Documents produced by the entail.

Petition signed by António Mendes de Vasconcelos, administrator of the entail of Gomes Pamplona de Miranda, requiring the Provedor das Capelas of Angra to order any scribe to issue an exemplification of the will made by the institutor.

Extract of the will made by Gomes Pamplona de Miranda in which he ordered the foundation of an entail, composed of assets in Terceira island, with a perpetual obligation of one mass celebrated every week for his soul and 12 more masses celebrated every year for the soul of his father António Pamplona de Miranda. He named his wife as first administrator of the entail with the condition that if she married a second time the administration should be given to their son João de Ornelas, who would in anyway inherit after her death, and his first born male sons after him. If João de Ornelas died without heirs, the administration should be transmitted to the closest relative of his mother's or aunts or cousins bloodline, and if there were relatives in equivalent condition to receive the administration, he decided that the poorest should administrate the entail. He disposed that every administrator should bare the surname "Borges" or lose the administration, and also give 10 alqueires of wheat to two poor woman, with the condition that each of them would pray a rosary in memory of his soul.
