Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by which Estêvão Barreto do Amaral, fulfilling the nuncupative will of his late wife, D. Catarina de Moura, established an entail and a chapel, entailing to them the third part of the couple's assets, which included a farmstead in S. Miguel da Facha, Ponte de Lima ("quinta do Paço"). He designated his daughter, D. Luísa Madalena Sarmento, to administrate it, determining that the entail had to be transmitted to her eldest son. If she died without leaving descendants, it would be passed to her sister, D. Inês Maria. The future administrators of the entail would be obligated to support the celebration of perpetual masses each Sunday, Holy Day and Saint Stephen's day in the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Amparo, located inside the institutor's farmstead.

Will

Will by which Estêvão Barreto do Amaral declared that his body would be buried inside the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Amparo, located inside his farmstead in Ponte de Lima ("quinta do Paço"). He asked the executors of his will to take care of his two pupils, José and António, and to send them to Índia or to Brasil. While they remained on land, his daughter, D. Luísa, administrator of his chapel, would provide for them.

Will

Will by which Estêvão Barreto do Amaral expresses his wish to be buried in his chapel of Nossa Senhora do Amparo. He designates his daughter, D. Luísa Madalena Sarmento, and his son-in-law, Luís de Calvos Cardoso, as his heirs and executors. He annuls the previous institution of his entail, with the third part of his deceased wife, D. Catarina de Moura, as there had been doubts and conflicts about the legitimacy of the succession and of the witnesses. He changes the clauses of succession to free appointment by his daughter, who will be the first administrator, and declares, once more, that his properties will be entailed to his chapel.
