Will of Deiphae Duberry, Madison Co., MS, Will Book A

I, Deiphae Duberry of Madison County & state of Mississippi being now of a proper & sound
mind but feeble health and knowing that at best my earthly stay will be short and feeling anxious
that the effects or property of which I am now lawfully possessed should be disposed of after my
decease is quiet & peaceable among my children I do make the following disposition as my last
will and testament.

That my remains be interred in a decent manner, and that all expenses arising therefrom be
defrayed out of my estate.

That all just claims against me be paid.

That all my Negroes, viz. Sarah, Moses, Aaron, & Charles be valued and that all them except
Moses be sold in such terms as may best suit the interest of the estate.  And it is my will that the
net proceeds of the sales of my Negroes Sarah, Aaron & Charles and my other  effects, and also
four hundred dollars now in the hands of my son Wm. E. Duberry be divided among my children
as follows, viz. to Lemuel Duberry my oldest son, my executor pay twenty dollars and the
remainder be equally divided share and share alike between Deletha Horn, the heirs of my
deceased daughter Elizabeth Dulany (that is to say they collectively have the share), William E.
Duberry, Priscilla Shoud wife of R. B. Shoud and Delphia S. wife of Morgan [?] Adair.

I hereby bequeath to James N. S. Duberry my Negro boy Moses about eight or nine years old and
a note I hold against him for twenty five dollars.  I bequeath to Betsey Duberry my grand
daughter my bed and furniture.

I hereby appoint & request Morgan Adair to be the executor of this my last will & testament and
do by these presents empower him to collect from my son William E. Duberry four hundred
dollars now in his hands and carry out will as expressed in the foregoing instrument.  Sharon
March 8th, 1847.  /s/ Deiphae Duberry
