Source: Union County, Kentucky, Will Book  B , pages 500 & 501


In the name of God , Amen.  I Fielding Bishop being of sound mind and
retentive memory do proclaim this my last will and testament.  As to my body 
I wish after death I wish my friends to make such disposition of it as they 
think best.

I wish all my debts paid by selling as much of my personal property as will 
pay them, then I wish my beloved wife Mary Jane to have all of my personal 
property that is left after paying the above debts.  I which her to have my 
rone horse and black mare, all so my two cows and calves and six of my best 
hogs for her ???? and one sow and pigs and all of my household and kitchen 
furniture  and two best plows and two pair of gearing. All the poultry on 
the farm, and two hundred and fifty bushels of corn and 30 bushels of wheat 
and five bushels of oats for seed and all the present crop of hay and the 
house and land until my son Joseph William is 21 years of age and then I 
wish my son J. William to have one half of the land upon which I live and 
after the death of my wife I wish him to have all of the tract of land.

I wish my daughter Nancy to have all of my interest that is in the
????? Estate and if the Estate should be settled before she is 21 years old 
or she marries I wish it paid over to my administrator.  I have 68 ½ acres 
of land on the Ohio River which I wish to be sold when the balance of the 
same tract is sold and if said land should bring more than I gave for it I 
wish the remainder to be given to my daughter Nancy to be placed in the 
hands of my Administrator until she is of age or marries and then to be 
paid.

I wish my friend Thomas W. Cambel to become my administrator.

I wish then in case either of my children should die the property to be 
passed to the other and in case they should both die I wish it all to go to 
my wife Mary Jane.

Signed and delivered into the hands of D. Stone this the 23rd of June 1860.


Signed

Fielding Bishop
