In the name of God Amen, I, Zealy Williams of Bullitt County 
and State of Kentucky mindful of my mortality do now while 
composed and of sound mind make this my last will and 
testament.  And first it is my will that at my decease of 
the property whereof providence has blessed me my burial 
expenses, all my just debts if any, and every legal claim 
against one shall be paid.  After these claims are satisfied 
I will that my wife, Patience shall of the beds in my house 
have her choice of bed with bedding and bedstead.  Further, 
I will and bequeath to my wife Patience the sum of $3.500 
my money to be first paid her our of my estate.  This sum 
I will to my wife Patience instead of her dower right 
according to law in my estate because I think it best for 
her and she prefers this sum of money to her dower-in land.  
The above named articles and sum of three thousand five 
hundred dollars being paid to my wife Patience it is my 
will that the residue of my estate consisting in lands, 
cash notes, and personal property be equally divided among 
my living children under the following condition, Namely, 
and first I will that portion or amount of my estate 
coming to my daughter Rachel Stansberry, wife of Zachariah 
Stansberry be placed in the hands of a trustee for her benefit.  
The proceeds of the property to be given to her according 
to her need of them and at her death the principal thus 
held in trust-by trustee legally authorized shall be equally 
divided among her living children.  as trustee for my daughter 
Stansberry for her proportional part of my estate I hereby 
appoint Stephen L. Lloyd.  Also, I hereby appoint ------W. 
Lloyd trustee for my daughter Paulina, Wife of John Gravens, 
Her part of my estate to be held by trustee the proceeds 
of which to be paid over to my daughter Paulina Gravens 
for her use and benefit and at her death the principal to 
be equally divided among her living children.
 
Also it is my will that should my daughters Rachel Stansberry 
and Paulina Gravens at their death have no living children or 
either of them, then the property thus willed to her who is 
without living children at her death, is to be equally divided 
among my other children.  Also I will that my heirs towit: 
Malvinia Tyler, wife of Henry Tyler, the trustee of my daughter 
Rachel, wife of Zechariah Stansberry, the trustee of my daughter 
Paulina, wife of John Gravens, my son Wesley Z. Williams and my 
daughter Agnes E., wife of James A. 
Littlejohn shall pay to each of my grandchildren Charlotte Ann 
Williams and Laura R. Williams one hundred dollars, I say to 
each when they are twenty years of age.  If one dies then the 
other receives the Two Hundred dollars.  
If both died before they attain to twenty one years of age, 
then the money remains to my children.  I appoint no one executor 
to the will.  I desire no administration upon my estate.  I 
hope my children in connections with the two trustees herein 
named will in a peaceable and satisfactory manner divide my 
property amongst themselves.  They are hereby empowered to 
sell buy and make all necessary titles to lands, etc.  Some 
of my children have received more money from me than others 
for which I hold notes.  These notes are to be paid and are 
to be recognized to much of their equal part of my estate.  
I repeat that I wish my property to be equally divided among 
my children, after my wife Patience has received what is 
hereby will to her.  I repeat that should the two grandchildren 
of Morris Williams decd, my son, reach the age of twenty one 
they are each to receive one hundred dollars as noted above.  
I here state that I appoint the above named trustees from 
no unkind feeling to anyone but from a firm belief that 
it so to do.
