I am still viewing the microfilm no. 0169054, which is Escrituras/Tierras of the years 1691 - 1738. I spent over 5 hours at the LDS Center yesterday Saturday. I have viewed 3/4 of the film now. After the first 1/4 of the film "Hacienda Palomas" of Juchipila is where it starts and after 300 pages it still is about "Hacienda Palomas." But where the documents seem to be written is in "La Cathedral de La Ciudad De Zacatecas" A lot of pages on "Ciudad Zacatecas."
Many of those pages are signed by "Antonio De Miranda." I made some random copies to show you his signature and it seems like he was Governor:

Here is a signature:

This is what he looks like when I looked him up on the internet for a painting:

And as I was reading many of the pages, on one line that caught my attention is "rodeo" Seems like they had rodeos back then in 1696. I underlined it in green and it says something about "ganados en los rodeos"

I jotted some names down that I saw while I was reading:
Ignacio Navarrette (year 1680)
Capitan Melchor Martinez (year 1688)
Capitan Juan De Renelis, Diego Arratia (year 1693)
Juan Bautista De Avila "Espanol"
Joseph Garcia De La Cruz "Espanol" 44 anos
Joseph De Alba "Espanol"
Ignacio De Acevedo Guzman (year 1693)
Sebastian Velazquez (year 1696)
I have 1/4 left to view the film to view. But even when I am done viewing this film? I will order two microfilms on Testamentos that I want to see:
Testamentos 1659 - 1843 microfilm no. 169027
Testamentos 1722 - 1752 microfilm no. 169031

Did you happen to notice who was the wife of Sebastián Velásquez?
Stuart Armstrong
Sebastian Velasquez
Here is a copy of the page where I saw the name of "Sebastian Velasquez." I underlined it in green:

Sebastian Velasquez
Thank you for this information. I tried to order this but it is on "Back order." In looking at this name I believe it actually says Sebastiana Velasquez. I think that is pretty usual to have a female as the Executor, she must have been well respected and educated.
