I have a SOUZA from Sao Jorge who came to US before 1860. Daniel Machado Souza, who always used the name "Charlie Coleman" for reasons that I have never discovered, was a "mariner" or sailor that census tell me was in US by 1860. I first located him and his child bride (age 14 with their first son born RI) in an 1875 census of Providence, RI. His young bride was from Flores. I only learned his real name from RC church cemetery records (a family request for movement of his grave). He was born about 1835.
