In the name of God, Amen, I George Marks,  Lew.? (Farmer) of the county of
Nelson and State of Kentucky being in a very low state of health, but of
sound mind and memory and knowing that it is once appointed by God for all
men to die, do make this my last will and testament, first I recommend my
soul to God, who gave it my body be buried in decent, Christian like manner,
at the discretion of my executors, and as lacking such worldly estate
wherewith it has pleased God to bless me within this life, it is my will and
desire that I shall be desposed of in the following manner - I hereby
appoint my dearly beloved wife Sarah my executrise and my true and trusty
friends Jess Crume and Isaac Harrel (?) surveyor my executors - I further
appoint my trusty friends Ralph Crume, Bennet Lucas and McClellen
surveyors,all of Breckenridge County, to settle my  ? and to sell any part
or all of the lands I claim in sd county as they think proper and pay
themselves for their troubles out of said lands, and it is further my will
and desire that the money arrising from the sale of said lands may be by my
executors converted to the use of paying my just debts and render the
overplus to my beloved wife Sarah and two our dutiful sons Davis and George,
likewise my dutiful daughter Susannah - It is further my will and desire
that after my beloved wife Sarah hath received her third of my estate, that
the remainder be equally divided between my three children Susannah, Davis
and George.  It is further my will and desire that all the property I hold
in Nelson county, after my just debt are paid, remain in the possession of
my beloved wife Sarah (unless she sees proper to have it sold) until my sons
Davis and George come of age to legally heir an estate.  It is further my
will and desire that all the property heretofore given my daughter Susanna
remain with her and be peacebly possessed by her and her heirs - But is is
my will and desire that she shall receive no part of my lands, goods or
chattels lying or being in the county of Nelson. It is further my will and
desire that after my just debts are all paid the residue of lands goods, and
chattels all dues, debts and demands to be equally divided between my
beloved wife and sons, and be it known that all former wills and demises are
by this made void.  In testimony of which I have hereunto set my hand and
affirmed my seal this 10th day of January 1808.
