Thank you John and Celeste for your very helpful information.

Francisco Ferreira Drummond, son of Francisco de Figueiroa and Violante de Utra Machado, §2 Nº7, was born in Madeira c. 1580, went to Terceira and established himself in Ribeira Seca, Vila de S. Sebastião, where he died in 1645. He was the tax collector for the customs house in Praia from 1634 and served as a judge in 1616, ’27, ’31 and ’40. He married twice: Bárbara Gato (Machado §3 Nº5) by whom he had 8 children; and Maria de Lemos (Lemos §3 Nº5) by whom he had 5 children. Relative to his parents, there is no documented connection to the Drummonds of Madeira, although they are accepted as connected to this family given the singular nature of the name which would not be used unless there was a connection. The claim of a connection to the Drummonds of Scotland by way of Madeira was made by their descendant Francisco Ferreira Drummond (Annaes da Ilha Terceira, V. 1, p. 467 and Nobiliário da Ilha da Terceira, p. 308) If you need further information, please contact me privately.   John Miranda Raposo marra...@yahoo.com ________________________________ From: rondo ranch To: azores group Sent: Monday, May 27, 2013 1:02 PM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Francisco Ferreira Drummond of Sao Sebastiao Terceira I'm looking for information on Francisco Ferreira Drummond, who lived in Sao Sebastiao, Terceira but was born in approx 1580 in Madeira. He died in 1645.  He had children with Dona Barbara Gato Machado.  I did a on-line search and noticed that several people in this group a few year back were looking for information on him too.  I was wondering what they had found.  Thank yo for your help.
