Further, Raymond Demere stated that if Georgia would not allow such actions, that the said Joy, Rose, Jim, and John be moved to a state that would allow them freedom. If they stayed in Georgia, they were to get 4 cows and 4 calves each from the Demere stock, lots of land on St. Simons for them to live on and cultivate, and Rose was to receive a yearly stipend of $75 and an extra $75 until her son John is 21 years of age. All of this to happen within one year of Raymond's death.

Not only did Rose receive this yearly sum, but she was to receive an extra $1000 for John's education. On 9 August 1828, a codicil was added to the will where provisions for Rose and Joy were extended for 3 years instead of the one year before stated in the will. Rose's annuity was to be paid to her bi-annually.

If John was forced to leave Georgia, Raymond Demere requested that he be given Jim & George, sons of Priscilla and Peggy, or to be given the proceeds of the sale of these two boys. He also requested that Rose get Sally for 3 years.

The writing in the will, versus the  writing on the inventory, brings some confusion to the actual names of Joy and Jim. In the inventory their names look like Jay and Tom.

Although the inventory did not designate families, from reading this will, and finding the aforementioned enslaved people in the inventory, one could surmise that they are listed in a familial way. We could assume that Peggy was the mother of Luke, Phillis, Sharper, Rachell, April, the said George [to be given to Rose's John], and a 6 day old infant.

Priscilla could be the mother of Fanny and Jim [to be given to John]. We also see that Joy/Jay just might be the father of Rose's two boys, quite possibly her husband.

All of these actions were to be held in trust by Raymond's two grandsons, Joseph & Lewis of Lampidoser (in Camden County), and John Couper. Grandson Joseph was to receive half of the estate, while the other grandsons, Lewis, John, and Paul were to split the other half.

The underscoring is added by me to note that a space was found between names. Possibly suggesting groups of enslaved, either as laborers, house servants, etc., or as lots to be divided amongst Raymond's heirs. More records can be found in the accountings done at the time of his death [i.e. enslaved people sold, payment from certain enslaved people being hired out, etc.].
