      NOTES: Padre notes bride's marital status as "S.a", or soltera in the margin notes. It appears he noted her marital status as, "V.a" or viuda in the marriage record. Bride was likely single as she received the nuptial blessing. She was also baptized at this mission and I could not find another marriage for her, nor did she have children with anyone other than this groom. -MCF 07/2006.
