Notes: A Basque and longtime resident of the San Luis Valley, he was Deputy Justicia Mayor for that district since the early 1730's. Because he sided with the Jesuit Fathers in protesting the appointment of Luis Oacpicagigua as Capitán General of all Pima auxiliaries in the Pimería Alta, however, Governor Ortiz Parrilla fired him and appointed Ignacio Romero in his place. His location at the time of the 1751 uprising is not certain, but he was probably with the refugees in their headlong rush to Terrenate. |
