His ship, the San Francisco, was boarded by English privateers, who marooned the Jesuit passengers near Puerto del Príncipe.
For example, baptismal records show that on April 22, 1746, Garrucho baptized a five- or six-year-old native, giving him the name of José Luis.
[2] He assigned them to various forms of agricultural labor on the mission ranch, where they sometimes worked more than the three days per week allowed by law.
[2] By 1751, the mission was prosperous enough that Garrucho commissioned master builder Joaquín de Casares to plan a new church, built with Pima labor.
In the fall, Garrucho hosted Luis Oacpicagigua and his warriors, visiting the mission on their way to assist the Spanish against Apache forces.
He stopped at Mission Santa María Suamca, where he heard de la Cruz's confession, before taking refuge at San Felipe.
[2] The revolt was suppressed; Oacpicagigua's peace conditions included a demand that Garrucho return the Pima servants he had taken with him to Oposura.
Juanico, native governor of Mission San Ignacio de Sonoitac, testified that Garrucho had seized land belonging to him and a group of other Pima.
[2] From Cádiz, most of the Jesuits were sent to a hospice in El Puerto de Santa María, but Garrucho was taken to Madrid and imprisoned there.
