Will of Samuel Denney - Written 7 Aug. 1806 - Wayne Co.KY

Proved 9 May 1807, Wayne Co. KY

I, Samuel Denney of Wayne County, Kentucky, being frail in body though in sound mind and memory ... make this my last will and testament making void all other wills formerly by me made.

I give my soul to Almighty God who gave it to me. My will is that my body shall have a Christian like burial at the expense of my executors, if present, if not by my friends then present.

I do make and appoint my beloved wife Elizabeth and son William Denney, my Executors to settle all my worldly affairs as follows: my will is that all my just and lawful debts be justly paid.

I leave my beloved wife to have the power to consent to sell my land or not any time ...(illegible).. the sale during her life and to have one third (1/3) of the profits of said place during her life with the bedding and household affairs necessary for housekeeping and house if she requires it with a certain bay horse known by the name of Dick.

I leave to my beloved sons, Benjamin and Ezariah Denney my land to be equally divided between them after the decease of their mother also I leave to them each a mare, to wit - a gray to Ezariah and a bay to Benjamin now called their property.

I leave all my live stock that not heretofore spoken of in the hands of my sons, to wit - Benjamin and Ezariah for their support and to enable them to pay the state price of the land in the case one or both should marry - I wish the fore mentioned stock to be divided into 3 equal shares between them both and their mother and each to have their third part.

I leave all the balance of my livestock after the sale price of the land is paid to be equally divided between all my children, to wit - John, Samuel, William, Sarah, Benjamin and Ezariah for which purpose I set my hand and seal this 7 August 1806.

Samuel Denney,
