The perspective I have is that Catholic Church greed was the driving force for the
inquisition prosecution of Pero Dias Carrico to acquire his land and money.
I'd love to go back to Portugal and ask for our land and money back, with interest...
It' interesting that the building that was his prison at that time is now a bank.

Out of curiousity, do the documents
state that Pero Dias Carrico was accused of
Judiasm or of Heresy (perhaps
meaning something else)..??
There is also an interesting tale that the Carrico's were
French Huguenots. I
do not think this is the case. Would love to know more.

Thank you for the links, Katie.
I'm generalizing.... but it appears, at least to me,
that the Maryland CARRICOs
who descend from Peter I, the immigrant, were Catholic, and
that those who
descend from Peter II and migrated to Kentucky (and
westwards) were also
Catholic. Those who descend from son Abel,
who migrated from Maryland to
Virginia, are said to have been Protestant, at least in
later generations. So
far, I know of no American CARRICOs descended from Peter I
who are Jewish,
however...
The American descendants of Peter I are Haplogroup J2a4b,
and Haplogroup J2 is
common among Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews (15-30%):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_J2_%28Y-DNA%29
Their haplogroup is not proof Peter's ancestors were
Jewish, but it's not
inconsistent with them having been Jewish.
I believe DNA testing will someday give us an answer, at
least to the question
of *where* Peter I came from. We just have to keep
finding and testing more
European CARRICOs.
