Note: Como todos sus descendientes de esta rama, era agricultor. Los documentos nos dan un detalle de interest: era colono ("l'amo") del predio denominado con el toponimo arabe de "Rafal" (de "rahl", casa de campo). Serafin Palliser fallecio en Alayor y fue sepultado el dia 24 abril de 1588. Habia recibido los ultimos sacramentos. El dia 18 del mismo mes y ano, testo ante el Discreto Mossen Antonio Xalpes, notario; nombro albaceas a su mentada esposa Margarita Pons y a su hermano Cristobal Palliser. Quiso ser enterrado en la tumba de los Palliser en la iglesia parroquial de Santa Eulalia, de dicha villa de Alayor. Dispuso que el dia de su entierro se cantase Misa votiva de la Inmaculada Concepcion de la Virgen. Encargo la celebracion de las misas que entonces se llamaban de San Amador y de la "Sirventa", a mas de las tres del dia de Navidad. Para sus exequia mando se hiciesen antorchas por valor de cinco libras. Dispuso que su cuer po fuese llevado a enterrar por cuatro pobres, a cada uno de los cuales so daria "dos sous de caritat". Hizo dar limosnas a los cepillos de las cofradias del Corpus Christi, de Nuestra Senora de la Rosa, de las Animas de Purgatorio y del Santuario de Nuestra Senora de El-Toro� Son notas curiosas e interesantes, que nos hacen ver la piedad del difunto y el buen esta do economico de esta familia.
(Like all descendants of this branch he worked the land. The documents provide an interesting detail: he was a tenant (owner) of a estate with the Arab toponym "de Rafal" (de "rahl," country house). Serafin Palliser died in Alayor and was buried on the 24th of April of 1588. He received the last rites. On the 18th day of the same month and year, before the parish priest and notary Antonio Xalpes, he designated his wife Margarita Pons and his brother Cristobal Palliser executors of his will. His wish was to be buried in the Palliser's grave in the parish church of Santa Eulalia, in the village of Alayor. He disposed that a mass to the Virgen of the Immaculate Conception be sung on the day of his burial. He arranged for the celebration of masses, known as of " San Amador" and of the "Sirvienta," in addtion to the three masses on Christmas Day. He ordered torches for his funeral at a cost of five pounds. He disposed that four paupers carry his body, and that two alms be given to each of them. He ordered that alms be given to the collection boxes of the brotherhoods of Corpus Christi, of Nuestra Se�ora de la Rosa, of the Animas de Purgatorio, and of the Santuario de Nuestra Senora de El Toro. These interesting notes reveal the piety of the deceased and the economic prosperity of this family. (Menorca Archives: Palliser History)
