Notes

  • -  On May 9, 1777, Joseph Colón de Larriategui issued this lengthy judicial decree which certified that Francisco de Iturrate and his brothers, Doctor Maximiliano de Iturrate, pastor of the city of Jauja, and ecclesiastical judge and vicar of the province of Jauja in Peru, and Joseph Antonio de Iturrate, colonel of dragoons of the regiment of Palpa and privative judge of the royal tax of the alcabala, were hidalgos of Vizcayan origin and were to be given all the rights pertaining to that position. The decree incorporated all of the investigations, judicial decrees, and other documents which the Iturrates had presented as proof of their case. They had begun the efforts to prove their nobility in Ica in 1771 and had presented records of marriages and baptisms, clauses from wills, and titles of honor and preferment which pertained to their ancestors. Some of these documents dated back to the early 17th century. In 1775 Francisco de Iturrate, now resident in Madrid, continued the process of collecting evidences of the family's nobility, again gathering depositions of witnesses, records of baptisms and marriages, and other similar documents, which are also incorporated into the decree. The documents give the background of an influential Basque family in colonial Peru. Signed; countersigned by Joseph de Zarandona y Balboa.
