I believe the baptism you found is the one you are looking for. I see it
as Jose, son of Joam Teixeira de Quadros and Maria do Rosario. He would
have turned 90 3 months before he died and the priest said 89 years old
more or less.
Joam and João are the same name (Portuguese equivalent to John

Donna, you will find that Joao/Joam, Sao/Sam (for Sam Jorge) and just about
any name ending in "O" can be written with an "M" in the earlier time

Jorge and Jose in English--George & Jozeph/Joseph. Who knows why!

It is not that «just about any name ending in "O" can be written with an
"M"»
What happens is that the terminations "am" and "ão" have the same sound in
Portuguese, even nowadays.
Is is still a very common mistake to exchange one for the other in some
words.
For example, "eles comeram" (they ate) a
Yeah, but you know how they kinda clip off the endings when they speak. So
that's why I was wondering if it was supposed to be a closer spelling to
Latin. But then again, they probably would have needed to spell out the
Latin, regardless of how they may have clipped it off in speech.
