Be it known to all whom it may concern, that I, George Reves, of Warren 
County, Kentucky, being in my proper mind and memory, do hereby constitute and 
ordain this my last will and testament, to wit:
First of all I direct my executor to sell my negro man "Lusty," gray mare, 
still and aparatus, together with all the stock that my Executor think proper, 
that may be spared from the family to pay all my just debts, and, should the 
above named property not be sufficient, my Executor may select such property 
as may seem best to satisfy my debts.
2nd. I give to my loving wife, Elizabeth Reves, my negro man Jacob, boy Dudly 
Isaac, my negro woman Silvia Eliza and girl Agnes, together with all the land, 
household and kitchen furniture, and farming utensils, together with all the 
stock not otherwise appropriated, to have and to hold during her natural life 
or widowhood, but if Elizabeth Reves should marry, any one of the legatees 
shall compell her to take her third of my estate.
3rd.  I give my daughter, Susan Heard, one negro girl named Maria.
4th. I give to my daughter, Polly M. Reeves, one negro girl by the name of 
Mary and one bed and furniture.
5th. I give to my daughter, Nancy Reves, one negro girl, Rachel, and one bed 
and furniture. 
Each of the daughters above named shall receive the above negroes and bed when 
married or becomes of lawful age, but if the value of said negroes and beds be 
more than their proportionate or equal part, they shall refund back to the 
other legatees so as to make them equal.
Be it further understood that all my estate at my wife's death shall be 
equally divided between my sons, to wit:  Walter A. Reves, Curtis F. Reves, 
Jesse B. Reves, Peter M. Reves, William H. Reves, Sidney Preston Reves and 
George H. Reves, and be it further understood that my son Walter A. Reves 
shall have a young rone horse, exclusively of his proportion of my estate.
Be it further understood that last of all, I do hereby constitute and ordain 
John Heard and John Thompson my sole executors of this my last will and 
testament.
In witness whereof, I hereby set my hand and seal this twentieth day of 
October in the year of my Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-Six.

                                    George Reves

Signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of
James Otey 
Allen Taylor
