje.

English translation

Antonio de Silba, son of Salvador, a native of Querétaro, twenty-eight years old, of good build, round-faced, with a wheat-colored complexion, large eyes, and a pointed nose. Gregoria Ruis, wife of the aforesaid man, daughter of Juan, a native of Mexico City, twenty-two years old, of good build, with a full face marked by smallpox. Getrudes de Silba, daughter of the aforesaid couple, a native of Mexico City, three years old, round-faced, with large eyes and a small nose. On the first of September of the year ninety-three [1693], this family received, from the hand of the said lord treasurer, three hundred pesos that the superior government ordered paid to them as a contribution toward expenses, to equip themselves with what was necessary for the journey.

The Spanish is a reading transcription with abbreviations expanded and punctuation and ordinary spelling modernized; personal names retain the manuscript forms Silba, Ruis, and Getrudes. Getrudes is the record’s spelling of Gertrudis. “México” in these native-place descriptions is translated as Mexico City, rather than the modern nation. The complexion term trigueño is rendered literally as wheat-colored. The transcription covers the entire Silva–Ruiz household and its payment entry, not the neighboring households. The manuscript gives Antonio’s age as twenty-eight; Twitchell’s later English version prints twenty.

The preceding entries establish January 1710. The godparents are Pedro Asencio Lopez and Ygnacia de Ortega; brackets supply the difficult name readings. Abbreviations are expanded in brackets, including those in the signature.

The signature identifies Fray Andres de Zevallos, also named in a published abstract of an Albuquerque marriage later in 1728.

I, Salvador Manuel Gurule, resident of Las Huertas, a Spaniard and legitimate son of Antonio Gurule and Dionicia Lucero, appear before Your Reverence in the manner best permitted by law and most appropriate to my case. I state that I have arranged to contract marriage, according to the order of our Holy Mother Church, with Maria Gertrudis Montaño, a Spaniard and legitimate daughter of Juan Jose Montaño and Maria Dolores Baca, likewise residents of Las Huertas. I therefore ask Your Reverence to receive evidence of our freedom to marry and unmarried status, which I offer to give in due legal form, so that, after the other inquiries required by the Holy Council of Trent, this intention may take effect. Accordingly, I ask and beg Your Reverence to order this, by which I shall receive favor and grace. I swear that this petition is not made maliciously and, as necessary, etc. Salvador Manuel Gurule. Mission of San Felipe, May 3, 1802. [Margin: Order admitting the petition.] Having considered the foregoing petition, I declared it duly presented and order these parties to appear before Don Antonio [Estanislao?] Ruiz, public notary of this jurisdiction, to whom they shall give the evidence offered. When the inquiries are concluded, I shall consider their results and determine the appropriate course in accordance with [unclear wording]. Thus I ordered, directed and signed, as the said minister, to which I attest. Friar Jose Rubí, parish priest. [Margin: Declaration of the prospective husband.] On the said day, month and year, Salvador Manuel Gurule, the prospective husband, appeared before me, the notary Don Antonio [Estanislao?] Ruiz. I administered an oath, which he took by God Our Lord and the sign of the Holy Cross, promising under that obligation to tell the truth to the best of his knowledge. Asked whether, of his own free and spontaneous will, he wished to marry Maria Gertrudis Montaño, he answered yes. Asked whether he knew her to be related to him within any degree prohibited by law, he answered no. Asked whether he had given a promise of marriage or any pledge to another person, or made a vow of chastity or religion, he answered no. Asked whether he acknowledged himself to be a parishioner of the mission of San Felipe, he answered yes, and that this was the truth under the oath he had taken. He affirmed and ratified this declaration once, twice and [three times]. He did not sign because he did not know how. He declared himself to be [the statement continues beyond the visible text].

The repeated signatures on this page identify the priest as Fray Geronimo Riega.
