Collection of documents

of the history of San Luis Potosi.

Recorded by names (census) of the Tlaxcalan Indians that came to settle with
the Chichimecas.

In El Rio de San Juan (today San Juan del Rio Queretaro) on the 6th of July
of 1561, Agustin de Hinojosa Villavicencio, Lieutenant of Captain-General
for the new settlement of Chichimecas of his Excellency Luis de Velasco,
Knight of the Order of Santiago, Viceroy, Governor, Captain General of New
Spain, President of the Real Audencia… Before me the notary said: That the
governor, mayors and elders (chiefs) of the city of Tlaxcala offered the
Viceroy 400 married Indians all original citizens of said city (Tlaxcala),
for the establishment of said settlement (the new Chichimeca settlement),
who left and were divided into 4 wagon groups with their women and children
in said city (San Juan del Rio) where they were supposed to deliver
themselves (submit to orders) to the Lieutenant (Agustin de Hinojosa). Some
respectfully did not deliver themselves (did not submit to orders).

Because it is just that it be known and understood, it must be determined

(investigate) if the 400 Indians delivered themselves and if all are apart
of the contingent … (with that intent) he (lieutenant Agustin de Hinojosa)
mandates an account with names including women and children, neighborhood,
details (origin and neighborhood) and chief. In order for the truth to be
known for all time, the count was taken in the following manner:

Rodrigo Rio de Loza, gentleman of the order of Señor Santiago, Governor and
Captain General of the provinces of Nueva Viscalia, by the King, our Lord &a. For which
his majesty has by royal provision committed and mandated me freedom, in accord with
the emissary Don Luis de Velasco, Viceroy, Lieutenant and his Governor of New Spain
and Capitan General of this kingdom, to make the settlement that in this new kingdom of
Galicia must be made, and has been mandated for the Tlaxcalteca Indians, that his
lordship and emissary have sent to this kingdom to populate the lands of the Guachichile
Indians, or where ever they may be populated after having come in peace, and for the
perpetuation of the peace said Indians have come for, so that it (peace) will always be
present. And the Guachichiles Indians with their way of living, through justice and
Christianity, along with the doctrine of the religious men that will be with them, will
embrace the knowledge of our Catholic faith so that my friends can be saved. The nature
of said royal provision is of the following nature:

Provision:
Don Felipe by the grace of god, King of Castile, Leon, Aragon, the Cicilias,
Jerusalem, Portugal, Navarra, Granada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Mayorca, Cevilla,
Cerdena, Cordova, Murcia, Jaen de los Aljares, Aljesira, Gilbraltar, Canary Islands,
Eastern and Western India, islands and solid lands of the ocean. Archduke of Austria,
Duke of Borgona, Bravante, Count of Aspurg, Flandes, Tirol, and Barcelona, Lord of
Vizcaya, and of Molina &a. Your Knight Commander Rodrigo de Rio de Loza my
governor and Captain General of the Nueva Vizcaya and Provence of Chametla, wish you
health and grace. Be it know that Don Luis Velazco my Viceroy and Governor and
Captain General of New Spain, admits how much the conservation of peace matters and
therefore has always tried to ensure Chichimecan peace by the more subtle means of
exposing them (the Chichimeca) to the true knowledge of our holy Catholic faith and
evangelical doctrine in the hopes that these (Indians) resign themselves to trying to
establish a settlement of Indian friends. For many years many have tried with the benefit
of your advice, which should have inclined them (Indians) to tranquility. This has been
tried for a long time with so much difficulty that the predecessors to said Viceroy have
not been able to attain it. It has been Our Lord serving as facilitator, having moved, by
order of said Viceroy, the Indians from the Province of Tlaxcala to offer four hundred
married Indians for this settlement.

Knowing that settlements in good order and good locations will coincide with having the
benefit of giving service to God and to myself. Having considered your vast experience
and knowledge in this area and of the land and location of the Chichimeca Province, as
well as their ways and conditions, I respectfully request your services and hope that you
will serve us well, with the care and diligence that you have up to now shown. In the
event that you agree to accept my request, I command that upon delivery of my letter and
Royal Provision you embark on the road to the place called Cuicillo where you will find
said Indians who were removed from the Province of Tlaxcala and the religious men of
the order of Saint Francis who accompany them. They will be handed over to you by
Agustin de Hinojosa Villavicencio, in whose charge they have been under order of said
Viceroy. You will take them (Indians) and settle them in the place you deem most
convenient for our desired outcome. Although the said Viceroy gave certain instructions
to the said religious men, whom Agustin de Hinojosa will also hand over to you, you
know the situation and the importance of this business and the condition it is in.
Therefore, the disposition of the land will be left to you. You will order and dispose as
you think is best to serve God Our Lord and me, and the conversion of those naturals
(Indians) for which I commit all that is needed, with the entire power and limitless
authority at your disposal. And although, to my embarrassment and mercy, payment was
insufficient, it was given in Mexico City on the 22nd day of the month of June of the year
fifteen hundred and ninety one. Don Luis Velasco.

