Court sentence

Court sentence issued by the Juiz de Fora of Crato, judging the will made by padre Bento da Cruz as firm and well made, ordering it to be fullfilled.

Will

Will made in Vale do Peso, district of Crato, by padre Bento da Cruz, in which he ordered the foundation of an entail with an estate and lands in Crato's outskirts, with a perpetual obligation of twelve masses celebrated every year on the church of N. Sra. da Luz, where his body should be buried. He named his nephew Manuel da Cruz as first administrator during his lifetime and, after his death, the succession should continue on his descendants. If Manuel had no children, the administration would be handled to his sister Isabel, and if she also died without descendants, then the administration would be transmitted to the confraria of N. Sra. do Ó.

Cruz, Bento da (d.1698)
