Notarized copy, dated March 4, 1698, of the last will and testament of Capt. Juan Matheo Pérez de Garayo, executed in Costasilla on November 2, 1692. Garayo, son of Diego Pérez de Garayo and Rafaela Margarita de Robles of Seville, and captain of the ship Santísima Trinidad, gives instructions for his funeral and asks that his remains be returned to Spain for burial in the Colegio de San Buenaventura in Seville. He instructs his executors to distribute alms to various religious societies in Veracruz, and to pay his debts. He names Pedro Fernández del Campo as his executor, authorizing him to sell his possessions at auction. In the event that his parents predecease him, Garayo leaves his estate to his brother, Luis Joseph Pérez de Garayo of Seville. The will is executed November 2, 1692 in the pueblo of Costasilla by notary Tomás Sánchez del Avandero. Luis Joseph de Garayo requests a copy of the will on February 27, 1698, which he receives on March 4, 1698, signed by notary Joseph Manuel de la Paz.
Certified statement of November 7, 1692 by Thomas Sánchez del Avandero, attesting to the death of Juan Pérez de Garayo, captain of the king's ship, the Santísima Trinidad. Avandero testifies that at nine in the morning, in a room of Garayo's house in Veracruz, he saw the captain's body, already stiff and cold, laid out on a table surrounded by wax tapers and dressed in the cape of the military order of which he was a knight. Later that afternoon, funeral services were held in the parish church, in the chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad. Avandero's certification was made at the request of Pedro Fernández del Campo, an executor of Garayo's estate. The document is countersigned by several notaries on November 8, 1692.
