Will was written 9 May 1693 and proved 3 Oct 1695. The death date given in Jews of Caribbean PAF has Aaron dying 10 Oct 1695 and so does Shilstone, but gives his age as 25 years which seems to be an obvious mistake. The death date must lie between the will writing date and the proving date so we suggest it was 10 Oct 1693.
Endenized 20 Aug 1675 (ref Wilfred Samuel). Edgar Samuel suggests he went to Barbados in 1659, since in his will he mentioned 26 years of slavery in connection with the 1685 family accounts which he did not sign.
This was the Aaron Baruh Lousada of whom it was said (quoted by Wilfred Samuel) 'His grandson and namesake was also a Barbados Jew, and from him (so Sir Thos. Colyer-Fergusson, the genealogist, states) are descended all the English Louzadas, including that Isaac Louzada in whose favour the Spanish dukedom “de Losada y Lousada” was revived in 1848.' There is a problem with this suggestion insofar as it relates to the first grandson Aaron #714. Aaron of Jamaica #125 and Jacob Baruh Lousada share the ancestry of the English Lousadas and these two are Jamaican. See www.barrow-lousada.org for discussion on this. Aaron #125 is a son of Emanuel #41 and he was the grandson who was the ancestor of the Lousada Dukes.
Sister of Isaac Gomez Henriques as from this passage from Wilfred Samuel
The other two assessors (with Abraham Abudiente) of the 1680 Jews' Levy were ISAAC GOMEZ HENRIQUES and Abraham de Soza Mendes; the former, a brother-in-law of Aaron Baruch Louzada, was usually known as Isaac Gomez, and he, too, was one of the wealthy Barbados merchants who ultimately withdrew to London. His brothers were probably those outstanding Jamaican planters, David and Abraham Gomes Henriques, who had been endenizened there in 1668. David died in 1673 owning over 3,000 acres in that Island. Although Isaac Gomez Henriques had settled in London long before 1701, nevertheless, his wife, Benvenida (Grasia), was laid to rest in Barbados on the 31st August of that year.
From her will (included in Samuel) brother Isaac Gomez is to invest in London funds to provide a dowry for daughter (and last child) Hannah. Failing Isaac Gomez fulfilling this task Isaque Dias a nephew is to take charge of the money.
Date of birth and death (1703) from Jews of Caribbean PAF and Shilstone; Samuel however says she survived husband by 13 years; but even if he assumes Aaron dies 1693 as he did there is only an 10 year difference so there is an obvious mistake here.
Her will in Portuguese is dated 29 Oct 1703 (from Samuel)
The birthdates of the children surviving infancy are from Samuel but from Aaron's will Jacob and Emanuel didn't survive long

possible surname indicated from Aaron's cousin Joseph Henriques -see Aaron's will extract www.barrow-lousada.org key documents though a more likely scenario is than Aaron Lamego came to Jamaica because Acosta relatives were there and his wife was an Acosta
however, since Beatriz Henriques had Acosta brothers perhaps the surnames are aliases for each other
