I, Juan Miguel Alvares del
Castillo, a resident of this kingdom, appear before your Excellency in the best
form and state that doña Barbara
Vaca, my lawful and first wife, having died, there were left to me three
legitimate children, among whom was divided the property which belonged to
their mother, in conformity with the schedules of division and partition made
by the judge from the inventories. And notwithstanding that my said wife and
her testament appointed me as first executor and keeper of the property, I was
deprived of the right that I had for three reasons and is the father to keep
said property in my possession. The same was delivered to my father-in-law, don Bernabe Vaca, in his possession date
remained for some time, and some losses were observed, the governor don Francisco Antonia Marin del Valle,
placed the order that the same should be returned to my possession for it was
remained up to the present time with the exception of two schedules which I
have given to two of my daughters. And
because I have contracted marriage at El Paso del Rio del Norte, which is not a
suitable place to keep up the property of the other two children who are with
me; and in consideration that part of said property consists of one ranch and
there is nobody to rent it, for which reason it does not produce anything and
as I’m obliged as a father and keeper of the property to increase and secure
the same, I ask and request your Excellency for the sake of justice to allow me
to sell said ranch and other property, converting all of it into sheep, so that
by giving it out on shares with proper security it may produce revenue annually
for the support and other needs of myself and my children. I swear this is not
been in bad faith and whatever is left necessary. Juan Miguel Albares del Castillo (rubric)
