Historical characters of Milagro: the testament of María Nieves Coello of Portugal

Abstract

This work aims to approach one of the most interesting topics of the Milagro canton, which is historically related to the issues of identity and territoriality of the people from Milagro. In the analysis of the judicial processes on territorial property, there is a trial with a high historical value because it allows to understand territorial and family dynamics that extend to the city of Guayaquil. In this case, the research team found a testamentary document belonging to Mrs. María de las Nieves Coello, which, in addition to being fundamental from a legal point of view in defining the case, also adds a high biographical value to the historical legacy of the Milagro canton.
