These abstracts were taken from the Original Probate files and loose Original
records recovered from the basement of the courthouse in Harrisonburg, La. 
They are not a complete listing.  It seems, that when the courthouse was last
remodeled and the addition was made to the original structure, which houses
the Clerk of Court's office and other offices, that an effort was made by the
Mr. Book who was then Clerk to arrange the loose originals in time for the
rededication of the courthouse and corresponding with the American
Bi-centennial Celebration in 1976.  Time ran short and many errors in stuffing
the envelopes occurred in filing.  A volunteer later created an index, but
only used the name on the envelope, not the actual contents, some which should
actually have been placed in another file.


     Filed as A-11:  Succession of Spencer Adams.
Petition for Administration dated 19 Sep 1853 by Wm. A. Adams, represents that
his father, Spencer Adams, recently died intestate in Catahoula Parish. 
William was appointed Administrator 21 Nov 1853.
Inventory of the Estate was dated 5 Oct 1853 and included no land.  The
personal effects were appraised by John Scothorn and Isaac D. Adams and
totalled $1370.00.
