Hi Lee, As best as I can transcribe it, the records says:
Em os vinte e quatro dias do mez de Agosto de mil seis centos noventa e oyto faleceo da vida prezente ManoeL Pays veuvo de D. Francisca do Caminho do Sul freguez desta Igreja de idade de 70 annos [parece?] mais ou menos Com todos os Sacramen.[tos?] foi sepultado nesta Igreja. F[es?] tes tamento e tinha testado Com Sua mulher em q[ue] deixou q[ue] Seu Corpo Seria enterrado nesta Igreja e Seria aCompanhado Com a bandei ra e irmaos da St.a Caza da mizericordia e Com o Collegio desta Igr[e] ja, e Com Collegio do Apostlho S. Matheus da villa da Praya, e Com os Relgiosos de S. Francisco e Com [dezouto???] pobres, e que se [diriao?] por sua alma vinte mi[??? .... ..................?] [d..... ......??] no dia de Seo enterro, ???? no Cabo de oyto dias em... quais a ....... o Collegio do Apostelho S. Mateus e os ..... Religiosos, e os dezouto pobres, e ............................. dez alqueires de tr.o por sua alma a [Certes??] pobrez And, as best as I can translate it, it states that: On the 24th day of August of 1698 Manoel Pays passed from the present life having received all the sacraments at the age of approximately 70, widower of D. Francisca [resident] of the Caminho do Sul, parishioner of this church. His will, given to his wife, was that he be burried in this church and that he be accompanied [to the grave] with the banner and the members of the brotherhood of the Apostle S. Matheus of the town of Praia, and by the "Religiosos" of S. Francisco and by [18??] poor folk [alms recipients??], and for [the repose of his] his soul [an amount of money, I believe]. [Here I lose the script, but I think it goes on to state how on the day of his burial the conditions of his will were met. The last line might say that he left some land-- possibly to the poor?-- best to get a native speaker to look at the record if you want to know for sure. hope that helps, :) Linda On Sunday, March 5, 2017 at 3:57:40 PM UTC-8, Lee wrote: > > Left side, middle - > > Manoel Pays, 70 years of age, widower of Dona Francisca, died on August > 24, 1698. > > I need help with the portion from about midway through the record to the > end. > > I can see mention of S.
