What did Marie Rouensa's will state?

Marie's son, Michael Accault, did return, renouncing his Indian heritage as she wished, to claim his considerable inheritance.

After Marie's death, the estate was inventoried and a value placed on each object--nearly a hundred listings, totaling over 45,000 livres, not including the maize on the stalk. Marie's husband retained half the land and property; the remaining half was divided equally among her eight children. Her daughter Agnes took over the care of her two young sisters.
