Bullitt County, Kentucky  Will Book A p. 76   
Executed March 29, 1814
Recorded July 6, 1815

In the name of God amen I Peter Rickets of Bullitt County and State of Kentucky being very sick in body 
but perfectly sound in mind and memory do make and ordain this my last will and testament and as it hath 
pleased God in this life to bless me with some worldly goods I do give and bequeath them in the following 
manner. 

It is my wish and desire that my wife Mary Rickets shall have the full command and power of every thing 
that I possess during her natural life and at her decease to her disposed of as she may think adequate and 
just among my children and grand children. As witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed 
my seal this twenty ninth day of March, one thousand eight hundred fourteen. 

Peter Ricketts [SEAL]
