Life
A WOMAN WRITTEN 'JUANA LLERENA' (THE SURNAME COULD ALSO BE READ LLEANA) WHO STOOD GODMOTHER TO TWO BLACK CHILDREN: NOT A KNOWN LERENA, NOT PLACED. The Matriz baptisms of 1 April 1839, both signed by the teniente cura Santos Pagola: Victoria Juan del Corazon de Jesus (negro), born 26 March, son of Antonio Lepillo (cabinda) and Adelaida Villar (liberto/free, 'lo id'), and Ruperto (negro), of unknown parents; both with the same padrinos, 'Juan Dominguez y Juana Llerena'.
Read on
Zoomed once at the plate: the first letters read as a doubled L and the middle as 'ere'/'ea', so the surname is NOT settled. WHAT IT SHOWS: a Juana Llerena (or Lleana) at Montevideo in 1839 standing sponsor in the black community, beside the enslaved Llerena households the register already notes at the Cordon and Matriz (Luciano 1841, Rufina 1842, Atanacia 1842, owner Dona Maria Llerena). No age, no husband, no parents, no tie to Sancho's line; the register has no other Juana of 1839. A lead on one more Llerena woman, nothing merged. The co-godfather Juan Dominguez has no row. NOT in the Fidel / Isidora Izaural search: no Fidel, Isidora or Izaural appears in this book.
