Will

Will of Padre Gaspar da Ponte Cabreira expressing his wish to be buried in the main church of Arronches and bequeathing the remaining part of his assets to his aunt Catarina da Ponte, with the pious obligation of six annual masses. After his aunt's death and her soul's fulfilment, the money resulting from the sale of his movables and his other money will be used to buy properties to entail in a chapel with the same perpetual pious obligation of six annual masses. In this chapel will succeed his nephew Fernando da Ponte, son of Duarte Rodrigues, and his niece, Inês, daughter of his brother Manuel Vaz da Ponte, if they want to marry each other, and, after them, their children. If they don't want to marry each other, the half of Inês will be bequeathed to Manuel Vaz da Ponte, with the same obligations, and the half of Fernando da Ponte, if he does not have offspring, will return to the chapel or will be bequeathed to his brother or nephew. The testator also appoints his nephew Domingos Curvo, son of Manuel Vaz da Ponte, to succeed him in the chapel founded by Fernando Vaz, entailed to a part of his estate of Fragosa, because he is the closest relative of the institutor and administrator and he is also a cleric.
This will was approved in 1641-06-18 and opened in 1650-03-08.

Cabreira, Gaspar da Ponte (d.1650)
