Notes:
Faustina Jesús, niña de cuatro años, hija de padres gentiles
En el año del Señor de mil ochocientos y doce día diez y nueve de junio, Yo, Fray Faustino Gonzalez, Ministro de este Pueblo de Caborca, bautizé solemnemente a una niña que manifestaba tener como cuatro años, hija de padres gentiles, sin saber de que nación. Pues la compré a un Papago del Rancho de Cubo, y por haberla este comprado a otro no me pudo dar razón. Fue madrina Magdalena Nieblina, India cocinera de la misión y capaz para educarla cristianamente, y dicha niña a quien puse por nombre Faustina Jesús estaba en poder del Indio de dicho rancho hacía algo tiempo y sin duda por tener la amor no lo habia querido vender y porque no muriera en poder de él sin bautizar, no hace hasta que lo logré, y con la presunta de muy prelados con la limosna de misas satisfica su coste, y para que todo conste lo firmé en dicho día, mes, y año.

Faustina Jesús, child of four years, daughter of gentile parents
In the year of the Lord 1812 on the 19th day of June, I, Friar Faustino Gonzalez, Minister of this Village of Caborca, solemnly baptized a child who appeared to be about four years of age, daughter of gentile parents, without knowing what nation she was from. Indeed, I bought her from a Papago from the Cubo Ranch, and because he bought her from another he couldn't give me any information. Her godmother was Magdalena Nieblina, the Indian cook of the mission who is suitable for educating her as a Christian. And the said child, whom I gave the name Faustina Jesús, was in the care of the Indian from the said ranch for some time, and undoubtedly it was because of his love for her that he did not want to sell her or have her die while in his care without being baptized. That could not happen until I obtained her, because of the presumption that the great dignity of the alms from the Masses would satisfy the cost, and in certification of this I signed as above.
