Included in the archive is an original handwritten copy of the will of Hugh Adams. Adams was a supporter of the American Colonization Society. Within his will, Adams settles his estate and specifically outlines his plan for emancipating his slaves and for funding their imposed emigration to Liberia. There are three files available: a PDF which was created from scans of the original document, a PDF created from scans of a transcription, and a text file created from the transcription.
