That is difficult to say, but in Matriz da Estrela, (Ribeira Grande) the first recorded marriage is in 1542 (so the bridal couple would have been born about 1520 +/-; the first baptism recorded was in 1541. We know that Francisco Moniz Furtado and his wife Guiomar Pacheco were adults living in Fenais da Ajuda in 1617. Their daughter was married in 1627 so she might have been born around 1605, her parents in 1580 and Marquesa Almeida would have been born around 1555 at the latest.

Marquesa de Almeida ? How does that compare to the earliest records you have for the Azores?
