Ramos, EulaliaBiography:
Born Tocuyo, Venezuela in 1802, in October 1819 she was reported as having runaway from her owner, Pedro Miguel Goicochea, in Puerto Cabello. She is described as aged 17, zamba in colour, low stature and with a scar on her arm, a result of a burn. Goicochea asks for her return and says that he will reimburse all expenses incurred. (Gaceta de Caracas, 27/10/1819, p.2118)
Could this be the same Lorenza who attacked Eulalia Ramos Sánchez?
