Sean, Solteira means Single. It's placed there because the child is born of a single mom. Translation as follows:
Maria daughter of Catarina Inacia, single, daughter of Ana Dutra, widower and Antonio Dias Albernas, deceased, and of father unknown, born December 16th 1788 and baptised on the 22nd day of the same month and year. Godparents: Antonio Dutra da Silveira and Maria da Trindade sister of the said Catarina Inacia. All naturals of this Parish.
