Will

Will made by Esperança Dias, in which she ordered the foundation of three entails. The first entail would be composed of one olive grove near Arronches and would be administrated by her nephew António, with a perpetual mass obligation of four masses celebrated every year, and after the death of António the administration should be handled to his eldest sister and the closest relative after her death. The second entail would be composed of another olive grove and would be administrated by Manuel Dias Inchado, clergyman, with a perpetual mass obligation of three masses celebrated every year, and after his death the administration should be transmitted to Isabel Rodrigues, niece of the institutor, and after her death to Inês Gonçalves, also her niece, and her son Manuel Moreno and his descendants after her. This third entail would be composed of a vineyard near Barcelos and would be administrated by her goddaughter Maria Fernandes with a perpetual mass obligation of three masses celebrated every year, and after her death she would be succeeded by her children, and if she had none, she would appoint a successor.
