I certify that in the first Book of Baptisms of the said Mission on the off side of page ninety-six is found a record of the following contents:
On the seventh of July of the year one thousand, seven hundred and thirty-six in the Church of San Ignacio of Cuquiárachi with license from its own parish priest, I solemnly baptized and anointed with holy oil Juan Bautista, legitimate son of Captain Don Juan Bautista de Anza, and of Doña Maria Rosa Bezerra Nieto. His Godfather was Don Pedro Felipe de Anza, in testimony of which I signed = The Jesuit Carlos de Roxas, Minister of Doctrine for His Majesty.
The same said record is faithfully copied from the cited book to which I refer, and for which I testified and composed in place of it the present (document), executed by me at the request of Doña Ana Maria Perez Serrano, widow of Colonel Don Juan Bautista de Anza in this Presidio of Fronteras on the eighth of March of (the year) one thousand, seven hundred and eighty-nine.
