According to the Berengueres genealogy the earliest was Doctor Pedro Berenguer de Lumilhana, native of Valenca in Catalunha (Spain). He came to Madeira in 1500 and lived in Calheta. He was a nobleman from the Royal house, married Isabel Rodrigues de Andrade daughter of Rodrigues Anes, who was a servant to the Infant D. Henrique, and of Isabel Rodrigues de Andrada. They had, yikes, 16 kids recorded on this paper. There are a few Berengueres listed from the early 1700's so if you are that far back shoot me a name and I'll try to see if it is listed.

Hello Juanita, Luis said the essential about the origin of the Berenguer and I just add that according to magister Frutuoso: Pedro Berenguer was a MD. (O Dr, da Calheta OPhisicoi and "doutor em medicina") see below:. " Acima da villa, pela terra dentro hum quarto de legoa, está o engenho dos Cabraes; e perto delle está outro do Dr. da Calheta Phisico, chamado Pedro Berenguer de Lemilhana, moço fidalgo e cavalleiro da Ordem de Christo. e ainda hoje na Calheta conserva o nome de Lombo do Doutor uma parte considerável das terras de sesmaria que ali teve Pedro de Berenguer: Era natural de Valença, em Espanha, doutor em medicina e fidalgo da casa real. Veio para a Madeira no ultimo quartel do século XVI e estabeleceuse na freguesia da Calheta, onde instituiu um morgadio, que transmitiu aos seus descendentes. A ele ou a algum dos seus sucessores foi passada carta de brasão de armas, por alvará régio de 5 de Novembro de de 1524 São elas: campo vermelho e uma banda de azul perfilada de ouro e nela três flores de liz de prata, elmo de prata aberto, paquife de prata a vermelho, e por timbre um braço vestido de vermelho com uma das flores de liz na mão. O Dr. Pedro de Berenguer Lemilhana morreu na Calheta e foi sepultado no cruzeiro da capelamor da igreja paroquial desta freguesia.
