Joseph Agustín de Campos
Misionero (IHS)

Residence: San Ignacio

Race or Tribe:  Español

Notes:  Padre Campos was born about 1669 in Sijena, province of Huesca, Spain. He became a Jesuit at 15 and sailed for the New World at 23.  He began his ministry at San Ignacio in 1693 at age 24.  He buried Father Kino when he was 42.  He ministered at Guevavi from San Ignacio.  Between 1716 and 1720 he baptized 1,004 souls.  He left San Ignacio on April 9, 1722 and travelled to Mexico City, returning on May 24, 1723.  He was removed from San Ignacio by his superiors in 1736.  Father Campos died July 1, 1737 at the Jesuit College in Chihuahua.  He kept the Pimas in contact with Christianity after Kino's death with yearly expeditions to the west and north.  He may have been the first to record the name of Tubac in 1726 when he recorded the baptism of a baby at the rancheria.  He seemed to have travelled even more than Father Kino.
