Source Notes
El 13 de agosto de 1701 vuelve a zarpar de Cádiz como capitana de la Flota de Azogues que es puesta al mando de D. Fernando Chacón Medina y Salazar, siendo la almiranta el navío o galeón "Santa María de Tézanos" de la Armada del Mar Océano, y otro buque mercante. Llegan a Veracruz, después de una escala en Puerto Rico, el 30 de octubre de 1701, desembarcando 8.151 quintales de azogue.

El 14 de noviembre se perdió la nave almiranta, uniéndose el "San Juan Bautista" a la Flota de Indias de D. Manuel de Velasco. En septiembre de 1702 entraron en la ría de Vigo, perdiéndose ante el ataque de la escuadra anglo-holandesa
