From the words of my 5th-great-grandmother

Source: Ancestry. Statement of Manuela Flores. 5 June 1852.
While checking to see if there were any new records on Ancestry mentioning some of my ancestors, I stumbled onto a new-to-me document in the Informacion Matrimonial for Josefa Calles, daughter of my 5th-great-grandparents Joseph Manuel Calles and Manuela Flores. The document includes a statement by Manuela on behalf of her daughter, granting her permission to marry Juan Fernandez in Hermosillo, Sonora. Josefa was 18 at the time, putting her birth year about 1834. Josefa's brother, Juan Bautista Calles, also appears as a witness in this record. He married Antonia Campuzano, a daughter of my 3rd-great-grandfather Vicente Campuzano.
