I think you are correct that it is Freitas. It looks like the same name/abbreviation for the father (Fran.co Jose Fr.tas, line 10) the paternal grandfather (Jose Fran.co Fr.tas, line 13) and padrinho (Manuel Jose Fr.tas, line 15)
It is spelled out on the bottom for the padrinho as Manuel + Jose Freitas.
