In the name of God amen I OVERTON CRENSHAW of Bullitt County and State of Kentucky being of 
sound mind and disposing memory, for which I thank God and calling to mind the uncertainty of life and 
being desirous to dispose of all such mortally estate as it hath pleased God to bless one with I give and 
bequeath the same in manner and form following:

1st I desire that my personal property be sold as soon as practicable after my death and the money arising 
therefrom be divided as follows:

To my Grand Daughters ELIZA OWENS and VINETTA OWENS each Fifty Dollars.

To my Grand Son in Missouri, son of .... I give one hundred dollars to be placed in the hands of my son 
WILLIAM CRENSHAW until he reaches the age of twenty one  years.  The balance of the money arising 
from the sale of my personal estate, with all the rest of my estate, both real and personal, I 
wish to be equally divided amongst my four children, BLUFORD CRENSHAW, ADALINE STRINGER,

Testament with full power to act as may be deemed necessary So as to affect a division among the

JOHN W. BUKY   WILLIAM S. SHAW

Recorded 20 April 1840 Bullitt Co. KY Court

I cannot make out the parent of the grandson in Missouri.  It could be anything all though it looks sort of 
like Orvell (I thnk it begins with an A or an O) but he does not mention a child with that name so whoever 
he is he must be deceased?
