Cece, I'm "game," willing to tackle this tangled web... Here's what I have: John Drummond Escorcio m. Branca Afonso da Cunha April 1430 Santa Cruz, Funchal I have 8 children for this couple, of which Joanna (or Ana) Escorcio is one of them. I have her husband as being Andred Pires (Capitao-Mor). They have two children (1) Ines Pires Escorcio m. Rui Goncalves de Gramacho (2) Beatris Pires m. Fernao Favilla. Now for John Drummond Escorcio's other marriage to Catarina Vaz de Lordelo(or as Miguel stated just Catarina Vaz). I have one child for John and Catarina...a daughter by the name of Catarina Escorcia married to Pedro Ferreira Teixeira. I do not have any children listed for Catarina and Pedro... Hope this is correct...I wouldn't want to lose John Drummond Escorcio and Branca Afonso da Cunha for the currently are my 15th Great-Grandparents. ;-)). Happy New Year !

I have Joao Escorcio Drummond married twice- once to Branca Afonso (no parents listed for her) with 9 children - one of them being Joana Escorcio who married Andre Pires. Joao married again with Catarina Vaz (no parents for her)...I show they had 1 daughter, Catarina Escorcio who married Pedro Teixiera. Leandro shows Joaos 2nd wife, Catarina Vaz, to be Catarina Vaz de Lordelo - and he shows 1 child for them names Ana Escorcio who is married to Andre Pires (this is obviously the person I refer to as Joana above). Leandro also shows the daughter Catarina Escorcio (the one I show above as the daughter of Catarina), who is married to Pedro Teixeira - to be the daughter of Branca. So the questions are - is Joao Escorcio Drummonds daughter (the one who married Andre Pires) named Joana or Ana and is her mother Catarina or Branca? And is Joao Escorcio Drummonds daughter, Catarina Escorcio (who married Pedro Teixeira) the daughter of Catarina or Branca? whewww...good luck to anyone who wishes to tackle this tangled web ;-) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
Cece and Pat and all João Escoto descendants Have a look on this site: http://martinromano.com/ps05/ps05_413.htm Seems well organized, with careful organized data. about the Drummonds of Madeira, of course. Enjoy, Miguel
