Appendix

289 Appendix Chief Executives of Guam 1668–2007 By Date of Accession Sources: Hojas de Servicio, Capitulo XXXII, Simancas, Valladolid, 1894; AHPA E-I-C5 (g) 1894; Lévesque (2000, Vol. 19); Official U.S. Navy Reports, 1899–1950; and contemporary media, 1950–2006. For reports translated into English of certain Spanish governors’ tenures, see Driver and Brunal-Perry (1996); Driver (2000, 2006). Note: There were several kinds of acting and interim governors. Some acting governors are not listed because their tenures were very brief. Spanish interim governors were often assigned by Manila, at times as sargento mayor, until Madrid appointed a regular governor. Spellings of Spanish names sometimes varied.
