Will

Will made by Ana da Fonseca in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail, composed of several properties in Angra's district, Terceira island, with a perpetual obligation of two masses celebrated every year. She named her parents António Pacheco de Lima and D. Catarina Corte Real to be the first administrators, and her husband, Manuel Pacheco de Lima, after their deaths, and his heirs after him. If Manuel Pacheco died without heirs the administration should be given to her brother André Fernandes, and if he also died without heirs, the Misericórdia of Angra should administrate it, with the obligation of providing the dowry for an orphan girl every year.

Fonseca, Ana (flor.1601)
