Hi Trisha, You need to do more research in the U.S. to figure out which island they were from. Then the freguesia (like a village). Everything is organized on a town level there. Here's a how-to for starters: http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/research-aids-a---l/finding-your-portuguese/
If you happen to find him coming to America on the American arrival records, some will tell you where he's from (depends on the time period). Then you'll be able to skip the step above. Good luck and happy hunting!
