older boys of my Negro Woman Nancy.

the Choice of my Cows, and also such of my Household and Kitchen Furniture as 
she may desire to retain during her life.
Item 2d. I give and bequeath to my Daughter Minerva my Negro Girl Isabella over 
and above an equal share of my Estate.  The unusual Devise to my said Daughter 
Minerva is owing to the fact that she is afficted [sic].  My said Daughter 
Minerva is to enjoy the property she may get from me during her life, and at 
her death, the same is to be equally divided between my other children, 
provided my sd Daughter Minerva dies without heirs of her body.

Durham, Two hundred Dollars each, to be used by my Executors in their Education 
and Support as they may think best.

piece of Timber Land in Mercer County near the Turn Pike Road, leading to 
Harrodsburg, be sold by my Executors on such Credit, as they may think best, 
and the proceeds of the Sale equally divided among my Children.  My Executors 
herein after named are hereby vested with full power to make the Sale aforesaid 
and to convey the same to the purchaser.
If only one of my Executors named herein shall act, then his Acts shall be as 
good and valid as if performed by both.
Item 5th.  The Balance of my Estate not herein specially devised, that is my 
Negroes, I direct to be equally divided between my Children, and if the same 
cannot be equally divided in Kind, then they are to be sold and the proceeds 
equally divided between my Children.
The names of my Children are William Tewmey, Margaret Brewer, Mary Hines, Eliza 
Tewmey (formerly Eliza Durham), John Tewmey, Jeremiah Tewmey, Minerva Tewmey 
and Darinda Debaun.
I nominate and appoint my friend Samuel McDowell and my son John Tewmey, my 
Executors.
