Before 1800s, the regular Portuguese surname form (maternal+paternal) was not the standard form. We can find any combination: maternal+paternal, paternal+maternal, only paternal, only maternal, grandparents's surnames. There's usually surnames in honor to grandparents or uncles/aunts. It's very common to repeat the name of grandmothers, for example. For example, I have an ancestor Apolonia Dias Pereira in Sao Roque/Pico, and she had many granddaughters Apolonia Dias Pereira, who had homonym granddaughters, making this name cross many generations intact. After 1800s there's very few examples of children receiving godparents' surnames.

Joana da Ressurreição daughter of João de Quadros "Pereira" The P.ra is short form and could be something either than Pereira, perhaps someone else in the group will be able to confirm, & Maria Machado of Beira, Santa Anna, S. Jorge. It does not make reference of consanguinity (blood relation). Best, Margaret Vicente.
