William paying interest on the amount of sd. legacy that may come into his hands while it remains therein, and also giving bond and security for the faithful discharge of sd. trust. But I have already paid Alcy, a portion of this legacy, which I have receipts for this and whatever I may advance to herof my property before my death is to be deducted out of this $800. Then William is to purchase with the remainder of this money a piece of land for the use and benifit of Alcy and her children forever, but is in nowise to be sold for her husband's debts. To my son William H. Kevil, $800, but I have already advanced to him some portion of my property for which I hold the receipts and note. This and whatever advancements I may hereafter make him before my death is to deducted out of this $800 before it is paid to him. To my son Drury M. Kevil, $800, but I have already made some advancements which I hold his receipts. These and whatever advancements I may make to him out of my property before my death is to be deducted out of this $800 before it is paid to him. I direct that the foregoing legacys to Alcy H. Hayes, William H. Kevil and Drury M. Kevil be paid to them in equal installments in and (sic) two years after my death after deducting the advancements. My executor may sell as much of the loose property that can be most conveniently spared for the purpose of paying my debts and the above legacys. To my beloved wife, all the land (including the houses) lying on the south side of the road running by my house, the same that I now live on; also 115 acres of the Asenbangh tract commencing on my line next to Urey's land and running with Urey's line until it comes opposite Macy Bond's field, running down with sd. field fence nearly opposite her house, when I shall make a corner, thence commencing on a white oak corner of my old survey, thence running up the creek far enough to make the 115 acres. This is intended to give my wife timber enough to support the old place. This land my wife is to have during her life. This land, 115 acres, I value at $4 per acre, and the old place at $12 per acre; the old place my wife is to have during her life also. My wife shall have as much during her life of the household and kitchen furniture, horse, cattle, sheep, hogs and farming utensils that she may need, she being the judge, for her support and to carry on the farm. Also give to my wife, half of all my negoes, such as she may choose, including those that I have in the possession of my children, but the negoes I gave to my children, she is not to take from them. Those negroes my wife is to have during her life, but if she should marry, she is not to have the one half of the negoes as above stated, but is to take one third of the negroes that is in my possession at my death. During her life she is to have such negroes as she may chooseto make one third. To my daughter, Neicy Francis Jones Kevil, at my wife's death, the above mentioned portion of land I have given my wife; also negro girl Martha, at the price of $650, and then is to be paid to her in money enough to make her equal to James, Mary Ann and Macy in the negroes I have given them. In case negro Martha should die before Neicy should arrive at the age of 21 years, James E. Kevil, Mary Ann Rice (formerly Kevil) and Mary N.

The land I give to Neicy at my wife's death I vlaue at 115 of the Asenbaugh tract at $4 per acre and the old place at $10 per acre. To my son, James E. Kevil, the tract of land he now lives on, the same I purchased of Jonathan Ruker, above 170 acres; also the 39 acres, same I purchased of Tunis Dyer. I give him these lands at theprice mentioned in the deeds to same, but not to be less than $1400. This land he is to take at the above price as a portion of my estate; also give him the negro boy Allen now in his possession, at the price of $900. To my daughter Macy N.

In case any of the Asenbaugh place should be taken away from my daughter, Macy, my other heirs should make up to her the amount of the loss, to wit James and Mary N.; also they are to make up any loss that may be in the possession given to my wife.

Uriah Stevens and Nancy Keville left Kentucky in 1809 or 1810, and migrated southward. In 1810, they were in Amite County, Mississippi, and in 1812 Uriah Stevens claimed and settled on land in Louisiana. The land office in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana issued Certificate #631 to Uriah Stevens who was "...entitled to a section of land, situated in his Parish of St. Tammany on which he now resides as an actual settler and so reported to the Commissioner in his Report of Actual Settlement Claims." Section 46 was 269 acres and Section 43 was 369 acres laid out along the Tangipahoa River. They lived on property located near Mt. Stevens and Stevens (Tycar Road) Cemeteries east of Tickfaw, Louisiana - lying between LA Route 1065 and the Tangipahoa River. Following the death of Uriah and Nancy Stevens, the estate was composed of 1519 acres - all but 640 acres were sold by a sheriff's sale to settle the estate for the heirs.

"Uriah Stevens died on October 21, 1855, probably of typhoid fever, as this was noted by the attending physician to have been the cause of death of his sons, John Benjamin and Calvin. They are believed to be buried in the old Stevens Cemetery located on Tycer Road east of Tickfaw, Louisiana, and a grave marker has been installed there for them."
