Chancery record of a subrogation warrant to Francisco Cardoso do Amaral.

Court sentence confirming the execution of Gaspar Homem Cardoso’s will, and the entailment of properties in Malcata, Germil and the ones mentioned in the declaration deed (VINC002799 GHC EA/003).

Declaration deed by which Doutor Francisco Cardoso do Amaral states he is not aware of his grandmother’s will or of her properties being entailed, transmitting information he received from his father, Doutor Francisco Cardoso, Gaspar Homem Cardoso’s brother. Thus, the houses and properties in Arruda left by his late uncle, Gaspar Homem, are free to be entailed.
It is mentioned that his grandmother, Isabel da Costa, is buried in the Misericórdia de Vila Real, and that his grandfather was Doutor Francisco Cardoso de Sequeira, who was corregedor da Comarca in that region.
