It has come to the families attention that family lore stated that D. Defreitas had a tavern in Grenada where it was said pirates often stopped and shopped so to speak. At first we assumed it was romantic family stories.. but recently we have cause to believe that it might have been true.. Do any of you have a means of searching businesses in Grenada such as this?? It would have been early to mid 1880's as by the late 1800's they had The Douglaston Plantation..It would fill in the gap possible of the time of their arrival until there plantation days.. Which of COURSE leads to another question,, how did they get their start IF this was their first business...Fresh from Portugal???? Are there no end to these puzzles?? Everytime you think you know it all, things like this jump out and you start all over again. Lenora...
