San Nicolas el Chico, Hacienda de.

Manuscript: "Titulos pertenecientes a la Hacienda de San Nicolas el Chico de la propriedad del Señor Gorgonio de la Concha. In Spanish, on paper.

      Mexico & Tulancingo: 1643-1753. Folio. 75 ff. The origins of the Hacienda de San Nicolas el Chico in the vicinity of Tulancingo, Mexico, date from the 1590s when the crown reclaimed land and grants of Indian labor and tribute that had fallen into disuse, unclaimed, or into dispute. In 1643 the crown offered for sale two caballerías of land and the rights to two accesses to water for that land - and Pedro del Castillo of Tulancingo successfully acquired the land and water rights for 200 pesos. The documents here are mostly originals with a few notarial certified copies of earlier writings, and they document the ownership and growth of a small-size hacienda over the period of approximately a hundred years. Written in a variety of hands. All documents in good to very good condition. With an early 20th century calligraphic "title-page," this with a tear and some tatters.
