Madison County Will Book D pp.83-4

In the name of God amen I John White of Madison County and the State of
Kentucky being sick but of Sound & perfect mind & memory do make and
Establish this my last Will and testament in manner as follows   first my
desire is that all my Just debts be paid and the remainder of my property
both real and personal be so divided between all my children   that is the
heirs of my son James White    my daughter Anna Oldham    my daughter Polly
Oldham   the heirs of my daughter Peggy Parks    my daughter Jerusha
Tribble   my daughter Hannah Oldham   my daughter Rachael White   my son
Jacob S. White   my son Daniel White  my son Richard White   my son John
White that their portions or legacies may be Eaqual (sic) and for that
purpose I have made the following  Schedule of what I have heretofore given
to each of them or the amount thereof  as nearly as I can recollect in
silver dollars   I have heretofore gave to my son James White about fifteen
hundred dollars  To my daughter Anna Oldham I have gave to the amount of
one thousand dollars   To my daughter Polly Oldham I have gave to the
amount of one thousand dollars    To my daughter Peggy Parks to the amount
of one thousand dollars  To my daughter Jerusha Tribble to the amount of
seven hundred dollars   To my daughter Hannah Oldham to the amount of seven
hundred dollars    To my daughter Rachael White I have gave a Negro Girl by
the name of America with some other property which I do not intend to be
considered as forming any part of her legacy.  I therefore consider her as
not having received anything only what she has meritted (sic) by Extra
services rendered to me and my family   To my Son Jacob S. White I have
gave to the amount of two hundred dollars   To my Son Daniel White I have
gave a negroe (sic) Boy by the name of Levi & other property to the amount

children who have received as Expressed above the large portions of my
Estate shall not receive anything more and those who have not received so
much be made Eaqual with them and if any part of my Estate shall then
remain my wish then is that so shall be Eaqually divided among them all.
Lastly I do hereby constitute & appoint my son Jacob S. White & my son in
law Silas Tribble my Executors of this my last will and testament.  In
testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 12th
Day in February in the year of our Lord 1825.
