Hi, Roselyn, Talk about a small world, or at least a tight little
island ;-)))
Capitam [Captain] BENTO JOSÉ DE AZEVEDO MACHADO and Dona MICAELLA
JOAQUIM DE BETTENCOURT had a son Capitam Comandante JOAQUIM ISIDORO DA
SILVEIRA MACHADO, baptized in Topo, SJ., who was one of my 3G-
grandfathers!!! Thus I was keenly motivated to take a whack at
interpreting your finding.

For reference, here are my transcription of the original text plus my
English translation of the baptismal record of one of Bento and
Micaella's granddaughters, Maria Cândida de Noronha, who was my great-
great-grandmother. Perhaps these items can help you to tease out
further details:
