remember and remember the names of these three women, Ana de Matos (Luján), wife of Marcos de Sequeira, Maria Cabezas (Pilar) spouse of Francisco Gomez de Saravia and Maria Eugenia Tapia (Belén de Escobar), wife of José Antonio Cruz.
afincamiento From the first people in the campaign included the presence of certain religious orders, this did not prevent the inside of each house there is a particular cult. The vast Catholic faith of these families, their isolation and lack of a nearby Christian profess their devotion did they worship different images.
The considerable distance that separated the Church in some places densely villages in the parish, was the subject of that over the years Vicecuratos erected therein for the best care for worship service. One of these was that of Our Lady of Pilar, which originally served as a chapel built Church "at the expense of a particular" near the right bank of the River Lujan.
Da. Maria Cabezas retained a small replica of the Blessed Virgin Mary with baby Jesus on her arm, a vision embodied in Our Lady of the Pillar and it is likely that the first chapel was erected in his own home as document states: "... in 1700 had established forts at a place called \u0026lt;Luján Arrow> to defend against invasions of the Indians and in that place, the first population center. In 1729, a neighbor of the site, María Cabezas, wife of Francisco Gomez, who had an image of the Virgin of Pilar, was proposed to worship publicly in a chapel built of mud brick and thatched roof, near the right bank Luján River, has requested authorization of the bishop of Buenos Aires and once granted the chapel was dedicated to the Virgin of Pilar, being attended by a priest sent by the people Lujan to celebrate holidays trades " (23).
Maria Cabezas then a widow, not only donated the statue of the Virgin, also gave a plot of his property for the construction of the Chapel (24) , which once enabled began serving as a parish to help the parish of Luján created in 1730 (25) .
Cabezas Maria died in 1737 and is buried with low cross in the Chapel of Pilar (26) . After his death another portion of their land became the property of the Church, according to the transfer took place on March 13, 1749, the date on which Fray Pablo del Aguila and Rivers, of the Royal and Military Order Our Lady of Mercy, Captain Gerardo Pérez sold a plot of 250 yards in front of the Luján river bottom for 9,000 yards, clear in that order " you belong and thoughtless burial costs incurred during the funeral and other funeral that imported sixty-two pesos and four reales to be Pastor satisfy the heirs as it was at that time in the Capilla del Pilar and not covered despite being challenged by the space of nine to ten years " (27) .
A protest to this sale of D. Juan de Melo, who in a letter sent in July 1752 the Provincial Mayor the Holy Brotherhood, states: "... death I enter my in-laws and all my brothers in hereditary possession of some land to stay where we are all situated, as well as the Chapel of Our Blessed Mother of the Pilar, for donation to the plant that made my mother and all consists of both testaments of those who stop dead in my possession and has come to my notice that the RP Fray Pablo Nuño Eagle has sold Lt. Gerardo Pérez hundred yards of this land into account rights without the consent or agreement of the parties .. . " (28) .
The buyer was married to Maria Gomez, daughter of Francisco and Maria Cabezas mentioned. In 1799, Gomez's heirs claimed membership of these lands and the Cura del Pilar D. Luis Antonio Tagle, as Trustee Village followed a lawsuit against the heirs of Perez; lawsuit ended when the House of Justice will recognize the latter the right to 222 ½ yards, of which 150 yards were sold in 1862 Insúa Toribio and the rest is for the Parish (29) .

Another area adjacent to a surface similar to the previous one, known as "virgin lands" belonged to the Church as a gift to make D. Isidro Cornejo. In the soil there was the ancient cemetery then became the property of the City (30) .
Cabezas Mary's will could not be found and therefore they ignore the details of your last will of one who has the distinction of being the manager of the town of Pilar through a religious veneration . The absence of this testimony did not bring any significant inconvenience to get to know Other details of his life. From his marriage to Francisco Gómez de Saravia were born nine children:
1) Francisco Gómez, spouse of Maria Leon.
2) Juana Gómez, married to Nicolas Gomez de Saravia, son of Miguel Gómez de Saravia and Gregoria Díaz Caballero.
3) José Gómez.
4) Micaela Gómez, José Seco first married and remarried to Bernard Seco, son of the Chilean Pedro Seco and Sabina Gómez Sosa and Feo.
5) Lucas Gómez.
6) Maria Gomez, Gerardo married Perez de la Rosa, son of Diego Perez de Solis y Mendoza and Maria de la Rosa Lima or Gil.
7) Pascuala Gómez, consort of Joseph Jerome Pereira Bocanegra.
8) Maria Josefa Gomez, Francisco Javier possible wife of the Saints.
9) Maria Gomez, who married Juan de Melo Cabral, son of Captain Diego de Melo Cabral and Magdalena Martín Hernández Saravia (31) .

