I’ve found they owned the house, and a few adjacent parcels, from 1908 down to 1951 (when Maria, by then widowed, sold it). Manuel was a carpenter by trade, and I expect that he built the house that stands on at least one adjacent parcel. It’s cool that this house has an Azorean-Portuguese episode to its history, as well as its older Yankee farmer past.

Went back to the Azores in 1914 with a passport he applied for. Unfortunately, no photo attached to the passport application. He stayed alone on that 1914 trip for 4 months without any wife or children.

Or the 1920 Federal Census. Or the 1915 RI Census. Or the Rhode Island Birth/Baptism Record Index.

(But it appears the answer is No on all counts)

Maybe you are right..
