The death record for my 6th great grandfather documents him and seven other men who on 20 October 1759, died in a shipwreck. I been trying to find information on shipwrecks in the Azores and haven't found anything. Does anyone know of any book or sites on this subject? Also, on his birth record his mother is documented as a "free woman." I have never seen this this phrase used in any other records. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this term used. I've attached both records in a word documents as well as the transcription and summary translation. Maria
