Notes:
Justa Rufina Ledo, párvula de razón
En este pueblo de San Diego del Pitiqui en veinte y uno de Julio de mil setcientos ochenta y uno, Yo, Fray Pedro Font, Ministro de dicho pueblo, bautizé solemnemente a una niña nacida día diez y nueve de dicho mes por la tarde, a la cual puse por nombre Justa Rufina, hija legítima de Señor Agustín Ledo y Señora Susana Burques, ambos españoles, o de razón, o reputados por tales, y vecinos de este pueblo. Nota: que aunque esta criatura, nació a los cinco meses de haverse casado sus padres. Estos la reconocen por legítima y lo es porque fue hija natural de ellos antes de casarse, y quedo legítimada por el santo matrimonio. Lo que me ha parecido preciso notar y declarar por lo que despues pueda ofrecerse. Fueron padrinos Joseph Munguia, vecino de la Cienguilla, y María Antonia Espinosa, vecina de este pueblo, y ambos de razon. Los cuales quedaron advertidos del parentesco y obligaciones que contrajeron, y para que conste lo firmé.

Justa Rufina Ledo, child of reason
In this village of San Diego del Pitiqui on the 21st of July of 1781, I, Friar Pedro Font, minister of the said village, solemnly baptized a child born in the afternoon of the 19th day of the said month, whom I gave the name Justa Rufina. She is the legitimate daughter of Mr. Agustín Ledo and Mrs. Susana Burques, both Spaniards, or people of reason, or reputed to be so, and residents of this village. Note: although this is a newborn, she was born five months after her parents were married. They recognize here as legitimate and it is because she was their natural daughter before they were married y has been legitimized by holy matrimony. It has seemed to me to be necessary to make note and declare this because it could afterwards become known. Her godparents were José Munguia, resident of Cienguilla, and María Antonia Espinosa, resident of this village, and both people of reason. They were advised of the parentage and obligation they had contracted, in certification of which, I signed.
