This violero, active in Sevilla in the early seventeenth century is known only through his membership of the confraternity of the Santísimo in the parish of San Isidro, and through becoming godfather to two slaves owned by the apothecary Juan Jiménez. Gestoso y Pérez tells that he “Entró por hermano de la cofradía del Santísimo de la parroquia de San Isidoro, en 17 de Septiembre de 1600, perteneciendo a ella por lo menos hasta 1608, fecha en que pagó sus luminarias.—Lib de Entradas,nº 7 del Inventario de dicha cofradía, fol 301.” (gestoso1899-1908, vol. 2, 402). Additionally, Romanillos and Harris report him becoming godfather in 1603 and 1607: that on 6 December 1603 he became godfather to a son of Marta, slave of Juan Jiménez. (APSISB*, 1593-1610, lib 3, fol. 149, order no. 3227), and on 17 April
1607 he was godfather to the daughter of a slave of the apothecary Juan Jiménez (APSISB, 1593-1610, lib 3, fol. 195, order no. 3526) (romanillos2002, 147). Both these baptisms were in the same parish as his confraternity. (APSISB = Archivo Parroquial, San Isidoro, Sevilla, Bautizos). For some unexplained reason, Romanillos and Harris add “Márquez” as a his maternal surname.