8) Maria Josefa Gomez, Francisco Javier possible wife of the Saints.
9) Maria Gomez, who married Juan de Melo Cabral, son of Captain Diego de Melo Cabral and Magdalena Martín Hernández Saravia (31) .
With the exception of Joseph and Luke, all such marriages left descendants. Da. Mariana Gómez died on August 20, 1765 and is buried the next day. In the game of his burial Cura Lieutenant Fray Pedro Pablo Reynoso makes an interesting and documented evidence by which we learn that "... no judge made a will or inventory increased by no more real than the land where he lived , and is buried in the Church with high cross at the request of her husband, who was forced to pay parochial rights were 27 pesos after he sold the land, and the breaking of the grave was given the grace to be daughter who donated the statue of Our Lady of Pilar and the land where the chapel is made " (32) .
Days later, on September 11 is buried the body of Juan de Melo, although there is substantial variation in the letter that certifies his death, because they had repeated the same concepts in the previous record, stands the promise made by his son D. Fermín Jufré. .. to pay the fees to the Church, after selling the land where the deceased lived " (33) .
In both cases who certifies the items will say who did. Da instead. Juana Ventura Melo Their daughter had a different opinion about it and a statement by the land dispute says "is not true what was written by Fray Pedro Pablo Reynoso, who had the distinguished ability to seize and hide in that file the will , receipts and other papers of Don Juan de Melo who were in a bag and he asked him to Pedro Ponce de León, Trustee at the time of the Church, where they were kept after death for payment Melo burial rights. As Melo was executor of D. Francisco Gomez, were also held his own and other's will proof " (34) .
The claim made by the heir Juana Ventura Melo leads to a report by the ecclesiastical notary D. Thomas Basabe, which is dated February 24, 1799 and which certifies: " be true that in the file of the Church are several documents and papers that prove right to the land of Don Francisco Gómez stay, such as several receipts for the years 1705, 1706, 1707 and 1708, purchases of land and stay Labayen Espinosa, another 1708 to for D. Juan Melo Cabral stay land situated in the Capilla del Pilar Cordero purchased . is also a grant from the Cure Dr. D. Francisco Javier Navarro for the shrine of 55 pesos which imported the funeral of D. Juan Melo Cabral and Da. Mariana Gómez, assigned to the lands where the Church is dated 1767. Is also a certificate of Cura Navarro and a decree of the Provincial Mayor against the sale of land made by Fray Pablo del Aguila D. Gerardo Perez, plus a donation of Da. Josefa Gómez for the Shrine of the land and rights you have and can have as rightful heir of his grandfather D. Francisco Gómez " (35) . These documents have been lost and it is our suspicion that they also may be in the hands of any individual.

Franciscan Father Pedro José de Parras, has in the "Journal of Travel and Pilot book which arrived in Buenos Aires from Cadiz in June 1749, after a trip he made from Saragossa goodbye to the Virgin of Pilar, patroness of their chosen tasks, jobs and pilgrimages. Here he stayed in the convent of the collection. On 3 November, after singing a Mass at the Virgen del Pilar, left for the provinces of Corrientes and Misiones. Passing through San Isidro stayed home of Captain Fermin Weigle, who is "my friend."
The visit lasted until day 8, the date on which the Commissioner reached the Holy Land with a cart, tent and horses. In the afternoon came to pass the Conchas River (now Reconquista) and stay in a place near the residence of D. Pedro López, distant three leagues from the fifth Weigle.
Following the path of travel through reading the newspaper, the Parras father continues his story and says: "... the next day very slowly straighten Luján crossed the river a distance of five miles from where we stayed here all night and day 10, being the stormy weather and not have any details to expedite the journey. The day 11 that is the festival of San Martin, patron of the city of Buenos Aires, said Mass in a chapel of Our Lady of Pilar is referred immediately to the river ... ".
This was not the only visit he made to the Chapel Parras del Pilar, in 1750 traveled to Córdoba by the "old way", on this new tour stops in his diary: " ... on 6 October stood at the cottage of Captain Pessoa, where I stopped to 10 the morning when my secretary arrived with three young men and 40 horses, some mules and went that evening by the house of Pedro Lopez, in a beautiful meadow where we put the awning or tent and spent the afternoon happily, measuring the days we had to do to Cordoba, regulating the trip with the best possible comfort and pause. The day we went six leagues 11 to a village called Pillar, as the Blessed Virgin of Pilar head of its church in which we said Mass the next day and then proceeded to the Rio de Areco ... " (36) .

