Biography

Lorenza was born about 1782. She is the daughter of Pedro Gaspar and Petrona Antonia. ^[1]

The baptism record of her brother Ventura states that they were "Indios originarios" (indigenous people living in their original communities) from the Ayllu of Chayantacas, living in Chayanta, Potosí in the Spanish Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata (today Chayanta, Bolivia). ^[2]

The family moved to La Plata (today Sucre, Bolivia), where Lorenza married Manuel Gonzales Espada in 1797. ^[1] Their children included:

• Manuel, b. 5 Jan 1798 ^[3]
• Manuel, b. 8 Jul 1799 ^[4]
• Ilario, b. 14 Jan 1801 ^[5]
• José Bruno, b. 6 Oct 1802 ^[6]
• Torivia, b. 27 Apr 1808 ^[7]
• Cayetano, b. 7 Ago 1810 ^[8]
• Andres, b. 30 Nov 1811 ^[9]

Around 1801, Lorenza started using the surname Ramos. She is mentioned as Lorenza Ramos in a public deed from 26 Nov 1801. ^[10] The last known document that refers to her as Lorenza Gaspar is the baptism record of her child José Bruno from 6 Oct 1802. ^[6]

Lorenza passed away on 2 Jul 1812 and was buried at the church of the convent of San Agustin in La Plata. ^[11]
