In the name of God, Amen.  I Richard Deshazo of said state and county 
being of advanced age and knowing that I must shortly depart from this 
world, deem it right and proper both as respect myself and familiy that 
I should make a disposition of the property with which a kind Providence 
has blessed me.  I therefore make this my last Will and Testament hereby
 revoking and annuling all others made by me or any other disposition 
which I have made of all of any part of my Estate.

Item First:	I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent 
and christian like manner suitable to my circumstances and condition my 
soul I trust shall return to rest with God who gave it as I hoope for 
salvation through the blessed Son and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Item Second: I desire and direct that all my first debts be paid without 
delay by my Executors hereafter named as I am unwilling my Executors 
should be delayed of their rights especially as there is no necessity 
for delay.

Item third:  I give and devise to my wife Mary with whom I have lived 
some five years and she has now at this time quit my bed and board 
without cause or provacation shown only through to a malignant spirit 
towards me.  I therefore, give devise and bequeath unto my wife, Mary, 
twenty five dollars;  it being all I am willing to give her of my estate.

Item fourth:  I give and bequeath to my two daughters, Susan and Eliza, 
or Louisa, all my entire estate.  Let it consist of what it may, land 
or negroes or any other property.  It is my desire that these two 
daughters shall equally divide or that my Executors shall divide my 
entire Estate between those my beloved daughters and if it cannot be 
equally divided that my Executors do sell such of the Estate that cannot
be equally divided between them and make an equal distribution of the 
money that the property sold for.

Item Fifth:  Now in case of the death of one of those my daughters, it 
is my will for the surviving daughter to heir the Estate of the deceased
one and that my executors will see that all things be done according to 
my will.

Item Sixth:  Now in the case of the death of both of my beloved daughters,
I give and bequeath and desire that the Estate of my two daughters go 
to my beloved Brother and Sister.  But, in case of either of them bear 
children, then their Estate shall go to the children or child of their 
body.

Item Seventh:    I constent and appoint my worthy friend Crawford Hart 
Executor of this my last Will and Testament.  March 12th 1852.
