Excerpt: ... APPENDIX VII Table Showing The Populatton Bt Dtstrtcts Of Sinaloa And Sonoka Tn 1781 The status of settlements in Sinaloa and Sonora was a fact of great importance at all times in its bearing on matters of northwestward advance. In the table following there appears for the year 1781, an important date in the history of Spanish conquest in the dtrection of Alta California, more complete data than is usually available for the eighteenth century. The table shows not only the total population, but also its distribution by districts, distinguishing, too, according to sex, and as between adults and children. The figures may be taken to include the entire Christian population, without distinction as to blood, but they probably did not include unconverted Indians. The table appears in paragraph 227 of Teodoro de Croix's long memorial of October 30, 1781, (C-4430) of which the original is in A.G.I., 103-4-24. This table is referred to in chapter XVIII.
