Will, KY, Hopkins, THOMAS OBRYAN 1818

In the name of God Amen.

I THOMAS OBRYAN of the county of Hopkins and state of Kentucky being in perfect
mind and memory calling to mind the immortality of my body and that it is once
appointed for all men to die to make, decree, and ordained this my last will and
testament.

FIRST I bequeath my soul to God my body to be interred in a decent and Christian
like Manner, and as to my worldly estate of which I am possessed of, I give and
disposed of in the following manner:

I GIVE to my well-beloved wife SILVANY OBRYAN the plantation on which I now live.
But if all the farm should not be needed for the support of my wife it shall be
rented and the benefit of which my son JOHN shall enjoy. I likewise give to my wife
my stock of every description, my farming utensils and household goods of all kinds
whatever during her natural life or widowhood.

AND as for my sons and daughters ALLEN OBRYAN, TURNER OBRYAN, REDDICK OBRYAN, and
JORDAN OBRYAN, CELIA STRAUGHAN, SALLY SANDERS, REBECCA MILLER, POLLY GAMBLIN, and
SILVANY TAYLOR, they have all received their equal shares.

IT IS LIKEWISE my will that my daughter FRANCES OBRYAN, my daughter now living with
me, shall have one bed and furniture and one cow and calf at the time of her
marriage or at the time she otherwise may wish to leave my family or at the death
of my wife. But if at the time of my daughter's marriage there is not stock
sufficient for my daughter to have a cow without my wife suffering for the same she
must wait till my wife's death and then receive the cow and her value or her value.

ALSO IT IS MY WILL that my sons THOMAS and JOHN OBRYAN shall have the land on which
I live to be equally divided between them, only my son JOHN to have my farm on on
his part and that my son JOHN shall have a horse beast to be valued to as much as
the one my son THOMAS has received, to be valued by the executor of my will or to
be worth $65, and that my son JOHN shall have a bed and furniture.

FURTHERMORE IT IS MY WILL at the death of my wife that JOHN and THOMAS shall enjoy
the benefit of all my farming utensils of every kind and it if my wife should marry
again that the benefit of my farm shall go directly to my son JOHN, and the farming
utensils be divided between my sons THOMAS and JOHN.

FURTHERMORE I WILL that my sons last mentioned shall have their education completed
out of the common stock of my property, JOHN to have at least 18 months more
schooling, at least.

AND WHEN MY PROPERTY IS DISPOSED OF as I have directed in this, my will, other
household goods or stock I wish my wife to dispose of the remaining as she may
please and think proper at her desk and it, my will that my property of every
description shall only be disposed of so as to meet the wants of my family.

I DO HEREBY APPOINT my son ALLEN OBRYAN, TURNER OBRYAN and REDDICK OBRYAN the sole
executor of this my last will and testament

And I do hereby disavow, revoke, and disannul all and every other former will and
testament by me in any wise before willed or bequeathed ratifying and confirming
this and no other to be my last will and no other.
