Will made by Branca Gonçalves, black woman, in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual mass obligation of three masses celebrated every year, one for her own soul and the second for the soul of her former master João Gonçalves, father of her children, buried in the convent of S. Francisco, and the third celebrated in the mother church of Angra over the grave of their children. She named her son António Rodrigues as first administrator and after his death the succession should continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If António died without children, the administration should be transmitted to her daughter Leonor Gonçalves, and if she also bared no heirs, to the Misericórdia of Angra.
