Will chart of Violante Cabral, widow of Manuel Rodrigues, expressing her wish to be buried in the convent of S. Francisco of Ponta Delgada. She bequeaths a land in Ponta Delgada to her sister, Antónia Travassos, with pious obligations which, after her sister's death, shall pass to the Misericórdia of that city. She also bequeaths her a vineyard with the obligation of ordering five annual masses, which shall pass to her son and to his successors, after his death. If he dies without children it too shall pass to the Misericórdia. She bequeaths farmlands in the parish of Sete Cidades to her sister-in-law, Ana Fernandes, widow, to pass to one of her children, with the perpetual obligation of ordering five annual masses for her soul either in the chapel of São João of the Misericórdia of Ponta Delgada or in the convent of S. Francisco. She bequeaths her step-mother, Catarina Dinis, a land in Lagoa, with the obligation of ordering an annual mass for her and her father's souls. After Catarina Dinis' death, it shall pass to Amador Travassos, Violante's cousin, and afterwards to his descendants, with the same obligation. She also bequeaths the house in Ponta Delgada where Gabriel Coelho lives to his daughters, Catarina Coelho and Isabel Correia, with the obligation of ordering a chapel of masses for her son's soul in the chapel of São João of the Misericórdia, where he was buried.
