Theory

It is indeed interesting that he married a Huguenot descendant and that he moved to where the Huguenots lived in Virginia. Did the Yanez family flee Portugal to a Huguenot village and then remove to England along with Huguenot families? There were many Sephardic Jews that fled the Inquisition and went north to the Pyrenees where the Huguenots lived and joined them. Food for thought.
