I was searching to see if this book would be on google book and came across an article that was somewhat critical of the book. It might be worth reading. The author of this article says there are certain things that are not accurate because it is not a scholarly work. This is the link:http://ww

Thanks for this lookup! I guess Isace is a typo for Isaac. Family has told me that the two oldest children were born in New Bedford and that is where they married. I am trying to verify family info to validate what I was told. I don't think the son was born in Azores, but I guess it is possible.
