Will

Will of Padre João de Sousa bequeathing all his assets to Catarina Borges, his sister, with the pious obligation of 25 perpetual prayed masses, per year, in his chapel of S. Lourenço, located in the church of Vila Nova, in the outskirts of the town of Casal. He appoints Catarina Borges as its first administrator and, after her death, their sister, Mécia Lourenço, and, after her, one of her daughters, specifically the one who do not succeed in the chapel of Margarida Borges. The testator also bequeaths two swamps (lameiros) to Domingos Lopes Ferreira and his wife, Inácia Francisca, with the pious obligation of two annual masses for his soul, also celebrated in his chapel of S. Lourenço, founding another entail, in which should succeed their legitimate offspring. If Domingos Lopes dies without offspring in common with Inácia Francisca or if one of the successors alienates the swamps, these properties will be annexed to the chapel founded to Catarina Borges.

Sousa, João de (d.1650)
