Joy, I have no answers to your questions. But I see errors or typos in your theory.
What year was Agostinho Silveira born? You have him being born after his own marriage and after the birth of all his children. You have his first child born before his marriage. Are you sure? Manuel b. 1848 but your Agostinho m. Maria Malaisala in 1852. It did happen, but just checking to see if it was a typo.
