Hi Jeremy, After a couple whaling voyages, he ultimately settled in upstate New York. Unfortunately, I have never found an actual birthday in U.S. records - just an estimation for the birth year. The federal and state census records are fairly consistent in giving his year of birth around 1800. However, the newspaper notice of his death suggested he was born in 1795. And a whaling crew manifest put his year of birth around 1814. So there is quite a span of time he could have been born in.
At the moment, I am considering that he could be the Antonio born on 29 Oct 1803 to Manuel de Souza de Almada and Ana de Jesus de Matos (found on image 152 of Norte Grande Baptisms 1799-1810). Also, maybe you can help me with this: next to the record, it says it was extracted on 2 Jan 1826 - if I translated that correctly. Any idea what that could mean? Anyway, if you ever find anything in your research of Sao Jorge that could be a clue for Antonio de Almada, please keep me in mind. Chase On Wednesday, August 16, 2017 at 8:32:06 PM UTC-4, Jeremy G.
