The National Archives index identifies Mathilde (also recorded as Mathilde Nièvres), age 24, as the daughter of Mariag, and names P. Erkens in the manumission entry. The administrative record preserves a maternal link while offering no first-person account of Mathilde’s choices or life after manumission.
