Opening deed of a will made by the deceased Gomes da Noia, the elder, and his wife Catarina Fernandes Valente in which they ordered the foundation of an entail.

Will made by Gomes da Noia, the elder, and his wife Catarina Fernandes Valente in which they ordered the foundation of an entail composed of all their properties, including the farms of Chuva Chove, Ribeirão dos Pássaros, Pico da Antónia, with their sugar mill and plantations, four mares, four mules and also thirty enslaved persons. Over all these assets they have imposed a perpetual pious obligation of twenty masses celebrated every year and one more sung mass celebrated in the octave of All Souls Day, with bread and wine offer, and candles over their graves. To administrate the entail, they named Gomes da Noia, the younger, nephew of Gomes da Noia, during his lifetime, and, after his death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. The institutor's disposed that no demoniac, destroyer or fool could never receive the administration, and all administrators should be obliged to bare the surnames Noia and Fernandes, or otherwise lose the administration. They have also disposed that the administrators should keep a book, recomending that they should be similar to the notary's record books, for the record of the entailed properties, including the enslaved people, with all their named noted, and if any slave perished, fled or was sold for desobedience, the administrator would be obliged to replace him or her in equal number. They called the Provedor das Capelas to take account of the administration and to surveil this record book, receiving an stipend worth 2.000 réis for each time they took account.
