Biographical details

Of Venezuelan origin, she was born in 1802, possibly in Guayaquil. She was living in Guayaquil in 1815. Her Spanish-born father, Pedro Morlas, supported independence. It was supposedly on a whim of 13 year-old Isabel to hold the dance at which the patriots hatched the October conspiracy. Shortly afterwards she married 36 year-old León de Febres Cordero and they moved to Venezuela. (Estrada, 45)
