THE WILL OF DÕNA MARIA IGNACIA URRUTIA

February 7, 1812

In the name of God and His Most Holy Mother, Our Lady, who conceived by grace without original sin.

Be it well known by this my last will and written testament, that I, Maria Ignacia, a widow, am a resident of the City of San Fernando de Bexar.

Though I am seriously ill, I am in possession of sound mind, memory, and understanding. Being so endowed with reason, I realize, especially since I am thus confined to my bed, that death is the natural debt of all creatures, and that it will claim us without our knowing the hour of it's coming.

I firmly believe in the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three separate persons but only one true God, and I believe all the others creeds in which Our Holy Mother Apostolic Roman Catholic Church believes and confesses.

With our Most Holy Mother of Guadalupe as my advocate and guide as she has been all my life and I pray her to continue to be, to strengthen my faith, I make, publish and declare this my last will in the following manner.

FIRST: I commend my soul to God who created it and redeemed it with His most precious blood. It is my wish that my body be shrouded in the robe of the religious order of our Patron Saint Francis, and buried in the Campo Santo of this city. If it is God's will, I desire to be buried in the morning, and to have nine low masses celebrated in the Parochial Church, beginning on the day of my funeral. The other burial arrangements I leave to the good judgment of my executors and I order my wishes to be respected in these matters.

SECOND: It is my will that 100 pesos be dedicted from my estate to pay for 100 masses to be celebrated in the following manner for the repose of my soul: 25 in the Mission of Espiritu Santos in the Presidio of La Bahia, 25 in the Mission known as Nuestra Senora del Refugio, 25 in San Francisco de la Espada, and 25 in the Mission San Jose. I command this to be done.

THIRD: Although I do not recall that I owe any debts, if any persons should present claims against my estate and fully prove my indebtedness to them. I desire my executors to pay these debts from the corpus of my estate. I order this to be done.

FOURTH: I declare that I was married in the first nuptials to Don Simon de Arocha, Commander of the Corps of Militia of Texas. During our marriage I bore my husband six children:

Francisco

Ana Maria

Tomás

Miguel

The preist Clemente

Ignacio

I brought no dowry whatever to my said husband. This is the Truth.

FIFTH: I declare as my property the following real estate: a stone house, situated in the Plaza of this city; it is bounded on the West by the Acequia, on the North by a lot which is the property of Don Vicente Travieso, and on the South by the said Plaza. The lot consists of 40 varas frontage and 60 varas depth and the house consists of a hallway, a living room, and two bedrooms; the remainder of the 40 varas is enclosed by one solid wall. This I state to be true.

SIXTH: I declare that I possess and claim as mine the following: two iron pots, two metates, one trunk, four flannel nightgowns, two underskirts, two pairs of top skirts without padding, one cot covered with hide, two sheets, one pair of pillows, one picture of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, one bench, one table, and one blue muffler. This is the truth.

Seventh: I declare that I have brought action against Alferez Juan Antonio Urrutia concerning a lot for which he has not yet paid me in full but which is reputed to belong to him, I order my executors to collect from the said Urrutia what he lawfully owes and to carry out my orders in this particular.

EIGHTH: I declare that it is my last wish that the property known to be mine, listed in the above clauses, be distributed equally among in the above children, whom I charge to conduct themselves with complete harmony and brotherly affection. I order this to be done.

NINTH: I name and appoint as my executors, first, my son the priest, Clemente Arocha, and second, my son Francisco, and it is my desire that they as my executors carry out the provisions of this my will. I give them jointly and severally all power and authority necessary to dispose of or sell what they consider the most liquid of my assets if necessary to pay the bequests, legacies, church fees, ceremonies, and funeral and burial expenses mentioned in this will , carrying out my wishes in every detail. I pray them to acquit my conscience as I lay that burden on theirs, and whatever they may do thus, shall be as valid, binding and legal as if I myself had acted. I direct this to be done.

TENTH: I order my executors to pay the fees known as the compulsory church bequests, whatever is customary in this (city).

It is my desire that this be recognized as my last will and testament and that it be qiven the full faith and credit which it merits under the law. Because some certain clause has been omitted, it should not have less validity and force that it would have if such a clause had been incorporated in it.

