I am going to send you a few from Ponta Garca that I traced to Vila Franca
with very similar names, Gomes, Baltazar, Fontes and Melo, all from, or
with links to Santa Maria about the same time period. You never know, it
might help and I think they are related, although it may not be immediately.
BARTOLOMEU DE1 FONTES was born in NS Assumpciao- Ilha de St Maria, res
Vila Franca, and died Bef. 13 Dec 1711. He married MARIA DE MATOS. She
was born in Vila Franca de Campo- Matriz, and died Bef. 13 Dec 1711.
Children of BARTOLOMEU FONTES and MARIA MATOS are:
2. i. BELCHIOR2 GOMES, b. NS Assumpciao- Ilha de St Maria.
BELCHIOR GOMES* (B**ARTOLOMEU* *DE*1* F**ONTES**)* was born in NS
Assumpciao- Ilha de St Maria. He married MARIA DE MATOS 21 Jul 1715 in
Vila Franca do Campo- Matriz, daughter of TOME COSTA and FRANCISCA MATOS.
She was born in Vila Franca de Campo- Matriz. (This record states Maria de
Mattos (th mother) cc Bartolomeu Fontes is native VFSM)
3. ii. BALTAZAR GOMES DE MELO, b. Abt. 1676, NS
Assumpciao- Ilha de St Maria, res Vila Franca & PG; d. 10 Nov 1754, Ponta
Garca- NS da Piedade.
BALTAZAR GOMES DE MELO* (B**ARTOLOMEU* *DE*1* F**ONTES**)* was born Abt.
1676 in NS Assumpciao- Ilha de St Maria, res Vila Franca & PG, and died 10
Nov 1754 in Ponta Garca- NS da Piedade. He married ANTONIA DE MATOS 13 Dec
1711 in Vila Franca do Campo- Sao Miguel, daughter of FRANCISCO COSTA and A
NTONIA MATOS. She was born in Vila Franca de Campo- Matriz, and died Bef.
10 Nov 1754.
