Will Book 4, page 10-11, Green Co., Ky - 3 Aug., 1869

My wife, Mary, gets the west end of my farm on which I now live, bounded
on the upper corner of the cliff spring bottom on Green River--northward to
the SE corner of my peach orchard--northward to a pear tree at the east end
of my yard in the old lane--about 100 yards below the old tobacco house,
including the same to a cross fence which runs to the river, including the
dwelling house where I now live, and the kitchen and household furniture,
stock, and farm tools. The balance of my estate is to be divided among my
children: Barnett Marcum, Fanny Dearen, Ruth V.Webb, William Marcum, Berry
B. Marcum, Thomas B. Marcum, John R. Marcum, George W. Marcum, James H.
Marcum, Daniel F. Marcum, Lucy J. Bland, and Andrew B. Marcum, except $10
which I give to my daughter, Lourainy Montgomery.           To make my
children equal, except the said Lourainy, I charge the following sums up to
those that have received the same which I have given to and paid out for
their benefit. My son, George W. has lived on my Wade farm till the rents amount   
to $200 which I charge him with. I charge my son, John R. with $400, money paid 
for him in defending him in his lawsuits, and for raising his 2 sons. I charge
my son, Barnett Marcum with $25, money paid out for him. I charge Fanny
Dearen with $50, money paid out for her in winding up the estate of John E.
Lasley, her first husband.

My 3 sons, Thomas B., Daniel F., and Andrew B. Marcum, get $50 each, and
Andrew B. gets a cow and calf, which is not to be charged to him in the
division I give the last mentioned sum and cow and calf to Thomas B., D.F.,
and Andrew to make them equal with my other children.

Exec: My sons, Andrew B. Marcum and Berry B. Marcum
