Court sentence

Court sentence issued by the Juiz de Fora of Alter do Chão in which he approved the will made by Manuel Garcia Mendes, judging it firm and well made.

Will

Will made by Manuel Garcia Mendes, in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual obligation of six masses celebrated every year in the mother church of Alter do Chão. He named his niece Mécia Pais as first administrator of the entail, and her descendants after her, with the condition that she would not marry with Domingos de Sá. If she married with Domingos de Sá she would lose the administration of the entail, which should be handled to Tomás Garcia or Catarina Ribeira, nephew and niece of the institutor.

Mendes, Manuel Garcia (d.1674)
