María Paula Serrano, adult de 22 years, Yuma
In the year of the Lord 1808, on the 12th day of December, I, Friar Faustino Gonzalez, Minister of this Mission of Caborca, solemnly baptized an adult gentile of the Yuma nation, who was about twenty-two years of age and sufficiently instructed in the principal mysteries of our Holy Faith. She had been in the care of the Indian, Antonio the Captain, without having known any other parents than the Indian and his wife. She voluntarily wanted to receive the Holy Baptism. Her godparents were Gregorio Coronado and María Dolores Sevilla, Indians of this village. She took as her name María Paula, and the surname of Serrano because that is the name of the said Antonio the Captain. Indeed, she was ignorant of the names of her parents, and in certification of all of this I signed on the said day, month, and year.
Friar Fautstino Gonzalez (rubric)
