to write this Instrument of writing to be recorded in Bullitt Register as a 
perpetual testimony of this my last will and testament which I now make in 
the presence of god and the subscribing Witnefs.

when I die may be decently interred by my surviving friends and neighbors.  second.  I 
bequeath all I pofsefs both real and personal to my beloved wife Diana and son William 
to be held by them in common.  but on this condition that my wife may at her death have the 
disposal of the personal Estate but the real Estate shall forever appertain to my son to be 
held or disposed of by him after the death of his mother as he shall think proper.  But 
should my wife survive my son, in this case my wife shall become the sole pofsefser of the 
estate both real and personal.  Unto this my last will and testament I have set my hand and 
affixed my seal this 29th day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand Eight hundred
