Biography

Burgos was born 1558 in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain, the son of Diego Pérez de Burgos and Beatriz Martínez de Tremal, belonging to a distinguished Andalusian family.[4] He arrival in the Río de La Plata from Cádiz in 1581.[5] He lived in Asunción and settled in Buenos Aires in 1583, where he married to Juana de Aguilar y Salvatierra, daughter of Leonor de Zamora and her first husband Andrés Gil, natives of Ronda.[6]

Francisco Pérez de Burgos was the successor of Antón García Caro, in the position of notary of Buenos Aires.[7] He served as notary public and of Cabildo until 1606, being replaced by Manuel Martin.[8] In 1606, Burgos presented before the City Council, his title of Royal Notary of the Spanish Indies, signed on February 11, 1581 by the King Philip II of Spain.[9]

In 1584 Burgos officiated the notarial deed in the interrogation conducted by Conquistador Don Juan de Torres de Vera y Aragón, against three English pirates, who had been persecuted by the Charruas Indians in the territory of Santa Fe Province. One of these pirates was John Drake, the nephew of Francis Drake.[10]

Francisco Pérez de Burgos belonged to the second contingent of settlers established in the city of Buenos Aires. He also living in the provinces of San Miguel de Tucumán, Santa Fe and Corrientes. In 1596, Burgos was appointed by the governor Juan Ramírez de Velasco, to exercise the position of Alcalde and Justicia Mayor of Corrientes.[11] In 1604 he had received land grants in the Paraná River by Hernando Arias de Saavedra.[12] And in 1608 he was the owner of a farm located on the Riachuelo to the south of the city.[13]

The passage of Burgos (pasaje de Burgos) today Puente Alsina, owes its name to Francisco Pérez de Burgos.[14] During the British invasions of the Río de la Plata, the Burgos passage was crossed by the English troops to enter the city of Buenos Aires.[15]

Francisco Pérez de Burgos also served as Captain of the militia, faithful executor,[16] alcalde and lieutenant governor of the Río de la Plata.[17] In 1614 he was elected regidor and appointed as fiel ejecutor of Buenos Aires, being replaced in that position on July 21 of that year by Francisco García Romero, a politician born in Extremadura.[18] He continued to serve as deputy of the City Council of Buenos Aires until 1616, and died in the same city on July 21, 1617.[19]

The lineage of the Pérez de Burgos family possibly has its origin in Garci Perez de Burgos or Ferrán Pérez de Burgos, a Spanish nobleman from Burgos, who participated in the Conquista of Jerez de la Frontera,[20] and who served as vassal of the Kings of Castile.[21]
