Whereas Nancy or Ann Boggess departed this life on the 20th day of April
1819 and in the presents of two witnesses, to wit: Peggy Athison(?) and her
son Peter Boggess made her nuncupative will as followeth. To wit:

Muhlenberg County, State of Kentucky. Nancy or Anna Boggess Will
Being present on the 14th day of April 1819 at the home of Lemuel Boggess
where his mother lay on her death bed, she said it was her desire that if
any thing was got of Brother William B. Smith's estate, Thomas Bells wife
should have an equal part with the rest of her children. Dividing the same
into nine parts, she Hanna Bell should have one part. Mrs. Boggess being
asked if she was in her senses she answered she was and repeated the same
Gift over again. By which sundry lands, Slaves and personal Estate which
descended from her brother William Bailey Smith were to be equally divided
between her children, Joel Boggess, Richard Boggess, William Boggess, Peter
A. Boggess, Warren Boggess, Ellen Price, Lemuel Boggess, Robert Boggess and
her grand daughter Hanna Bell, formerly Hanna Boggess. And as we are
desirous to Carry the Will of said Anna or Nancy into effect with as little
Expence and trouble as possible We do severally agree That this will shall
be proved by whoever may Administer on the said Anns estate and be
considered as her last Will and Testament and be as obligating on each of us
as if the same Had been reduced to writing and tested agreeably to law. In
witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and Seals this 27th day of
April 1819.
