The Curaçao manumission index records freedom for Antonetta, described in the period’s racialized language as a “mulatto girl,” daughter of Lucia. Anna Constantia de Ragiere, widow of Bartholomeus Tribier, paid 100 pesos. The record documents a legal transaction, but it does not tell us what Antonetta thought or what life after manumission was like.
