In this locality of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad de Rio
Arriva, in the jurisdiction of the villa nueva
de Santa Cruz de la Cañada, on December 14, 1763, before me, the Alcalde
Mayor, don Manuel Garcia Pareja,
appeared Marcial Martin, who is the executor for his late father, Sebastian
Martin, who when he was alive, made a gift and donation of a piece of land to
Francisco Chacon, resident of Rio Arriva, in order that he would accompany him
and help him with anything that might present itself. Said Marcial Martin, acknowledges that this
is so, his brother, as second executor, giving him permission. Said land is 200 Castilian varas in length
and in width 100 varas, its boundaries on the north, are uncultivated lands of
the heirs of the deceased Sebastian Martin; on the east the acequia madre; on
the south the old acequia belonging to the deceased; and on the west lands of
Santiago Luzero. Said land is conveyed
to him with entrances and exits and the side towards the hills, Marcial Martin,
