A census of the Chama Valley listed enslaved people by estate and recorded marriages, children, and family ties. It also noted spouses living in Mérida or on another property, showing how ownership and geography could divide families. The named record includes African-origin identifiers and locally born children, but its census form counts people under estate holders rather than capturing their own testimony.