In this faith and belief thus expressing my intention, I executed this instrument as shown herein, but did not sign it because I did not know how to write. At my request Vicente Gortari, a resident of this city of San Fernando de Béxar, signed for me, January 7, 1812, in the presence of the Commissioner, Captain Luis Galan, and the witnesses to his proceedings, in the form and manner in which they will sign below

Notes for JOSE-JOAQUIN LEAL-DELGADO:

Joaquin Leal, born 1745, was the son of Bernardo Leal and Leonor Delgado, who came from the Canary Islands and founded this city of San Antonio, which they originally named Villa of San Fernando in March 9, 1731. His grandfather, Juan Leal, was 56 years old a widower when he arrived here in 1731, and married the widow Delgado. Juan Leal was the first Mayor of this city and the first Judge. He came from the Island of Lancerote, Canary Islands. They had been in that island since 1460 where they came from the mainland of the Southern Part of Spain. All the men were given the title of "Hidalgo" which title still carries to all their male descendants and are considered "Knights of the Frontier". Joaquin married Ana Maria Arocha, granddaughter of Francisco Arocha, the first secretary and notary public of the villa of San Fernando. Her mother was from the old Urrutia Spanish military family. Joaquin and Ana Maria donated the land for what is now St. Joseph Catholic Church, as family tradition states. Joaquin also owned five ranches in what is now the city of Elmendorf, Texas and is an ancestor of this author, John O. Leal.

He and his family are listed on the 1790 & 1803 census, San Antonio, Texas

Notes for FATHER JOSE DARIO ZAMBRANO:

Father José Darío Zambrano (Sambrano), a Catholic priest, was born in San Antonio on December 17, 1768, the son of Don Joseph Macario Zambrano and Dona Juana de Ocon y Trillo. His father was a recent immigrant from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, who soon became a prominent rancher. Among Darío's numerous brothers and sisters was his younger brother Juan Manuel Zambrano, with whom Darío has often been confused. As a young man Darío was sent to the interior of New Spain to study for the priesthood and was ordained in Monterrey in May 1793. Little is known about where he ministered between then and 1811, except for a few months service as substitute pastor of Matamoros in 1800 and his time as pastor of Santa Rosa, Coahuila, in 1807-08. Zambrano was in San Antonio when the Casas Revolt broke out in early 1811, and he joined in the Royalist counterrevolution led by his brother Juan Manuel Zambrano. When the pastor of the local San Fernando Church was implicated in a revolutionary plot a few weeks later, Zambrano was appointed to replace him. He served as pastor of this San Antonio parish from late March 1811 until his retirement in late 1816. For a while in 1811 he also became temporary chaplain of the Presidial Company of Béxar. When the revolutionary forces of the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition occupied San Antonio in 1813, Zambrano joined the loyalist troops who were forced to withdraw from Texas. He was one of the chaplains with those troops when they returned in August and routed the insurgents at the battle of Medina. One of those who fled to safety in Louisiana after this defeat was Don Vizente Tarín, for whose child Zambrano had stood as godfather. Tarín remained along the Louisiana border as late as 1821 and apparently never returned to his home. Tarín's pregnant wife, Juana Leal, stayed in San Antonio and gave birth to her second son in early 1814; Father Zambrano again served as godfather. There are strong indications that Zambrano's responsibility as godfather to take care of this family in the absence of the husband and father led to a greater intimacy than his clerical state allowed; he was the father of several children born to Juana Leal between 1816 and 1824. Although Zambrano retired from the pastorate of San Antonio in late 1816, he served as acting pastor again in November 1818, when his successor absented himself and never returned. For a few months in 1819 Zambrano also took on the responsibility of the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras (Alamo Company) chaplaincy, since it was also lacking a resident priest. In late January 1820 a new pastor finally arrived and Zambrano again retired from public ministry. When a visiting church official in 1825 ordered Zambrano to celebrate Mass in the Alamo Company's chapel for those living on the other side of the San Antonio River, Zambrano ignored the request, probably because he was already retired from ministry and advanced in age. The angered official decreed that Zambrano was no longer permitted to celebrate Mass until further notice. Father Zambrano died around the end of February 1826.
