Donation deed

Donation deed made in São Filipe, Ilha do Fogo, by cónego Rafael Gomes, in Cabo Verde, in which he donated his farms of Pico and Garça, with all their lands, plantations and enslaved persons to Arsénio Gomes, a boy that he raised in his home, with the condition that he and his descendants would order the celebration of one perpetual sung mass and half of one divine office for the salvation of his soul. After the death of Arsénio the succession should always continue on his legitimate descendants, or if he had none, the administration would be handled to his sister Catarina or to his sister Juliana Fernandes. If Arsénio ever married with a woman of colour, the administration would be immediatly handled to his nephews. If any of the entailed enslaved persons died, the administrator would be obliged to replace him or her.

Gomes, Rafael (flor.[165-])
