Ed, try Achada (sometimes called Achada Grande). However, Achada's records are in real bad shape and my not take you back that far. Achada is online at the CCA site.
If you don't find them in Achada (or the records don't go back far enough), then I think your only hope is that they were recorded in Carlos Machado's genealogies or in the Rodrigo Rodrigues books.
