Excerpts from the will of Jesse E. Hedrick’s sister, Sarah Hedrick Scobee (1818-1901), dated November 20th, 1897 [See The Winchester [KY] Democrat, Tuesday, June 4, 1901]:

"To her niece, Mrs. Alice Watson, of East Orange, New Jersey, $500 to be hers absolutely free from the control of her husband…

To her brother, Jesse E. Hedrick, the use of $1,000 during his life, to be applied in the discretion of a trustee; if any part of this should be left at his death it should go to his daughter, Mrs. Alice Watson…

To her nephews, Scott and Joe Hedrick, nothing on account of their profligate habits and neglect of their father.

Nothing to her sister, Mrs. Mary T. Hunt, as she has plenty."
