Claims & citations
The copied 1711 baptism names Doña Francisca Rey as Cayetano’s mother.
Witnesses call Don Diego Rey Villamarín Cayetano’s uncle, whose entailed estate Cayetano inherited. Whether he was a paternal or maternal uncle is not stated.
The petition claims notorious hidalgo status for Cayetano, his father and grandfather; the tax rolls of 1711, 1727 and 1736 omit them; and the Ribadavia council recognised the status on 3 April 1743, approved by royal provision “for now and without prejudice to the royal patrimony”.

A 1743 proceeding recognising Cayetano Rey Villamarín’s established hidalgo status, read from 120 photographed images. It copies authenticated parish entries of 1643, 1679, 1702 and 1711, sworn witness statements, a tax-roll certificate and the Ribadavia council’s recognition. The public catalogue entry has not yet been matched, so the reference is provisional. Witness statements about ancestral houses repeat what elders said.
