Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Gaspar Mendes Borges expresses his wish to be buried in the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa. He establishes a chapel of two annual masses, entailing to it the quinta do Lumiar, which he had received from his wife's dowry. As his wife, Paula da Silva, is pregnant, he appoints the future child as his universal heir. If the pregnancy doesn't come to full term, he appoints his brother, Francisco Borges, as his heir, and his successors afterwards.
Followed by the information that the properties were given by Álvaro Lopes, boticário, to his niece, Paula da Silva, by a dowry deed dated 1593-05-10, with the obligation of one mass in Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa.

Borges, Gaspar Mendes (flor.1596)
