This article aims to analyze concubinage in the 18th century Sabará district, more specifically in the first half of this century, and does so considering its aspect as a consequence of the will and choice of the subjects involved and not in the spectrum of marginal relations. Within a sociocultural approach, the study comprises the practice of ‘mancebia’ as a result and resulting of the intense and complex process of ‘mestizaje’ processed in Portuguese America. As a source, ecclesiastical debauchery and wills were privileged and helped to think of some of the intricate plots of daily life that resulted in unjustified family arrangements before the authorities of the time, but socially accepted and reproduced within everyday life. ; Este artigo objetiva analisar o concubinato na comarca de Sabará no século XVIII, mais especificamente na primeira metade dessa centúria, e o faz considerando o seu aspecto de consequência da vontade e escolha dos sujeitos envolvidos e não no espectro de relações marginais. Dentro de uma abordagem sociocultural, o estudo compreende a prática da mancebia enquanto resultado e resultante do intenso e complexo processo das mestiçagens processadas na América portuguesa. Como fonte as devassas eclesiásticas e os testamentos foram privilegiados e ajudaram no sentido de pensarmos uma parte das intrincadas tramas do cotidiano que resultaram em arranjos familiares não legitimados perante as autoridades da época, porém, socialmente aceitos e reproduzidos dentro do cotidiano.
