Death of Benjamin Monsanto, planter, took place at New Orleans. Property placed in care and charge of Mr. James McIntosh, until some person properly authorized shall appear to whom same may be delivered. Inventory to be made by Don Joseph Vidal and Don Antonio Cruzat. At plantation of Benjamin Monsanto, 3 miles from Post, Mrs. Marie Williams was there; said she had been left in charge of plantation, etc., by Monsanto and his wife when they went to New Orleans. Inventory: 500 arpents on St. Catherine's Creek, b. by David Williams, decd., and Don Juan Rodriguez, where Monsanto resided. Benjamin Monsanto's will: debts to be paid; $2500 milled coin to be paid to beloved wife immediately, being the sum she brought me in marriage, as will appear by our marriage contract deposited in Perdonn's office, the first year after the fire at New Orleans; negro boy "Hazard" does by right belong to my wife, he being her sole property and paid for with money of her own saving. If it embarrasses my brother to pay wife, he is to give good and undoubted security for same, and pay her regularly interest on same for maintenance; household goods belong to wife; one half of the residue to my beloved wife and one half to my brother. Wife and brother and friends, Bernard Lintot, Wm. Dunbar and David Williams, exrs. 25 January 1792.
