Will

Will made by Catarina Evangelho in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail, composed of properties in Porto Martins and an estate named Quinta da Ribeira, Terceira island, with a perpetual obligation of one mass celebrated in every week in the chapel of Santíssimo Sacramento, in church of Santa Cruz, in Vila da Praia, where her and her descendants should be buried. She named her husband, Manuel Teixeira de Melo, as first administrator and all of their children after him, alternating in every two years, from the eldest to the youngest . After all of them were dead, the administration should be given to her eldest male grandson, son of Manuel. If he had no male heirs, the administration should be given to the eldest son of Joana or Luís. And if there were no male heirs of any of them, the administration should be given to her cousin Diego de Barcelos, and after him his closest relative.
