Will

Will of Diogo Brás do Couto ordering, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail, whose head would be a estate in Lajes, Terceira island, with a perpetual obligation of 10 masses celebrated every week in the convent of São Francisco, in Angra. He named his wife as first administrator, and all of their children after her death, and his eldest grandson after the death of each one of them. He excluded clerics, mentally or bodily ill people of the administration and ordered that all his successors should use the surname "Couto" or loose the administration.
