  2. Life

    AN ENSLAVED WOMAN WHO CARRIES THE OWNER'S SURNAME: NOT A LERENA BY BLOOD OR RECORD OF HER OWN. The act (teniente cura Carlos Corona, margin 'Atanacia (negra)'): 'el Cadaver de Atanacia Llerena edad veinte y tres anos negra esclava de Da Maria Llerena casada con Manuel Alche (the surname is hard to read) negro libre', buried at the Matriz cemetery on 18 October 1842, so born about 1819. WHAT IT SHOWS: a Dona Maria Llerena kept an enslaved household at Montevideo in 1842.

    The register has no row for her (a second row named Maria Llerena would turn the Uruguay page's name into a search link: the Maria LLERENA row is a Colonia woman, m. Antonio Medero); the owner is named here and nothing ties her to Sancho's widow, Dona Maria Fernandez, or to any other Maria of the name. TIER: PRIMARY for the burial, the surname as written, the owner's name and the husband's status; a lead on a Llerena household, nothing merged. Her husband has no row.
