Julián Armijo and Maria Dolores Ortiz, Alburquerque, 15 October-30 November 1819, AHAD-371, f. 630-40.

Julián Armijo, 36, español, single, was the legitimate son of Vicente Armijo and Barbara Chaves, both deceased citizens of the Alburquerque jurisdiction. Marla Dolores Ortiz, about 30 years old, española, the widow of José Miguel Gabaldon, was a citizen of Sandía Pueblo. The couple was related in the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity.

Father Leyva questioned Julián Armijo, who stated that he had known María Dolores since her birth. He added that he was also related to his intended in the second degree of affinity because of copula illicita, having had sexual relations at various times with one of her first cousins. He stated that he had also had sex with his intended some four or five years earlier while her late husband was still living. He had planned to marry her should she become a widow. He believed he had caused sufficient scandal and did not want to leave María Dolores unprotected. Dolores Ortiz stated she had been a widow for more than four years. She added that she had had carnal relations with one of Julián's brothers while she was married to her late husband. Therefore, she was related to him by affinity to him in the first degree on the basis of copula illicita on a transverse line. This had not become public knowledge.

Witnesses:
Gregorio Ortiz, 30, español single, admitted that he was related to Dolores Ortiz. He stated that he had seen her first husband buried about four years previously in the parish church. He knew that she had had improper relations with one of Julian's brothers and had heard that she had also had improper relations with another of his brothers. Julian had engaged in an improper relationship with one of Dolores's first cousins.

Pablo Sedillo, 59, español, married.
Sa1vador Gonzalez, 60, español, married, resident of the Alburquerque area, added that José Miguel Gabaldon had drowned in the Rio Grande.

On 12 Oct 1819, Father Leyva wrote Father Guerra at Sandía Pueblo that the proceedings of the previous April lacked the permission of the parish priest for Dolores Ortiz to wed. He asked Father Guerra to give his pennission for the marriage and include baptismal certificates. He complied with this request on 13 Oct 1819.

Father Leyva forwarded the proceedings to Durango on 16 Oct 1819, noting the several impediments to the marriage: consanguinity in third and fourth degrees by transverse, affinity in the first degree on a transverse line because of copula illicia (by Dolores), second degree of affinity on a transverse line because of copula illicita (by Julian). On 30 November, Archdeacon González de Cosío granted a dispensation subject to a penance of paying 28 pesos in alms to be used at the bishop's discretion. He ordered the priest in Albuqurerque to publish the banns three times. Assuming no new impediments arose, he was to marry the couple and grant them the nupial blessing.
