María de las Nieves, de nación Nifora, adulta
En el año de mil setecientos setenta y ocho, en el día cinco de agosto, Yo, Fraile Thomas Eyxarch, Misionero Apostólico de esta Misión de San Antonio de Oquitoa, bauticé solemnemente a una adulta, al parecer de 14 años de edad, de nación Nifora, a la cual se le puso por nombre María de las Nieves. Recibió el Santa Bautismo de su voluntad, habiendo sido anta catequisada e instruida en los misterios de nuestra Santa Fe. Fue su madrina Rosa Peralta, Pima, a la que advertí el parentesco espiritual, y demás obligaciones que contrajó. Para que conste lo firmo dicho día, mes, y año ut supra

María de las Nieves, an adult of the Nifora nation
In the year of 1778, on the 5th day of August, I, Friar Thomas Eyxarch, Apostolic Missionary of this Mission of San Antonio de Oquitoa, solemnly baptized an adult who appears to be 14 year of age, of the Nifora nation, who was given the name María de las Nieves. She received the Holy Baptism of her own free will, having previously received catachism and instruction in the mysteries of our Holy Faith. Her godmother was Rosa Peralta, a Pima, whom I advised of the spiritual relationship and other obligations of which she had contracted. In certification of this I sign on the said day, month, and year as above.
