I, Anthony Thompson of Daviess Co, Ky (Owensboro is Co seat on Ohio River 
above Evansville, Ind & away below Louisville, KY) wills as follows: 1st to my 
wife Rachel to be sole Exrx etc.  She to hold entire real & personal estate 
during her life or widowhood to be equally divided amongst my surviving heirs 
as she sees proper in her lifetime to devise.  If she sees fit to marry, she 
will then by my Exr no longer, but if any of my heirs are dissatisfied, they 
must remember that their beloved mother was always their mainstay in sickness 
or health, at home or abroad by night or by day, therefor [sic] I have thought 
it my indispensable duty to appoint her sole Exr ever knowing she will execute 
justice among them.  All this I have written with my own hand & desire it to 
be kept in possession of my wife until necessary to record the same.  Dated 
Aug 20, 1829 Anthony Thompson (seal) witness George Leachman

400 A of land on which I live & reserves six rods square where my son & some 
of my grandchildren & old W. Handley is buried never to be sold but kept for a 
burying ground for all our relations who may see proper to bury there.
Also, I reserve one acre of ground for the use of the Meth Epis Church to be 
laid off in a square & a deed made to the church forever where the present 
meeting house & burial ground now stands.  Dated Oct 23, 1830
            Anthony Thompson
As a further codicil, I will & devise that Gardner Fitts shall have no control 
over any part of my land further than to live on it where he has made his

purchase same but I do devise that my daughter Julia & children shall have 
theirs.
