In obedience to an order of the Spencer County Court appointing the undersigned 
Commissioners to allot and set apart to SARAH SCOTT her dower in the Land, 
Slaves and personal estate wherof JOHN SCOTT Dec’d Died seized of as follows... 
we met on the premises of JOHN SCOTT Dec’d upon the 29 Oct 1829 and proceeded 
to survey the land apart of which is hereby submited and the figures 1245 and 6 
represent the widows third of the Land including the mansion House wich is one 
third of the whole Tract .

JOHN SCOTT Dec’d possessed the following slaves

PEGGY worth $78.00
CATY worth $250.00
NED  worth $350.00

SHARPER worth $375
RACHAEL  worth $278.00
MADLONIA  worth $125.00
NELLY worth $125.00
WINNY and ZADOC worth  ----  (it looks like dashes - perhaps an elderly couple 
assigned no amount?)

We give MRS. SCOTT the widow SOLOMON and RACHAEL valued at $650 and she agrees 
to keep WINNY and ZACK the personal Estate was not divide Saving that for 
further Division as our thought the widow could purchase such things as she 
wanted and the administrator could pay to her one third of the money arising 
from the sale fo the personal estate after payment of the Debts against said 
estate of JOHN SCOTT  Deduced the remains one hundred and twenty of Land to the 
children of JOHN SCOTT and six negroes we think th children should contribute 
something to support the  Jacob ? named WINEY given from under our hands this 
12 Dec 1828.
