Manuela LERENA (b. in AFRICA; Sarandi 229, 1850)
SIXTY YEARS OLD, AND THE PADRON GIVES HER PATRIA AS AFRICA. Entered at casa 229 of Calle Sarandi in 1850 as 'Manuela D.o', the ditto carrying the surname LERENA, and recorded CASADA. Born about 1790, she would have been carried across the Atlantic as a child or a young woman, and she is the oldest person in the house by twenty years. She is the first African-born person this archive has been able to NAME in connection with this family - the others are known only as 'Barbara, esclava', or by a forename on a baptism. Her married state means there is a husband somewhere in this padron or in the parish registers. Nothing about her condition is claimed from a census that has no column for it; what would settle it is a parish act.
No record here names a parent, spouse, child or sibling for this person. This archive calls that unplaced: held, named, shown with the record that produced them, and not tied to a household on anything less.
