Notes: In the Real de Minas of Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Nacosari on the first day of the month of June of 1722, before the Lord Licenciate Don Josef del Hierro, priest for His Majesty, vicar, and ecclesiastic judge of the said real and its jurisdiction, the following was presented:
Martín de Lisondo, a coyote, native of the Real of San Juan Bautista in the Province of Sonora and resident of the mines of the above mentioned Real, employee of Juan Antonio Pacho, resident of this jurisdiction, appears before Your Honor in the right and proper form as requested by me, and say that I wish to justly take upon myself the holy state of matrimony according to our holy mother church, with Antonia de Luque, a coyote, native of this jurisdiction of Nacosari, illegitimate daughter of the late Josef de Luque, a Spaniard, and Juana de Robles, an Indian who is now married. To receive the said marriage, Your Honor has justly instructed us to provide information that we are single and free of any impediment and to complete all the judicial procedures mandated by the Holy Council of Trent. We will then be married and veiled in the order of our holy mother church and in so doing will receive all the blessings and mercy of the same.
We ask and supplicate Your Honor to provide that which we desire in the service of God, our Lord, to place us in this state of grace.
