Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Henrique Jacques establishes an entail with the third part of his revenue. He bequeaths it to his eldest son, and his descendants thereafter, who shall also annex to the entail their third parts and use the surname Jacques. He asks his wife to also annex her third part to the entail, in the quinta do Vale de Mourelos. He establishes a chapel of three annual masses in the convent or church where he shall be buried. If his descendants die before his wife, the entail shall go to her, until she marries again. If his wife has already died, it shall go to his nephew, also called Henrique Jacques, and to his descendants, with an obligation of 100 annual masses. If these two lineages are extinguished, the entail shall pass to the Misericórdias of Lisboa and of Lagos.

Jacques, Henrique (d.1574)

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which D. Catarina da Silva annexes her quinta do Vale de Mourelos to her husband's entail. She bequeathes it to her son, Pedro Jacques da Silva, under the same conditions as in his father's will, adding that her descendants are to be called Jacques da Silva. She also adds three more annual masses in the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa to the ones established by her husband. If the lineage of her and her husband's descendants is separated, her part of the entail shall be separated from her husband's part, and be given to her closest relative of the Silva lineage, under the same conditions.

Silva, Catarina da (d.1607)
