Will

Will made by Maria da Câmara in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual mass obligation of two chapels of masses celebrated every year in S. Francisco's convent in Ponta Delgada. She named her son padre João Borges da Câmara as first administrator of the entail, her daughter Maria de Medeiros after his death, and after Maria, her grandson João. If João died before assuming the administration, Maria de Medeiros would appoint a second born son or daughter at her choice, and from there on the succession should always be held by second born sons. If the bloodline was extinguished, the entail should be administrated by the same administrator of the entail founded by her husband Gaspar Medeiros de Sousa. She mentioned that her son Gaspar de Medeiros da Câmara would succeed on the administration of the entails administrated by his brother Duarte Borges da Câmara. She appointed her son António Borges on the administration of the entails founded by her mother Maria da Câmara and her grand-grandmother Luzia Brandoa and her grand-grandfather Bernardinho da Câmara.
