In the meantime, I in part settled myself here; for, first of all, I married, and that not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction, and had three children, two sons and one daughter; but my wife dying, and my nephew coming home with good success from a voyage to Spain, my inclination to go abroad, and his importunity, prevailed, and engaged me to go in his ship as a private trader to the East Indies; this was in the year 1694.
Mientras tanto, me había asentado parcialmente en este lugar pues, en primer lugar, me casé, para mi bien y mi felicidad, y tuve tres hijos: dos hijos y una hija. Habiendo muerto mi esposa, llegó mi sobrino de un exitoso viaje a España.
