The aim of this research was to study the poor population, both free and urban, of the Village of Taubaté in the end of century XVIII and beginning of XIX, analyzing the experience of the common family of Anna Ferreira Albernas. We attempted to relate the experience of this family to the moment Taubaté was going through, with the introduction of the coffee plantation in the region. Such fact caused great economic, social and cultural transformations in the village and its inhabitants, particularly influencing the lifestyle of the poor population. Through the study of this family, it was possible to observe the conditions of survival of the poor layer of the population in the end of the colonial period and to understand the arrangements which were necessary for these people to guarantee their maintenance. We attempted to identify their occupations, incomes, family formation and domiciles, mainly the ones led by women, as it could be found in a significant part of the houses in Taubaté. By joining the economic, demographic and spatial information of the village to the information on the family of Anna Albernas and the other female domiciles, we were able to reassemble some fragments of the panorama lived by this less wealthy layer of the population and to point out their presence in the urban space of the Village of Taubaté, at a time of great generation of wealth in the region
