Will

Will by which Gaspar Dias and his wife Ana de Medeiros disinherited their grandson Gaspar Medeiros since he had deeply insulted them. They bequeathed a vineyard and lands to Agostinho Borges, their grandson, obligating him and his descendants to support the celebration of two masses every year for their souls. They also left him half of the third part of their assets under the condition that him and his successors would celebrate, each year, 9 masses. Both of these properties had to be transmitted to a son or daughter chosen by their Agostinho, before his death. Agostinho Borges was also asked to use part of the entail's income to support the costs of the legal action they were taking against Gaspar Medeiros.
The testators established another entail with half of the third part of their assets, which included properties in Ponta Delgada. It would be administrated by their son, Manuel de Medeiros, and passed to his descendants, with the obligation of celebrating, each year, masses in honour of the Passion. They declared that their bodies should be buried in the main chapel of Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Ponta Delgada.
