[1751]. Carta de Pedro Monger para Martín de la Poza.

Author(s) Pedro Monger      
Addressee(s) Martín de la Poza      
In English

Letter from Pedro Monger to Martín de la Poza.

The author writes Martín to inform him about what he has discovered about Cristóbal Hortelano, even though he could not discover his whereabouts.

María Rodríguez Cerezo, resident in Fuensanta, was married with Cristóbal Múñoz Hortelano, a soldier, from 1733. After nine years without news from him, she started a relationship with Pedro Ximénez, a physician, with whom she got married in 1757. In order to be able to celebrate this second marriage, she claimed that her first husband had died, and presented a letter sent by a priest in Nechite (a town in the archibishopric of Sevilla, but its existence cannot be proved) in which the death of his husband was related. Afterwards, when she was accused of bigamy, this letter was considered false, and, in any case, it was not joined to the proceedings because María Rodríguez Cerezo affirmed that she did not have it anymore. The last news from Cristóbal Múñoz Hortelano came from La Roda, Cadiz, after his desertion from the regiment of Villaviciosa in 1737. He also belonged to the regiment of the Dragones de Edimburg. These letters were presented during the process to demonstrate the efforts made by María Rodríguez Cerezo, by Pedro Ximénez and by his relatives in order to find the whereabouts of Cristóbal Múñoz. However, she was eventually considered guilty and sentenced to five years of banishment, and she was prohibited to live with Pedro Ximénez until the death of her first husband had not been demonstrated. The witnesses who had declared that her first husband was dead were reprimanded, too.
