Vol. I - Francisco FERREIRA DORMONDE e Dona Barbara GATO
8 * 11.5 inches - 558 p.
Papel : 39$
Francisco Ferreira Dormonde lived in the East of the Terceira Island during the first half of the 17th century. He lived in Ribeira Seca, located between São Sebastião and Fonte Bastardo. Starting from São Sebastião and Quatro Ribeiras, the descendants of Francisco Ferreira Dormonde settled in most parishes of the Terceira Island, except the parish of Angra and its neighborhood (São Mateus and São Bento).
The first wife of Francisco Ferreira Dormonde, Dona Barbara Gato, was from a noble family of São Sebastião (cf. Vol. II, D1). Two of their sons have an extensive lineage, mainly in São Sebastião and in its surroundings.
Sebastião Gato Ferreira (§ 2) lived in Arrabalde, a neighborhood of the town of São Sebastião. His daughter, Dona Maria de Andrade (§ 2.4) is at the origin of the family nucleus of Ribeirinha. His grandson, João Ferreira de Ermonde, (§2.2.6) forms the family nucleus of Porto Judeo.
Manoel Machado Dormonde (§ 3) lived in Ribeira Seca and baptized his children in São Sebastião. His son, Manoel Machado de Ormonde (§ 3.8), initiated the family nucleus in Fonte Bastardo, and his daughter, Dona Barbara Gato (§ 3.6) in Santa Barbara. His grandsons, Antônio Machado Ormonde (§ 3.7.3), in São Bartolomeu and Manoel Machado Ormonde (§ 3.7.1) in Lajes.
Vol. II - Francisco FERREIRA DORMONDE e Dona Maria de LEMOS
8 * 11.5 inches - 526 p
Papel : 37$
The second wife of Francisco Ferreira Dormonde, Dona Maria de Lemos also belongs to a noble family of São Sebastião (cf. Vol. II, D2). They had five sons which lived in Quatro Ribeiras where their mother settled with her second husband, Captain Bento Godinho da Costa, with whom she had other children (cf. Vol. II, D2 § 1.2).
The first two children, Mateus and Barnabé, seem to have resided at Angra where they hold various positions in the São João Batista fortress, without leaving descendants. The three others sons had a lot of descendants, specialy José Ferreira de Ormonde (§ 9). Quatro Ribeiras is thus the second largest nucleus of the Ferreira Ormonde family. At the end of the 18th century, almost half of the marriages and baptisms in Quatro Ribeiras relate to a descendant of the last three sons, primarily of José
