This Jmo bothered me for quite a while. Jmo usually stands for Jeronimo, and Jo. for Joam or Joao. But in early Nordeste, it seems to indicate Joao. It didn't make sense to me, why abbreviate for one letter? Anyway, the obito states he left a will with provisions for numerous prayers, and various donations. His wife Francisca Manoel, is the executor. If you continue to search and study the obitos, you may get lucky and find his siblings named their father. It will say something like this, he or she was buried in the grave of their father or ancestor, and then name them.
