Aaron P, It's Engracia. They make the handwritten C so big that it looks like an L or F.
Back to the marriage. If it's there, it's a partial fragment and neither Canto (in the 1880s) or Rodrigo Rodrigues (in 1929) could read it. I have the handwritten copy for the Achada marriages. None of the Manuel Silvas matched (if the bride's name didn't crumble away). I looked at all the brides names, and there wasn't a single Josepha/Josefa. There was a Manuel ____ or two and the bride's name was gone. I did type the index up in an Excel spreadsheet. If you're coming to Salt Lake for the Conference in April, I will bring the handwritten index with me.
