I did some work on the Faria's of Ribeira Grande, Maia and Sao Pedro de RG. Almost all the Faria's I have encountered from PG, VF, Maia, Achada and few others, come from RG or SP RG. The exceptions I know of are from Nordeste- the Faria de Teve- and the Faria de Maia, lines which are a prominent and wealthy and well documented in RR. The more common lines appear to arise independently in RG and SP-RG. Having said this, there are probably many more from other villages. Curiously enough, I did not encounter a Teresa de Faria. Perhaps she goes by another name as well.
If anyone is researching Faria in later times in Sao Miguel- 1900-1800, watch out for name corruptions. I have seen Faria turned into Farias and Frias and vice versa. So be mindful of that.
