I think that you have mostly "tropa de linha", iine soldier. According to what you have said he must have had a military carreer or at least he served his full term.

I have found my 3rd great grandfather's obito in Maia, Ribeira Grande, 1884. It is image #7, #17 for Felicianno de Mello: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-MAIA-O-1880-1889/SMG-RG-MAIA-O-1880-1889_item1/P98.html I need help with the phrase after his name. It starts veterano _______ de linha. Second word looks like "catropa". I know that he was a soldier in a battalion on the island from records from the 1830s, so I assume that this is what it refers to.
