Note. This group consists of twenty-nine couples, seventeen single men, two single women, and one ten-year-old boy, plus the native governor of Calabazas, who was godfather for the alcalde, or mayor. Joseph Aan and his wife, Rosa, are listed twice. This makes a total of seventy-eight people who were baptized. If the governor also went to Calabazas with the group, it would mean that seventy -nine people, at the very least, were transferred to the new mission of Calabazas this day.
