Exemplification of a will (extract) made by Manuel Lobo Reimão in which he ordered the foundation of a chapel.

Documents produced by the entail.

Will (extract) made by Manuel Lobo Reimão in which he ordered the foundation of a chapel composed of a cotton plantation named Fazenda do Fragoso and twelve enslaved persons, over which he imposed a perpetual pious obligation of certain number of masses. He named his daughter Maria de Deus as first administrator during her lifetime and, after her death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest legitimate male heir. If she had none, the administration would be handled to her brother António, and if he also died without children, then his brothers Domingos or André da Veiga Reimão, in this order, would enter on the administration. If none of them had children, the chapel would be administrated by the brotherhood of Nossa Senhora do Livramento. The institutor also disposed that if any of the slaves entailed to this chapel died, they should be replaced, in order to maintain the original number, and any administrator who freed any enslaved persons would immediatly lose the administration, passing it to the next administrator in line.
