Notes:  Padre Clemente was born in a villa in Pancorro, Spain.  He is described as more than two varas (6 feet) tall with a ruddy face and chestnut hair.  He took the Franciscan habit in Vitoria and enlisted in the Mission of 1769, five years later while a deacon in Santander.  He was the youngest missionary to serve at Tumacácori, at 27 years of age.  He was at Tumacacori by November, 1772.  He refurbished the small Jesuit church with Bartolome Ximeno.  They built a wall around the entire complex.  He roofed the Calabazas church and put a consecrated cemetery into service there.  He left Tumacácori at age thirty with broken health early in 1775 for the College of Querétaro.  He stayed there for fifteen or sixteen years and then dropped from the rolls.
