Names incl. José Mª Blanquel, Ignacio Carrillo, Pedro Juan Salinas, Miguel Álvarez, Crescencio Araujo, José Gpe. Salgado, Mariano Kildon, Ignacio Olvera, Miguel Sánchez &c. A rare named roster of the deported-convict ('cholo') population sent to California on the eve of the 1830s. → presidio-population / social history + the Californio dossier (the convict-soldier stigma).
