Laurel County, Kentucky

In the name of God Amen.

I Isaac Forbes being sound in mind & but feeble in body, do make this my
last Will & Testament utterly revoking all former wills made by me. In the
first place I do will & ordain all my Just debts to be paid and if I have
property enough to pay all my Just debts without my plantation & mill, I do
will & ordain that my beloved wife Elizabeth have the place & mill during
her Natural life and then after her death I want the place & mill sold and
an equal division to take place between all my children. And I do further
will & ordain that Samuel Wilson & Thomas Jones of said County be appointed
as my Executor to settle my business after my death and I do request that
the said Wilson & Jones will manage my property as they think best to
Settle my just debts. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand &
affixed my seal this 16th day of August in the year of our Lord one
Thousand eight hundred and thirty one.
