Be it remembered that I, John Warfield of the County of Franklin & State of Kentucky, being sick and infirm of body though of sound mind & well disposing memory, having a desire
to dispose of the property that God has blessed me with, doth this day make ordain & constitute this my last will & testament, that is, after all my just debts & funeral expenses are
paid, my wish & desire is that the residue of my property be disposed of as follows~
1st~ My body to be decently interred in the earth and my soul return to God who gave it.
2~ I give to my three children, Mary Olive Warfield, Isabel Warfield, Jeremiah Warfield & Sarah Jane Foster my entire estate both real & personal of all such as shall be left after my
debts & funeral expenses are paid, to be equally divided between them. The said Sarah Jane Foster being an infant child born & living in my family.
3~ I further wish that Ann Foster who now resides in my family shall continue to do so as long as she may wish, if she remains single and conducts herself prudently and assist in
conducting the affairs of the house & farm, so far as it will be in their interest to do so.
4~ I hereby appoint my friend Lloyd Hackett the Executor of my estate and wish him to see that the intentions of this my last will is carried fully into effect~ Given under my hand
this 11th day of Feby, 1868.