Having grown the number of neighbors, in 1750 the chapel was erected Viceparroquia Luján and was appointed Deputy Cura Juan Isidro Illescas (37) had Luján was chaplain from 1731 to 1737 (38) and, in brief, from 1741 in Pilar (39) . Before assuming this responsibility on 1 April of that year, made an inventory which allows the construction details, form, style and ornament of the chapel at the time.
records goods and ornaments of the chapel were made by order of the Ecclesiastical Cabildo of Buenos Aires with the assistance of appointed Illescas, the steward of the Chapel D. Juan Ponce de Leon, Judge of the Provincial Mayor Constable D. Manuel de Pinazo Escobal and witnesses D. Bartolomé Gutiérrez de Paz, D. Francisco Leon, D. Juan de la Cruz and D. Cabot Joaquin Montaner (40) .
The land where he was the parish was a pasture surrounded by clubs composed of a block square. Front of the temple was a cross as 8 yards high with steps made of brick, like the building, parts with mud and other with a mass of lime and sand, while its roof, gables and gable was supported by seven straps that made a long of 21 yards by 6 ½ yards wide.

En la parte superior se encontraba la imagen de Nuestra Señora del Pilar con su corona de plata y el niño Jesús en uno de sus brazos. En otra parte del altar mayor se hallaba un Señor crucificado de madera, dos ángeles de bulto, una cruz pintada de verde y dorada por sus orillas con su respectiva peana, unas sesenta estampas, un nicho de una vara de alto con cerradura y llave de plata, forrado interiormente con cortinas amarillas de lama de oro y sobre él una efigie de Nuestra Señora del Rosario adornada con su arco de flores.
Una mesa del mismo tamaño que la anterior estaba destinada para otro altar en el cual se colocaba un Señor crucified for 1 yard and a third high, with a drawer for the development of Good Friday. Of the side walls hung all the pictures of the Via Crucis, lit by chandeliers mud.
completed the interior of the chapel, two seats that served as seating for persons of distinction, a cedar pulpit with stairs decorated with the figure of the Virgin of Our Lady of Pilar and Santo Cristo metal, two confessionals, a choir stand and two altar, a table stand to place the cruets, a baptismal font, six clay lamps to light the Lord, six brass candlesticks and many other tin mirrors, rugs, blankets, curtains, drapes, veils, and luxurious linens from different species and any evidence relating to worship too numerous to list, in addition to the clothing which included vestments, albs, capes and other garments.
The sacristy was 6 yards long and about 3 yards wide with its gate and beside a corridor. The roof was supported on five pillars and out the front door was cross the main access to the Chapel, also included some of the rooms living room where the chaplains (41) .
If we analyze the building characteristics of this chapel and its decoration components from Europe, we notice that there had to lift a project, a budget and a series of unforeseen delays and procedures adopted this management was a need for hand a specialized developer, realize the transfer of materials and then the stage of construction, details that take time.
Its existence is attested in the census of 1744 (42) therefore its antiquity goes back beyond that year, remember that the original chapel was made of adobe and thatch, while in this building bricks were used together with a mixture of lime and sand for your walls and tiles to cover your roof, a situation that reinforces the assumption that the first Chapel or oratory itself was in da house. Maria Cabezas.
All these questions and assumptions we can say that have been clarified with the discovery or rather the recovery of church documents, remain hidden and in foreign hands for many years and its disclosure can take a step forward in reconstructing the history of the Party Pilar. We will see in these documents the first Chapel was build in 1731 by the lieutenant and then captain Don José López de Quiroga, after obtaining permission of the Bishop Fray Juan de Arregui to beg for the plant's temple.
will know the steps taken during the year 1740 by D. Diego de Melo and D. Juan Nicolás de la Cruz to move the chapel and to erect new buildings at the site and opposition from neighbors for this task due to distance.
The rebuilding and donation of the Chapel by D. Juan Ponce de Leon, Butler appointed perpetual pattern and other details involved with the story of these writings that we transcribe in the next chapter.
