CRUZ -- F

 

My grandmother, Maria Antonia Encarnacao (Varela, Almeida) was married twice, first to Joao Antao Santos - who was from Sao Vicente (his parents were from Santo Antao & Sao Nicolau) & then very late in her life (when she was 69) she married Francisco Pedro "Pasheek"/ Ti Sheek Cruz (married on 4/15/1861 in New Bedford).  I knew him but not really & I don't remember him other than from a memory jogged by a photo.  And then,  just a few days ago, I was presented with their wedding certificate for which I had signed as a witness - even though I was a pre-teen at the time. 
For some strange & inexplicable reason when my gram was almost 80, I started to call her   "Grandma Cruz".  And so my son thinks of her as Grandma Cruz.  This re-naming seemed so disrespectful of my biological grandfather.  Yet, I persisted in using this name.
When I got quite into my genealogy search I was astounded to see that my grandmother's great grandmother was Maria da Cruz Boa Vista (of Sao Nicolau but she lived her life &, ostensibly, died in Boa Vista), & that her grandmother was Rosa Maria da Cruz # 2 (her aunt was Rosa Maria da Cruz # 1) (see separate post "Who was Rosa Maria da Cruz?") & that her mother was Antonia da Cruz but she changed her surname to Encarnacao.  And so, until she got married to a Santos, my grandmother used the surname Encarnacao or her paternal grandmother's & father's surname Varella.  And when she got married again she changed her name to her husband's name -- Cruz.  So she was a CRUZ the whole time - for her whole life - under various naming patterns.  . 
*** However, she is buried with her first husband at St. John's Cemetery in New Bedford & the stone says Santos (not Cruz). 

Francisco Pedro "Pasheek"/ " Ti Sheek" Cruz

Here is Francisco Pedro "Pasheek" / Ti Sheek Cruz c. 1962, but the photo is backwards - I will replace it with the correct photo.  The car (my family's car) should be heading toward downtown New Bedford & parked on the West side/odd side of Purchase Street.  I am standing next to Pasheek, my cousin Charlene is in the green dress, & my sister Patricia is behind the car window.  300 block of Purchase (odd side).
