education/formation: He would have at least the "First Letters" ["Primeiras Letras"], but could have learned to "Reckoning" ["Contar"], and "Latim".

profession/activities: It is possible that he had been a minner, but later he became a farmer. He also leased auctioned public services. In the year of 1777 we find him exercising the office of Inquirer and Accountant [Inquiridor e Contador] of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, at expenses of the Royal Treasury [Real Fazenda], office that he exercised al least since 1772. In the years of 1790 and 1791, we find him as Sugar-Cane Landlord [Senhor de Engenho], in the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, manifesting that he had not produced brandy [aguardente] inthe years of 1789 and 1790, represented by his procurator, the son-in-law Captain Domingos Pereira Guimarães.

military service: He had the rank with Captain, probably of Ordenança.

politics/public offices: He was Alderman (1734 e 1779), Procurator (1754, 1755 and 1765) and Ordinary Judge [Juiz Ordinário] (1783 and 1787), of the Senate of the Council [Senado da Câmara], of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, and, temporarily, General Listener and Corregidor [Ouvidor Geral e Corregedor] of the County [Comarc] of Serro Frio, MG, Brazil, about 1783.

He was a matriculed brother of the Brotherhood of the Most Holy Sacrament [Irmandade do Santíssimo Sacramento], of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, since he entered in 1753, until his death, on 23rd/Dec/1792, inn whose records is written that he was "Brother of Table" ["Irmão de Meza"] in the yeasrs of 1783/1784 and 1791/1792, and taht his matriculation was recorded in its 1st Book of Entrances [Livro 1° de Entradas]. Also belonged to the Third Order of Our Lady of the Mount Carmel [Ordem Terceira de N. Sra. do Monte do Carmo], of the Prince Town [Vila do Príncipe], MG, Brazil, in whose habit his body was shrouded, and in whose Chapel he was buried.

slaves: Between the years of 1756 and 1792 we found the names of eight (8) of his slaves or ex-slaves, in four (4) death records and two (2) birth and baptism records. In 1798, we found two of his "forro" (ex-slaves): João Francisco Guedes, freed [forro], son of Lauriana Pereira Guedes, freed [forra], marrying with Lusia Ribeira da Costa, natural daughter of Anna Maria Ribeira, that was slave of Josefa Ribeira da Costa, on 14th/Nov/1798.

diverse: There were homonymous of him, being an example the freed black [preto forro] (ex-slave), in the Itambé Village [Arraial do Itambé], paying the taxes over slaves, between the years of 1735 and 1741. Would this be one of his ex-slaves? After, later, in the years of 1753 to 1757, we found another "Antônio Pereira Guedes" paying the gold fifht [quinto], sending the payments through people that lived in many localities, as Tejuco Village [Arraial do Tejuco], Gouveia Village [Arraial da Gouveia], Arassuaí Acima, Água Suja, but one cannot affirm or deny that this would be himself.
