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

profession/activities: She became an important Sugar-mill Landlady [Senhora de Engenho] of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, at the end of the 18th century and first half of the 19th century, with her Farm of "Saint Ane of the Guanhães" ["Santa Anna dos Guanhães"], in the district of Saint Sebastian of the Streams [São Sebastião dos Correntes], Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, nowadays city of Sabinópolis, MG, Brazil, which had good intalations and about 60 slaves. Most probably, this farm would had been inheritance from Lucianna Ribeiro de Magalhães, another important Sugar-mill Landlady [Senhora de Engenho] of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, of the last quarter of the 18th century, to the son Carlos Pereira de Sá (son), who, in virtue of the contract of marriage by "arras" [por arras], endowed his wife with this property and also the house at the Above the Mother Churdh Street [Rua de Cima da Matriz], in the ancient Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, later Dr. Simão da Cunha Street [Rua Dr. Simão da Cunha], and nowadays Dr. Luis Advíncula Reis Street [Rua Dr. Luiz Advíncula Reis], of the actual city of Serro, MG, Brazil, a two-stage buillding tha later would be inherited by her daughter Ignez Lidora, and passed to her medical-doctor son to dwell, becoming known by that as "Home of Dr. Simão da Cunha" ["Casa do Dr. Simão da Cunha"], although this had never been its proprietor, because he died very early in 1862, and his mother has survived until 1881. The farm of Lucianna Ribeiro de Magalhães, that certainly was an heritage from Carlos Pereira de Sá (senior), she administered since 1774, or even from some years before, until 1796. From 1797 on, the name of Lucianna Ribeiro de Magalhães no more appears among the list of Sugar-Mill Landlords [Senhores de Engenho] of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, but yes the name of her daughter-in-law, Luiza Victória, making us suppose that this late one had succeeded the former in the administration of the same farm. The name of Luiza Victória is found in records of payments of taxes from 1797 until at least the year of 1824. At the begining she produced sugar-cane brandy [aguardente] sporadically, as she did in the second semester of 1804, when she produced 15 barrels of 8 "canadas" [=2,622 liters], amounting 120 "canadas", and paid the "literary subsidy" ["subsídio litertário"] of 1$200 r.s, or as in the second semester of 1805, when she produced 20 barrels os 8 "canadas", giving the todal of 160 "canadas", and has paid the "literary subsidy" ["subsídio literário"] of 1$600 r.s, at a rate of $010 by "canad". She may have produced in other years, from 1806 till 1814, but we have no records of it. During 10 followed years, in the period of 1815 to 1824 she paid annualy 1$200 r.s, cash, of taxes on the production of sugar-cane brandy [aguardente], i. e., she maintained a steady annual production of 15 barrels of 8 "canadas". This production might have been continued, from 1825 until at least near her death, in 1847, but we have no records of it. In the Census of Saint Sebastian of the Streams [Censo de São Sebastião dos Correntes], MG, Brazil, of 1838, she was qualified as "D. Luiza Vitoria Henrique de Siqueira Ayala, [qualidade=] br.ca [=branca], [estado=] Viuva, [vida=] lavrad. [=lavradora], [idade=] 70 [anos], sabe ler". In the Census of Serro [Censo do Serro], MG, Brazil, of 1838, she was qualified as "Luiza Victoria, sabe [ler e escrever], [idade=] 65 [anos], [qualidade=] Branca, [estado=] Viuva, [emprego=] Cultura".

slaves: Between the years of 1794, and even after her death, that happened in 1847, until the year of 1852, one may find at least 74 references to her slaves or of her assets, being 35 in birth and baptism records, and 28 in death records. One estimate that she reached to have about 70 slaves, distributed between the farm and her home. She donated, in life, a first slave to her daughter Ignez Lidora, on the 20th/Apr/1802, when was baptized "... Luiza filha natural de Fabianna cabra escrava de Dona Luiza Victoria Henrique de Siqueira cuja cria a dita Senhora mandou Baptizar por Captiva de Ignez que foi exposta em casa do Reverendo Francisco de Salles Pereira ...", and two slaves to Demétrio, the first one on the 13th/Apr/1803, the slave "... Joaq.m f.o natural de Valeria cabra escrava ...", when Luiza Victória "... determinou q' a d.a criança fosse baptizada por escravo de hum engeitado que tem em sua companhia por nome Demetrio ...", and another slave on the 17/Dec/1810, when was baptized "... Gaspar filho natural de Valeriana Cabra escrava de Dona Luisa Victoria de Siqueira ..." ...

As total, Demétrio inherited 20 slaves, while Ignez Lidora inherited 21 slaves. Other 14 went to the "Third" ["Terça"].
