Biography

Giuseppa Ligotino is a Corleone native resident, the daughter of Angelo Ligotino and Maria di Leo. Based on her reported age in the 1766 census, and at her death, Giuseppa is born around 1747. She is named after her maternal grandmother.

In the 1766 stato delle anime, a Church census, her family appears between the hospital and the vanella di Paolo Palazzo. Angelo Ligotino, 59 (b. 1707), his wife Maria, 51 (b. 1715), and their children Rev. Sac. Don Gaspare, 29 (b. 31 Oct 1738), Giuseppa, 19 (b. 1747), Santa, 12 (b. 1754), Gaetano, 10 (b. 1756), and Antonino, 4 (b. 1762).

Giuseppa and Matteo have at least four children: Maria (c. 1771), Biagio (1775), Francesco Paolo (1774), and Matteo (1778).
