Entail foundation deed by which João Teixeira de Carvalho, capitão, and his wife Esperança Maria de Melo founded an entail, using some properties in Vila da Praia, in the Terceira island, with a perpetual obligation of seven masses celebrated every year in honour of the Holy Ghost. As they had no children or heirs, they designated their nephew Álvaro de Carvalho Teixeira, the eldest son of his cousin Jerónimo Teixeira de Carvalho, to be its first administrator. This entail should always be annexed to the Morgado do Barroso, administrated by João Teixeira de Carvalho, following the same clauses. Álvaro de Carvalho Teixeira should also administrate two chapels founded by João Teixeira de Carvalho's parents, Sebastião Teixeira de Carvalho and Maria de Rebelo, both of them of free appointment. The institutor excluded from this entail the rents of a land in Vila da Praia that was entailed to his great-grandfather Vasco Pires' entail. This foundation would only be valid if João Teixeira de Carvalho and Esperança Maria de Melo did not have children of their own because, in that case, their son should succeed in this administration.
