Mariano Lazcano or Lescano (c.1770–1840s) was an Argentine politician, notary and accountant of the Aduana of Buenos Aires.[1] He had outstanding performance as a government official during the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, serving in the Real Aduana of Buenos Aires, presided by Justo Pastor Lynch.[2]

Biography

Mariano Lazcano was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, son of Antonio Lazcano and María Isabel Sánchez,[3] belonging to an Uruguayan patrician family dedicated to trade and government.[4] He began his studies in Buenos Aires and was a graduate of notary and accountant in the University of Saint Francis Xavier.[5]

After finishing his studies he began to work as an official at the aduana of the city. In 1805, Lazcano was appointed official 4° of the accountancy of the customs by Justo Pastor Lynch, the Contador Mayor of Real Aduana de Buenos Aires.[6] Later in 1807, he was named as officer 1°, serving as an accountant and notary until 1815.[7]

Lezcano was also participated in the defense and reconquest of Buenos Aires, during the British invasions of the River Plate.[8] In 1810 he was incorporated into the Regimiento de Caballería de la Patria, where he served for a brief period as sergeant.[9]

Like other political personalities of that time he was an assiduous reader. In 1817, he obtained a copy of Impreso sobre los seis últimos meses de la América y del Brasil, written by Dominique-Georges-Frédéric Dufour de Pradt.[10]

Mariano Lazcano married on September 14, 1796 with María Dominga Canaveris, sister of the Third Order of Saint Dominic, daughter of Juan de Canaveris, an official of Provencal and Piedmontese roots, and Bernarda Catalina de Esparza, belonging to illustrious Creole families of Buenos Aires.[11]

He and his wife were parents of numerous children born between 1800 and 1817, including Dorotea Lazcano, goddaughter of Rafael Ferreyra,[12] and Mariana Romana Josefa Lazcano, goddaughter of Mariano Gache y Escalase (Santander, Spain)[13] and Joaquina Juliana de Avellaneda Fonseca.[14]

After the abolition of the Court of Accounts of Buenos Aires, Mariano Lazcano integrated a commission of accounting with the former members of the Court.[15] Possibly Mariano Lazcano was a descendant of Domingo de Lazcano, a Government Notary who had an active participation in the Río de la Plata, during the first years of the 18th century.[16]
