April 24, 1852       WILL OF ADELIZA QUAYS      SUCC: F-160

State of Louisiana, Parish of Carroll, Apr 24, 1852
Know by all these presents that I, Adeliza Quays, being of sound mind but weak in body, and
knowing the uncertainty of life, do make this my last will and testament, hereby annuling and
revoking all other wills heretofore made by me: 

First - It is my will that all my just debts be paid as soon as can be conveniently done.

Second - I give and bequeath to my beloved husband Philip D. Quays 1/4 of my property at the
time of my death, the balance and residue of my property to be equally divided between my three
children, named Delphine Quays, Amy Quays and Philip D. Quays, Jr.  It is likewise my wish
that the property be kept together until the majority of my heirs. 

Third - I hereby appoint my beloved husband Philip D. Quays my executor and hereby dispense
him from giving security, placing my unlimited confidence in his integrity and sense of right. 

Fourth - It is also my will and desire that my father Robert Anderson be appointed undertutor of
my children and in default of him, I desire that one of my blood relations be appointed such
undertutor. 

Signed: Adeliza Quays.  Witnessed: Robert Anderson, Hercules Hillman and Thomas V. Davis
