Summary
Record of a proceeding in Havana on 11 August 1758 (f. 1v) establishing the legitimacy and genealogical purity (lexitimidad y limpieza, f. 1r) of clergyman Feliz del Rey, native of Laguna on the island of Tenerife (f. 2r). Don Santiago José Hechavarría y Elguesúa, a priest who in 1769 would be confirmed as bishop of the diocese of Santiago de Cuba, was present as an advocate (f. 1r). Del Rey's bloodline is certified as old Catholic, free of Moorish, Jewish, Indian, black, mulatto, or recently-converted ancestors (f. 11v). An assertion that this copy matches the original held by the authorities is added in another hand (f. 13v). The final page of text ends with three signatures and has two stamps in black ink, one from 1745-1746, at the end of the reign of Philip V, and one from 1758-1759 (f. 14r).
