The Will of B.C. Caughron
18 August 1873 Pulaski County, Kentucky
Book 7 Page 28

In the name of God, Amen.  I, B.C. Caughron of the county of Pulaski and
State of Kentucky being sick and weak of body but perfect and sound of mind 
and memory, and calling to mind the mortality of the body and that it is
appointed to a man once to die, do by these present make, constitute and 
appoint this my last will and testament in manner and form following, to wit:  
My will and desire that after my decease, my body be committed to the earth 
from whence it was taken, in decent Christian-like manner by my surviving 
friends and that all my fees and debts be paid out of my remaining estate by 
my executrix.  I appoint my beloved wife, Elizabeth E. Caughron, to wind up 
my estate without her giving bond.  My will and desire is that my beloved 
wife, Elizabeth E. Caughron, have and hold all of my personal property to 
dispose of as she pleases.  I have given my son, Joel Thomas Caughron, the 
sum of one hundred and fifteen dollars.  My will and desire is that Caroline 
E. Caughron have one hundred and fifteen dollars out of my estate.  Also 
Theophilus W. Caughron [and] Sarah E. Caughron all have one hundred and 
fifteen dollars to make them equal to the amount that I have given to Joel 
Thomas Caughron, to be given at the decision of my executrix, Elizabeth E. 
Caughron.  My will and desire is that my wife, Elizabeth E. Caughron, have 
the tract of land on which I now reside, to have and to hold it, and the 
proceeds arising from [quid] farm to have and to hold during her natural 
life and after her death, that all my real and personal estate be divided 
among my heirs equally, to wit, Joel Caughron, C.E. Caughron, T.W. Caughron, 
S.E. Caughron.

In testimony whereof I set my hand and first my seal.
