Don Fructuoso RIVERA

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF URUGUAY, 1830-1834 - and godfather, with his wife Dona Bernardina Fragoso, to Juan Facundo Frutuoso Barros Lerena at the Cordon on 13 December 1831. The child was a grandson of Sancho Llerena. Padrinos of that rank are not chosen at random, and this is the earliest indication this archive has of the family's standing. THE PLATE WAS OPENED 21 September 2026 AND HE IS ON IT - with his office, and spelled the priest's way, not the history books'. The act reads 'padrinos Dn. FRUTUSO RIBERA, PRESIDENTE DE LA REPUBLICA y su esposa Da. BERNARDINA FRAGOSO'. FRUTUSO RIBERA, with a B. Everything published here until today came from a MACHINE full-text transcript, which printed the famous spelling FRUCTUOSO RIVERA over what the page actually says. The identification is not weakened by that - it is strengthened, because the act states his OFFICE and names his WIFE, and in December 1831 the President of the Republic was Fructuoso Rivera and his wife was Bernardina Fragoso. Two independent facts on one line, either of which identifies him alone.
