Many of the whites joined in with Alvarado and Castro, and the affair ultimated in the forced exile of the governor; Castro took his place until Alvarado was elected by the _diputacion_. The regular statistics of San Juan cease in 1832, when there were 916 Indians registered.
In 1835, according to the decree of secularization, 63 Indians were "emancipated." Possibly these were the heads of families.
Among these were to be distributed land valued at $5120, live-stock, including 41 horses, $1782, implements, effects, etc., $1467. The summary of statistics from the founding of the Mission in 1797 to 1834 shows 4100 baptisms, 1028 marriages, 3027 deaths.
The largest number of cattle owned was 11,000 in 1820, 1598 horses in 1806, 13,000 sheep in 1816. In 1845, when Pico's decree was issued, San Juan was considered a pueblo, and orders given for the sale of all property except a curate's house, the church, and a court-house.
The inventory gave a value of $8000.
