Thank you Margaret. I went to the birth records for Ribieras, Pico and finally found her record; she was born in 1722 which made her 46 at the time of her death - certainly a far cry from 60! http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-LJ-RIBEIRAS-B-1697-1731/PIC-LJ-RIBEIRAS-B-1697-1731_item1/P205.html Right side, top. Again, thank you for your help.
