I, Matheo Trujillo, a resident of La Canada, with due submission appear
at the feet of your excellency in the best form possible which the law
allows which is favorable to me and say: That I am one of the settlers
of Chama, together with my son Francisco Trujillo, who, on account
of the accident of being thrown by a horse, was unable to appear
before you excellency; and we both desire to say that it is not
convienient for us to return and settle in said Chama, because we are
in danger of losing our lives, occasioned by the hostile and barbarous
Indian nations who exist in said Chama. It is true that we abandoned
said site, as also the other settlers had abandoned the said site, first;
that the aforesaid, my son, and three women stayed there for fifteen
days, and we were obliged to leave what Captain Xptoval Torres had
assigned us to plant and cultivate. Now we find ourselves with better
conveniences; this is our way of thinking, and no other, so both my
son and myself relinquish the said site. Therefore, I ask and request,
with the veneration due your excellency, that you deign to provide as
just whatever you may decide in our favor. I swear in du form that
this, my, is not of malice; etc.
Signed Matio Trujillo (Rubric)
Mateo's son, Francisco also provided a petiton that was presented to
the court at the same time, relinquishing all rights to the Chama land.
His petition reads:
I, Francisco Trujillo, a native of this kingdom and a resideent of the
settlement of El Embudo, appear before your excellency in the best
form possible according to law and favorable to me and say: In
obedience to the decree presented to me by order of your excellency,
I desire to say that I am very poor and it is impossible for me to
settle on the lands which I had in Chama; one reason being the great
danger to which I was exposed above Chama; the other being that
I have a large family and the enemy may kill us; and because of such
danger I relinquish the said lands; and if at any time I or my children
may try to get them back, are petition is not to be considered in court
or out of it. Finding myself on foot and unable to present myself at
the feet of your excellency, I ask you to have mercy on me and mine.
I swear by almighty god and the sign of the holy cross that this, my
petition, is not of malice; whatever necessary; etc.
Signed Francisco Trujillo (Rubric)
