I believe the baptism you found is the one you are looking for. I see it as Jose, son of Joam Teixeira de Quadros and Maria do Rosario. He would have turned 90 3 months before he died and the priest said 89 years old more or less.
Joam and João are the same name (Portuguese equivalent to John). Joam is just an older spelling. It is always João today, but could have been Joam through the about the mid-19th century.
