Composition deed

Composition deed made between padre Manuel da Costa Rebelo, Ana Margarida de Chaves, widow of Inácio da Costa Rebelo, and Manuel de Sampaio, represented by an solicitor, settling a dispute over the assets that were partitioned after the death of Ana Rebelo, wife of Manuel da Costa, and the administration of the entail founded by him. Both parties agreed that Manuel da Costa Chaves, grandson of the institutor, would administrate the entail, and his uncle padre Manuel de Sampaio would receive his share from the inheritance of his mother.

Chaves, Manuel da Costa (flor.1678)

Will

Will made by Manuel da Costa in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of a chapel devoted to Jesus Christ with a perpetual mass obligation of a weekly mass celebrated on Sundays and holidays in the hermitage of N. Sra. das Almas. He named his wife Ana Rebelo as first administrator during her lifetime and, after her death, his son Inácio da Costa Rebelo who would always be succeeded, preferably, by the eldest male heir. If Inácio had no descendants, the administration should be given to one of his nephews, sons of Isabel da Costa. If there was none of them alive, the administration should be transmitted to another of his children. He ordered the administrator to continue the construction of a chapel which was not finished by the time of his death, and disposed that instead of giving account to the royal magistrates, the administrator should give account of the administration to a vigário of the church.
