Thank you Manoel. There was a lot of names there. I looked up the occupation or title "Alferes" And it said Ensign. It is curious that the priest wrote "THE ALFERES". As if the person were the only one like a judge or maybe the keeper of a Lighthouse that served as an ensign .
I wonder what that occupation or title that be in the context of the culture at the time?
