      1770, June 17 (no. 1) Albuquerque, Don Ignacio Chavez of Atrisco andUrsula Sanchez, d. of Jacinto Sanchez and Efigenia Chavez. A petitionhad been made in 1768, but their close relationship had to be referred toDurango, where a dispensation had been denied because, according to DonIgnacio, the fee of 16 pesos had not been sent.

      Now Don Ignacio, evidently a skinflint, referred to a Church decree whichstated that such dispensations could not be sold! Then, aware of thefact that Indians and mixed-breeds did not have to pay for suchdispensations, he went so far as to falsify his Spanish ancestry byclaiming that his grandmother, Juana Baca, had some Indian blood on herfather's side, besides being a mulata on her mother's side. Furthermore,he claimed, the bride's grandfather, Jose Sanchez, was Indian, while hiswife, Teresa Jaramillo, was Indian on her father's side as well as amulata on her mother's (DM incomplete.)

Ursula Bernardina Sanchez, d. of DonJacinto Sanchez and Da. Efigencia Duran y Chavez. Pair dispensed, 2ndwith 3rd degree consanguinity, and 3rd affinity. (Evidently thedispensation had been on its way from Duran when the deposition above, DMof June 17, was made.)
