    I, Sarah HARRIS of the County of Bullitt and State of Kentucky being of lawful age and 
of sound mind, and knowing the uncertianty of life, and the certianty of death, made this my 
last will and testament in manner and form following:
    1st, after I am dead and buried, I want my brother Lewis HARRIS to pay all my funeral 
expenses out of my estate. 
    2nd, I give to Betty WISE (of Col) my large wheel and reel, my pot mettle and my 
cupboard ware, except for two dishes, and five dollars in money. 
    3rd, I give and bequeath which I will hereafter name to my above named brother Lewis 
HARRIS two beds and bedding, two chests, one bureau, one large rocking chair, one note on 
Thomas JACKSON for three hundred and twenty dollars, and one on Brinton HARRIS for seventy 
dollars. My reasons for doing so is that I have lived with him and he has taken care of me 
ever since the death of my father, and for the last eight years I have been afflicted so I 
have not been able to get about the most of the time, and my brother Lewis HARRIS has taken 
care and provided for me. If the notes spoken of above should be paid me in my lifetime, and 
I should have the money in my possession or should loan it out to any other personor persons 
at my death, I wish my brother Lewis HARRIS have it all with the interest andif the notes 
should have to be sued on I wish Lewis to collect them in his own name. In witness whereof I 
have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 20th day of February 1871.        Sarah
