George Jump - Page 356
Grant County Kentucky August 21, 1842. It is well understood that I, George Jump, have been very ailing and infirm for a considerable time and probably never may be restored to good health again, I therefore take it into consideration in my sound mind to devise grant and convey all my right and title of my land including the farm I now live on on Stephensons Creek in the county and state aforesaid, I say for the most friendly services I have received from my brother Hiram Jump I do grant and convey all my right and title to the above named tract of land and farm for him and his heirs if any to hold forever, also to ask demand and receive the legacy coming from my father's estate as his own if I should not live to enjoy it myself.

I say again in the name of Almighty God this conveyance is to stand good and be valued in law as my decree in life whereunto I have set my hand and seal in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-two. N. B. the true understanding is that I am to have the benefit of my farm during my life time then to descend as above directed. George (X) Jump. Attest: John (X) Gray, N. H. Matthews, John W. Holiday.

This last will and testament of George Jump, deceased, was produced in court and proven by the oath of John Gray and N. H. Matthews, whereupon the same was received and ordered to be recorded which is accordingly done. Att: Wm. Smith, Clerk, J. E. Records, DC.
