Thank you all for the insights and help! William - i believe below is the second marriage to Mariana de Freitas you are referring to. I have not found his first marriage yet but believe they had at least one child, Antonio from other records I have come across. http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FLR-LF-FAJAZINHA-C-1767-1833/FLR-LF-FAJAZINHA-C-1767-1833_item1/P98.html
Bill - I have found his birth record in S. Pedro of Ponte Delgado, Flores below and he was born Oct 31, 1739, so not near Palm Sunday. http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-B-1727-1757/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-B-1727-1757_item1/P54.html His parents are Joao Pimentel and Maria de Almeide? (abbreviated to Almda) and their marriage record is: http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-C-1675-1801/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-C-1675-1801_item1/P90.html I cannot make out the parent(s) listed for João - might end in George - can anyone decipher that name?