I, Pedro de Campos Guerrero, senior scribe of New Spain, by command of the King our
lord have given this order in agreement with the Viceroy and in his name.

And because one of the five said settlements in the Villa de Santiago del Saltillo falls
under my jurisdiction, mine and the Padres of the order of Saint Francis, as well as other
principle people that were present in El Cuicillo when the said Indians were distributed
for this very just cause. And since we all agree that we are all vassals and servants to your
majesty it is out duty to assist in the creation of said settlement in the Villa de Santiago de
Saltillo and that it be partially located among the many that already live there, so that the
Indians can make their town where there is room for them and to create a convent for the
religious men and so that the Guachichiles can congregate to said location to which they
came to populate and are able to do so comfortably and closest to said Tlaxcaltecans for
the reasons that your Majesty and lordship have proposed to do for the salvation of the
souls of all of them (Indians), and the universal good of this Kingdom. Therefore it is
necessary, that a person go and very carefully and rigidly address this, so that this
population has the effect that we all desire. Considering that this is a matter that I would
like to attend to in person, and finding that I am too busy with other matters that pertain
to your majesty’s service, I have taken it upon myself to find a suitable person who can
be trusted with this mission. These qualities I have found in Capitan Francisco de
Urdinola who has proven that he has the diligence and care that is required, and will
respond with Christianity, firmness, and care to your Majesty’s assignment as he has
always done as your Capitan in this Kingdom, where he has served with honesty, care
and with much approval. On his behalf I must say that he was the principle instrument
that brought peace to so many barbarians in those districts of Mazapil, a peace that is still
present today. Since he has proven to be a trustworthy person in whom we can find the
qualities that are required for this mission and others that are worthy of consideration, I
have asked this of him and he has agreed to serve your Majesty. I name said Captain
Francisco de Urdinola, in virtue of said provision, who in my place and in your Majesty’s
name goes to said Villa de Saltillo, to look for the place that is best suited, where the
eighty married Indians that were sent to populate can make their village. Where they can
build their houses, orchards, cattle ranches and cemetery in places that are more to their
liking. The land will be divided among them by neighborhood, as they themselves
requested. This, in itself, will determine the location where the convent will be built to
house the religious men of the order of St. Francis and that it be built at the expense of
your Majesty for the Doctrine of the native Indians and settlers of those lands, and of the
said Tlaxcaltecans, and they all have the best possible accommodations, so that your
Majesty’s plans are successful. This is what we all want and desire and so to this end, and
for whatever may come up, I give him power and authority to do what is required
according what is allowed through your Majesty’s Royal Provision. Since said Villa de
Saltillo falls under my governing powers I pledge a thousand times that said Captain
Francisco de Urdinola is to be obeyed as my appointed Lieutenant Governor and Captain
General in all the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya. This applies to this case and any others
that may arise in my absence. He has the authority to preside over all legal matters of said
population, perform all judicial acts or errands that may be needed. All will cooperate and
honor said Captain Francisco de Urdinola as Lieutenant Governor and Captain General
by letting him make the said distribution of lots, orchards, lands, water, and cattle ranches
of the said Tlaxcaltecan Indians and the rest without interfering even if these decisions
affect previous distributions made by myself of my predecessors, be sure that I will
repeal any judgment that interferes with this cause until I see fit to order otherwise.
Everyone is to assist in his requests, respect and obey him without any remission at all in
respect to any demands that may be placed, for if they are made by him they are also
made by me. Let it be known that my Lieutenant Governor and Captain General has the
authority to deal with those who rebel or disobey him, and to enforce his will on the
people and their belongings, except when it pertains to people of character or rank. If
after having made the proper investigations and the case is conclusive, these transgressors
find themselves under the penalty of death, effusion of blood, or mutilation of limbs. I
require that in these three rulings the delinquents be incarcerated and that the case be
remitted to me so that I can properly sentence the individual according to his rights and
the law. In addition he (Lt. Governor) has all the authority expected with regard to
naming scribes, constables, and guards. I give him the power and authority which is
required and I commit my support as Governor, dated in the City of Nuestra Senora de
los Zacatecas on the 11th day of August of fifteen hundred ninety one ---- Rodrigo de Rio
de Loza.
