1. Francisco FERNANDEZ was born circa 1735 in Spain.
General Notes: Francisco Fernandez, a Jesuit, with a group five Portuguese Jesuits, was expelled from Portugal in June 1758 when the Jesuits were stripped of all Portuguese possessions and exiled (by Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the Count of Oeiras, who was made the Marquis de Pombal in 1775). The group landed in India about 1759, obtained jobs in the munition factories of Hyder Ali and married local Catholic Indian women. Some say they were Jesuit Priests, others say they were Jesuit seminarians. One was a Brother.
