education/formation: She would have the "First Letters" ["Primeiras Letras"].

profession/activities: She was an important Sugar-Mill Landlady [Senhora de Engenho], of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, in the last quarter of the 18th century. We found many tithe credits in her name, in the year of 1771, indicating that in this year she was already running her farm and paying the taxes in her own name. In the year of 1774, she did already her "manifest of brandies" ["manifesto das aguardentes"], and declared that her Sugar-Mill [Engenho] had not produced in the first semester of the year, what makes us believe that her husband died in one of the previous years. These "manifests" ["manifestos"] continued being made by her, through her procurators, until the year of 1796, after what we does not find her name any more, making us suppose that she had alienated the property or that she had died. It is licit to suppose that this same property had been inherited by the son, Captain (Ordenança) Carlos Pereira de Sá (son), and that he gave it to her wife, Luiza Victória de Siqueira Henriques da Ayalla, another Sugar-Mill Landlady [Senhora de Engenho] of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, because the "manifests" ["manifestos"] of the property in the name of Luiza Victória initiated soon in the immediate and following year, of 1797, and they continued by a good part of the 19th century. In the year of 1780, we find at least three payments of the Royal Extration of Diamonds [Real Extração dos Diamantes], of the Tejuco Village [Arraial do Tejuco], MG, Brazil, in her name, so included as "millwoman" ["moleira"] [=dona de moinho], or furnisher of flours, cereals and utensils, by meanns of "B.e [=bilhete] a favor de Luciana Ribeyra": on the 1st/Jan/1780, by the selling of "832 Bateyas a 30", received "39 [oitavas de ouro]", on 16th/Apr/1780, by the selling of "656 Bateyas a 30", received "30 [oitavas de ouro] ¾", and on 1st/Sep/1780, by the selling of "41 [alqueires] of bean by ½", received "20 [oitavas de ouro] ½".
