Will chart made by D. Clemência de Noronha e Mendonça, daughter of Antão Martins Homem de Noronha, Capitão da Praia da Ilha Terceira, and D. Joana de Mendonça. She declared that she had duly endowed her chapel of Santíssimo Sacramento of the convent of S. Bento of Lisboa, where her body would be buried, providing enough money to support the celebration of the annual masses, its maintenance and illumination. She left many ornaments, textiles and even a relic to the chapel which could never be taken from it. She appointed her nephew, Manuel de Sousa, to administrate it, bequeathing him houses near the Mosteiro da Esperança, in Lisboa. The testator determined that 5 women (merceeiras) would be paid 20 000 réis each year to pray for her soul every day, inside her chapel. They would live in her houses and her bodies would be buried in that chapel.
D. Clemência bequeathed a property in Ilha Terceira ("pasto de Martim"), which was incorporated in an entail she administrated, to Francisco de Câmara Paim, who would succeeded her. She donated a large breviary with its golden lectern and all her books to the convent of Jesus of the village of Praia in Ilha Terceira, which had been erected by her grandparents. She freed her slave, Maria de Amorim/ Maria de Noronha, mulher parda, leaving her furniture, a public debt instrument of 31 000 réis and the revenues of some houses. After her death, the rent would be destined to support, each year, the marriage of an orphan girl. The testator declared that the wooden altarpieces were ready to be put in her chapel.
