requests retirement. *(✎ date CORRECTED vs dateline crop, 2026-07-02: '1796 Mzo 1º San Diego' — the old 'May 1' came from Borica's endorsement date; scan bound tightened n106 only)* — Service record: 33 years' service at the Terrenate (Sonora) presidio + San Fco & San Diego in Cal.; 9 campaigns vs. Apaches & Seris '(en las que fué 2 veces herido)' (wounded twice) 'y 11 mariscadas' [sic — Sonoran presidial usage, forays]; in Cal. 10 *salidas*, with 2 just completed, 'de ellas las ocho de comandante á castigar indios perjudiciales, y en busca de fugitivos' ✎ (old row's 'presidiales' was a typo; no leg wound in the abstract — removed); age 51, strength waning, asks retirement at San Diego itself. ⭐ Gov. Borica's marginal endorsement (Monterey, May 1796): 'Me consta cuanto expresa el interesado… le considero acreedor' — grant retirement at half-pay of alférez + grade of teniente, for his 'celo, exactitud y valor.' → the Indian-raiding dossier, prosopography (Grijalva = Anza-expedition veteran).
