Scope and content

Will (extract) made in Pernambuco by Cristóvão de Barros Rego in which he ordered the foundation of an entail composed of one of his sugar mills named São Bento and Nossa Senhora da Conceição, with all of its lands, cattle and slaves, and also by an urban ground in Olinda, over which he imposed the perpetual obligation of one weekly mass celebrated in every monday, as long as the world lasted, in the chapel of Nossa Senhora of Boa Vista. To administrate the entail he named his grandson Cristóvão de Barros Rego, son of Manuel da Mota Silveira and his daughter Catarina de Barros, as first administrator during his lifetime, and, after his death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If Cristóvão had no heirs, the administration would be handled to his younger brothers, and if none of them had children, the entail would be administrated by the son of Simão Pereira Barbosa and Maria do Rego. If none of these alternative lines of succession produced male heirs, only then the administration would be given to the female heirs of Manuel da Mota Silveira and Catarina de Barros. The administrator would be obliged to give a wage worth 50.000 réis to the chaplain of Nossa Senhora da Boa Vista.

Note

The exemplification of extract of the will made by Cristóvão de Barros Rego was made in 1731-05-08 by the Escrivão dos Ausentes, Capelas e Resíduos of the Provedoria of Pernambuco. This exemplification was copied in another exemplification made in the nineteenth century, from which only a fragment survived, due to the partial destruction of the manuscript the date of the exemplification could not be identified. The document is preserved in the Fundo Paes Barreto, a genealogical fond of the Instituto Arquelógico, Histórico e Geográfico Pernambucano.
