Biography

Fernando Linera was born in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, son of Antonio López Linera and Juana María Vázquez. In 1799, he was married in The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral with María Antonia Canaveris (born on June 13, 1774, St. Anthony's day),[3] belonging to the Order of Saint Dominic, daughter of Juan de Canaveris, born in Northern Italy, and Catalina Esparza, daughter of a prominent family of Buenos Aires.[4]

His daughter, Apolinaria Linera Canaveris was born on July 22, 1806, during the British occupation of Buenos Aires. She was baptized as Apolinaria in honor of Apollinaris of Ravenna, being his godparents Benito Méndez Casariego,[5] belonging to a noble Spanish family of Galician origin.[6] His sister, Mercedes Clara Linera Canaveris, was born on August 12, 1807, the anniversary of the reconquest of Buenos Aires. She was baptized the same day being her godfather Miguel Cuyar.[7]

Fernando Linera and family had an active participation in the leather business of the Río de la Plata. In 1797 he had sent from Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos, 486 leathers, to be sold in Buenos Aires.[8]

He also served as a militia officer during the British invasions of the River Plate, taking part in the defense and reconquest of the city, serving as decurion in the 7- Compañía de Asturianos.[9]
