In the name of God Amen, I William Moore of the county of Franklin and State of Ky, being weak in body, but of sound and disposing mind, aware of the certainty of death and the
uncertainty of life do make this my last will and testament as follows, to wit:
First, I desire all my just debts to be paid in the first place.
Secondly, I will and bequeath unto my wife, Jane Moore the farm on which I live and all the stock thereon and all other property whatever which I own to have and to hold use and
enjoy her natural life. Provided, however, that should she marry during her life then and in that case she shall (after marriage) have only one third part of the property herein before
bequeathed to her and shall have that third part only for and during her natural life.
Thirdly, I will and bequeath to my son William Peyton Moore all the property herein before bequeathed to my wife (during her life) to have and to hold the same after the death of
my wife, but not until her death. Provided that my said son at the death of my wife pay to my daughters, Elizabeth Gibbs and Clarinda Corbin fifty dollars each.
Fourthly, Should my wife during her life and after my death again marry, it is my desire that the two thirds of the property herein before devised to her which she will thereby forfeit
(by such marriage) shall there upon belong to my said son William Moore forever.
Fifth, I will to my daughter Mary Taylor one dollar.
Sixth, I appoint my wife Jane Moore and my son William P. Moore, my executors to carry this my last will into effect. Witnessed my hand this 21st December 1860.
