Person:Dona Cabral Catana (1)

per gena her father is Quirio's brother Rafael. Pai: Rafael Catanho, o moço * 1520 Mãe: Antónia Cabral

This D. Maria Cabral is given in the nobiliaries as the illegitimate daughter of Rafael Catanho the young, son of Rafael Catanho, and D. Antónia Cabral, given as daughter of Francisco Cabral and Maria Teixeira. The ancestry of this couple is not known beside the nobiliary realms, though she seem to derive indeed from one of the two Cabrais who married a Câmara, as the surname Câmara appears on their descendancy. Regards, Paulo

There is indeed a documented Bartolomeu de Arvelos married to a D. Mar Cabral, but their ancestry seems to be unknown. Others make her a natural daughter of Rafael Catanho and D. Antónia Cabral, which seems more probable given her marriage to this obscure Bartolomeu de Arvelos.
