Know all men by these present that I Elizabeth Stilly of the Parish of
St. Helena and Territory of Orleans do give grant and make over to James
Holloway my son and the son of John Holloway dec'd and one of his heirs, for
whom I have been guardian a certain negroe woman named Lucey together with
her two children named Jeffrey & Isaac, and also her future increase for
and in consideration of the sum of two hundred dollars due by me as
guardian to the said James in the year 1800 which said negroe woman and
children do of right belong to the said James Holloway as son and heir of
John Holloway in as much as the said negroe woman Lucey was originally
the property of the said John Holloway dec'd and the said James and his heirs
I do warrant and defend from me and my heirs forever. In witness whereof I do
hereby set my hand and seal this 23rd Dec 1811.
