Exemplification of an extract of the will made by Cecília Fernandes in which she ordered the foundation of a chapel.

Will (extract) made by Cecília Fernandes in which she ordered the foundation of a chapel composed of farms and fourty enslaved persons, twenty men and twenty women, and a perpetual pious obligation of three sung masses in every year in Christmas, Easter and All Souls Day, and also twenty masses, all of them celebrated as long as the world lasted. To administrate it, she named her grandson Francisco, son of her niece Cecília de Barros, during his lifetime. After the death of Francisco, the succession should always continue on his heirs, or, if he had none, the administration would be transmitted to his brothers or sisters, and if none of them was alive, then the Misericórdia of Cabo Verde would receive the administration. The institutor disposed that if any of the enslaved persons of the chapel died, they should be immediatly replaced with new ones.
