  2. Life

    AN ENSLAVED MAN WHO CARRIES THE OWNER'S SURNAME: NOT A LERENA BY BLOOD OR RECORD OF HIS OWN, AND NOT FIDEL. The margin reads 'Luis Llerena'; the body gives him as nacion Congo, 'negro esclavo de Dn Pedro Antonio Llerena, vecino del Cordon', baptised in urgent need (agua de socorro) on the 14th of that month and buried at the Cordon on 28 January 1829 by Benito Alonso Covian. TIER: the act is PRIMARY for the burial and for the owner's name and place.

    WHAT IT SHOWS: a Don Pedro Antonio Llerena kept a household at the Cordon in January 1829; the match to Sancho's son Pedro Antonio (row 'Pedro Antonio LERENA (son of Sancho)') is by NAME AND PARISH ONLY, so it is a CANDIDATE, NOT A TIE, and nothing is merged. Found walking the Cordon burial book for Fidel; no Fidel in it.
