| Notes: In the town of Arizpe on the tenth day of the month of January in the year 1799, Don José Ugues San Martín appeared before me, Don José Cayetano Salcido, Priest for His Majesty, Vicar, and Ecclesiastic Judge for this capital and its jurisdiction, and said that for the better service of God he desires to contract marriage, according to the order of our holy mother church, with Doña María Rosa Anza. To this effect, having charged him with the seriousness of the oath and obligation to tell the truth, sins that will be incurred, eternal punishments, and temporal obligations that must be submitted to, I received the oath he made in the form prescribed by God, our Lord, under the sign of the cross. In good faith he promised to tell the truth about what he knows and what he would be asked and, according to the general instruction on the subject (preceded by paternal consent on his part and that of his fiancée as mandated by His Majesty), he said that his name is José Ugues San Martín, that he is a Spaniard and a single man, originally from the Sonora Valley and presently living in Ures; he is the legitimate son of Don Manuel Ugues San Martín, and Doña Brigida López; that in effect he desires to marry Doña María Rosa Anza, a young Spanish maiden, originally from the presidio of Tubac, and a resident of this town since a tender age; she is the legitimate daughter of Don Francisco Anza, deceased, and Doña Tereza Pérez Serrano; that there is no tie of relationship with his fiancée, either through kinship or by marriage, licit or illicit copulation, or spiritual relationship; that he is not, nor has he ever been married; that there is no other pending betrothal with any other person; that he has made no vow, either simple or solemn, of chastity or religion, as also he is free of all canonical impediments obstructing marriage; and that his intent is to contract marriage without the intervention of deceit, force, or fear, and of his free and voluntary will; and, by the same token, he is the proponent of his request; that what he has said is the truth. I therefore administered the oath on the above date, which he affirmed and ratified as read and accepted it as his declaration. He said that he is nineteen years of age and signed with me, the said priest, vicar, and ecclesiastic judge.
