KY, written on the 12th of February 1825 and filed in open court in Madison County Kentucky on the 31st of May 1825. In the name of God Amen. I, John White Sr., of Madison County and State of Kentucky, being sick but of sound and perfect mind and memory, do make and establish this my last will and testament in manner as follows. First my desire is that all my Just debts be paid and the remainder of my property both real and personal be so divided between my children that is, the heirs of my son James White, my daughter Anna Oldham, my daughter Polly Oldham, the heirs of my daughter Peggy Parker, my daughter Jerusha Tribble, my daughter Hannah Oldham, my daughter Rachel White, my son Jacob S. White, my son Daniel White, my son Richard White , my son John White, that their portions of legacies may be equal and for that purpose I have made the following schedule of what I have heretofore given to each of them or the amount thereof as nearly as I can recollect in silver dollars. I have heretofore gave to my son James White about fifteen hundred dollars. To my daughter Anna Oldham I have gave to the amount of one thousand dollars. To my daughter Polly Oldham I have gave to the amount of one thousand dollars. To my daughter Peggy Parker to the amount of one hundred dollars. To my daughter Hannah Oldham to the amount of seven hundred dollars. To my daughter Rachael White I have gave a negro by the name of America with some other property which I do not intend to be considered as forming any part of her legacy. I therefore consider her as not having received anything only what she has merited by extra services rendered to me and family. To my son Jacob S. White I have gave to the amount of two hundred dollars. To my son Daniel White I have gave a Negro boy by the name of Levi and other property to the amount of five hundred dollars. To my son John White I have gave no real property I therefore consider him as having received nothing. My desire therefore is that those of my children who have received as expressed above, the largest portions of my estate, shall not receive anything now until those who have not received so much be made equal with them and if any part of my estate shall then remain, my wish is that it shall be equally divided among them all. Lastly I do constitute an appoint my son Jacob S. White and my son in law Silas Tribble my Executors of this my last will and testament. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 12th day of February in the year of our lord 1825 John White seal Witness--John Tribble--Samuel Harris Kentucky, Madison County.
