Will (extract)

Will (extract) made by Cecília Fernandes in which she ordered the foundation of a chapel composed of farms and twenty enslaved persons, among men and women, and a perpetual pious obligation of one sung mass and also twelve masses, one per month, all of them celebrated as long as the world lasted. To administrate it, she named her nephew Sebastião Pires de Barros during his lifetime. After the death of Sebastião, 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.

Barros, Cecília Fernandes de (flor.[1620]-[1624])
