After the second reading of the banns, it was learned that the couple was related in the third and fourth degree of consanguinity, of which the preospective groom had been unaware. Since 3 Aug 1775, he had lived with María Bárbara in the same house with considerable familiarity. Their poverty had been the cause of such a long delay, and they had certain bills outstanding. Isidro Antonio stated that while living in the home of María Bárbara he had not had sexual relations with her.

Witnesses: Juan Gómez, age 90, citizen of Santa Fé, stated that the couple was related in the third and the fourth degree as follows:

Rosa García, 58, and Antonia Teresa Rael de Aguilar, 73, both citizens of Santa Fé, confimred the relationships.

Nicholás Rael de Aguilar, 47, squadron corporal of the presidio of Santa Fé , knew the couple and had heard from Juana Baca, the mother of Toribio Ortiz, and Valentina Pacheco, the mother Isidro González was a second cousin of Toribio Ortiz; and the Isidro González was María Bárbara Ortiz's third cousin.

Father Rivera requested an opinion from fray Francisco Atanasio Domíngez who was in Santa Fé as visitor in the custody of New Mexico. While the document is incomplete, and the decision is not recorded, Father Domínguez argued that poverty and community scandal was suitable reason to grant dispensation.
