Will made in Santiago de Cabo Verde by Duarte Rodrigues in which he ordered the foundation of an entail and chapel that would be composed of his farm of São Domingos, with its cotton fields and stockyard, over which he imposed a perpetual pious obligation of three masses celebrated every week as long as the world lasted. He named Sebastião, the eldest of his legitimate sons, as first administrator, during his lifetime, and, after his death, the succession should always continue, preferably on the eldest male heir, born from legitimate marriage. If Sebastião had no male heir, the administration would be handled to his brother Jorge, second son of Duarte Rodrigues, with the same conditions. If none of them had male heirs, then the administration would be handled to the eldest female daughter of Sebastião. If none of them had children, the admnistration would be handled, in this order, to Maria Duarte, legitimate daughter of Duarte Rodrigues, or her sister Isabel. If none of the legitimate heirs had children, the the illegitimate sons of Duarte Rodrigues would receive the administration, with the condition that only their legitimate children would succeed. He appointed his son in law Diogo de Avelar to administrate the entail during the minority of his sons Sebastião and Jorge. The administrator would also have the obligation to perpetually provide the sustenance of one bed on the Misericórdia of Santiago.
