Preseley Bridwell Will

Book A Page 297 


      In the name of God amen. I, Preseley Bridwell of Spencer County and State 
of Kentucky, being weak in body but in perfect mind and memory do make and 
ordain this my last will and testament. First of all, I do recommend when it 
shall please God to remove me from this earth, my body to the dust of the earth 
from where it was taken, and my soul to God who gave it, and as touching 
worldly affairs do leave my estate, both real and personal, in the following 
manner, to wit, it is my will that my executors hereafter to be named pay all 
of my just debts and funeral expenses out of my estate. It is my will that my 
youngest son Barnet have the plantation wherein I live containing 108 acres, 
reserving for his use that part of it whereon my father and mother live during 
their lives. It is my will that my son Stephen Bridwell have the 60 acres of 
land whereon he now lives. It is my will that my son Coleman Bridwell have the 
plantation whereon he now lives containing 160 acres. It is my will that my 
daughter Peggy have one negroe girl named Lawry, about five years old, and also 
five hundred dollars in money. It is my will that my son Presley have five 
hundred dollars. It is my will that one negroe boy named George that my father 
and mother have use of during their natural lives and be sold and the money to 
be equally divided among my lawful heirs at their death. It is my will that all 
of the residue of my estate, both real and personal, be sold by my executors 
and the money arising from the sale thereof be equally divided amongst all of 
my lawful heirs except my daughter Linda; she is to have fifty dollars. Over 
and above the rest, it is my will that my son Stephen Bridwell and Stephen 
Beard be my executors. 


Dated 6-12-1832, with a notation that he died 10-22-1832.
