Note 68 — Chapter XLIII

Fray Juan Gallegos was a native of Mancha, and took his vows in the convent at Burgos. He was Ilocan minister at the town of Narvacán (1620) and Laoag (1623). He refused an appointment (1625) as procurator to Spain and Rome, preferring to devote himself to his ministry. He was at Bantay in 1626 and 1630; at the villages of Candón in 1629, 1635, and 1644; and Bauang in 1633. He was subprior in 1617, and twice definitor and visitor, dying in 1648 at Candón. See Pérez’s Catálogo, p. 94. He is to be distinguished from the other Augustinian religious of the same name who died while definitor in 1581.
