Traslado de 1736, a partir de uma certidão extraída do inventário e partilhas feito por morte do dito António Camacho Florença. MOTIVOS DA FUNDAÇÃO: não sabia o dia e hora da sua morte; encontrava-se doente (pelo que não redige o testamento). ENCARGOS PERPÉTUOS (ANUAIS): uma missa rezada no altar de Jesus da Sé com esmola de 80 réis. BENS DO VÍNCULO: terça dos bens que nomeia na fazenda das Ladeiras, sita no lugar da Tabua, na parte que dela tem por legítima de seu pai, não bastando «se enteyrara no milhor parado de minha fazenda» (f. 3). No documento “Pagamento que se deu à terça do defunto” (f. 6-7 v.º) foram adjudicados 496$663 réis em dinheiro e na terça parte das dívidas e dos bens móveis. Uma declaração posterior feita pelo padre Gaspar de Valdavesso (f. 7 v.º-8) esclarece que, por escrito particular, o pagamento a esta terça feito em dinheiro «se dera a elle pagamento» nas casas em que morava o irmão Manuel Carvalho e Valdavesso, «citas ao Collegio no canto da rua que vay pera a Igrejinha com a porta pera a rua que vay pera as missas e a porta fica defronte das escadas do Collegio».

Ana, sucedendo-lhe seu filho macho mais velho, não havendo macho na filha femea mais velha «e assim hira correndo nesta minha linha» (f. 3 v.º). Caso a filha não chegasse a herdar e a mulher quisesse ser religiosa, a terça serviria para o dote desta «eu lha deyxo com mil vontades pera esta tenção» (f. 3); contudo, tomando a mulher outro estado diferente, a terça ficaria à Confraria do Santíssimo Sacramento da igreja da Tabua, alterando-se o encargo: dez missas anuais, para além da obrigação de dar 10.000 réis anuais à cunhada D. Inês, filha de João Rodrigues de Teive, e por falecimento desta aos parentes mais necessitados «filhos e netos de meus tios irmãos de meu pay da Tabua» (f. 3).
