Will

Will by which Catarina Ferreira, Fernando Mendes' wife, bequeaths a vineyard to her husband, obligating him to support the celebration of 3 annual masses for her soul in the church of S. João Batista of Lumiar. After her husband's death, the entail would be inherited by her niece, Beatriz Ferreira, and passed to her descendants. The vineyard could never be sold or exchanged for other property.
She leaves two houses in Rua Direita to Félix Ferreira with the obligation of celebrating 3 annual masses for her soul in that church. The houses would only be transmitted to him after the death of the testator's husband.
She also donates other houses in Rua Direita to her niece, Catarina da Silva, Matias da Costa's wife, obligating her to celebrate 2 masses, each year, in that church.
The testator declares that her body should be buried next to the altar of Jesus of that church.

Ferreira, Catarina (flor.1616)
