In the name of God amen I Richd. Apperson of Franklin County do make and ordain this to be my last will and testament revoking all former wills. After my Debts and Funeral expenses are paid my will is that my Estate shall be divided in manner following: Whereas by my Marriage with Lucy Meaux widow and relick of William Meaux I became possessed of certain slaves which it is my intention to restore to her children or their representatives who are as follows, viz Richard H. Meaux, William Meaux, now decd... who left a Daughter who has since intermarried with -----, Sally Meaux wife of Nathaniel Crump, Francis Meaux who married ---- Harris who left an only son called William M. Harris and Lucy Meaux who married Granville Waddle or their legal heirs. And I also give to them the value of such slaves as I have disposed of as per account hereto annexed For which I appropriate fifty shares of Capitol Joint Stock of the State Bank of Kentucky having vested the amount of said accounts in Bank Stock being the amount of the negroes as sold my reason for now appropriating fifty shares is that Stock has lessened in value and I wish it considered as the full amount of the negroes that I have sold and the balance of my estate not to be bound to make up any farther depreciation in said Bank Stock which Stock I wish to be taken as part of my this my will. I therefore bequeath to the said Richard H. Meaux, Wm. Meaux, James Meaux, now deceased who left a Daughter who has since intermarried with ------, Sally Meaux wife of Nathl Crump, Francis Meaux who married ----- Harris who left an only son called Wm M. Harris and Lucy Meaux who married Granville Waddall and if either of them be dead to their legal representatives one sixth part of the above mentioned Bank Stock and one sixth part of the negroes now on hand which are to be sold as I shall hereafter direct. I direct that the negroes that are in my possession at my death be sold and not to be sold to any person residing out of the County Franklin. It is my further my will and desire that Nancy & her children be sold together as I do not wish them to be separated and further my will and desire is that the above recited legatees have an equal part of the recited Bank Stock and the amount of sales of the negroes that I have directed to be sold as the full proportion of my Estate and I do also nominate and appoint my friends Robert Wilkinson and Granville Waddall both of Christian County my Executors to this part of my will.
