Rui— Many thanks for the information- I'll begin searching the names you supplied— I know through my family's folklore and word of mouth that Baron d'Aguilar (Moses) had been posing as a catholic priest. During that time, Spain had much gold from the New World and it was in demand from Austria to help its war efforts. Maria Theresa archduchess of Austria and queen of Hungary and Bohemia knew the secret double life of Baron d'Aguilar and threaten to expose his real identity and religion. Moses Aguilar went into hiding. He was skilled in the art of manufacturing cherry brandy and wines for religious purposes - he had a temporary name change to "Weiner" as was common for people of those days to take on the name of their trade—(That is where my family name was derived— my Austrian family was in the wholesale glass and porcelain business which was used for wine bottles and decoration.) Moses Aguilar may have received a pardon from Joseph II Holy Roman emperor and son of Maria Theresa. It is noted that Joseph II had granted religious toleration to Protestants and ended discriminatory laws against Jews. Baron d'Aguilar then moved to England around 1741-2?
In a will that was discovered around 1910? in England he makes mention of the Aguilar and Weiner family names.
Regards- Bill
