Mulford, Samuel
to Bishop (Luis Penalver y Cardenas) Mulford, a native of Somerset in New York, a Presbyterian, son of Charles Mulfoard and Nancy Ros(s), resident of this city for 11 years, wishes to marry Maria Gravois, a native of the parish of Signy, Bay de Carlores in Canada, daughter of Jose Gravois and Maria Magdalena Bourg, Roman Catholic, an orphan dependent on her sister Angela, wife of Carlos Federic. Mulford will swear that he will never interfere in her religion or that of their children. In conformity with the royal decree dated at San Lorenzo November 30, 1972, about marriages in the Anglo-American colony, Mulford asks the necessary permission. L.S. (Spanish)

Valdez, Father Juan de Dios Marriages between persons of different religions are forbidden and even though they are permitted by the instruction of November 30, 1792, it is always by dispensation. Samuel offers to live with his intended wife and children according to the Catholic religion; this is one of the necessary circumstances but there must also be grave and almost always public cause according to the expression of Pope Benedict XIV in his diocesan synod. Since this does not appear it seems that the petition cannot be granted. A.D.S. (Spanish)
--------
Penalver y Cardenas, Bishop Luis The dispensation is not granted, since no cause has been given to merit it. A.D.S. (Spanish)

Quintero, Father Isidro Quintero notified Mulfoard of the decree. A.D.S. (Spanish)
