398. I, Temple S. Perrin of Harrison Count and State of Kentucky, being of sound mind and perfect memory do make and publish this my last will and testament. First, I will that of my real, personal and mixed property, at the discretion of my executors, hereinafter named, all my just debts be paid for which purpose full power is given to my said executrix to sell any of my property for that purpose, except my slaves. Secondly, I will that after the payment of my debts, my slaves (Bob and Dick) shall belong to my wife, Laurette W. Perrin, absolutely, and my slaves (Ann and Isaac) during her widowhood, and at her death or marriage, Ann shall go to my sister (Sophia Perrin) and Isaac to my sister (Jane Perrin) both absolutely. And whereas I hold a bond on Wm. Henry Henderson for the conveyance of thirty acres of land. I will the same to my said wife, Lauretta, and if I should obtain a deed for said land before my death then I will the land to its appurtenances to my said wife, and whereas I have four notes on Nicholas D. Coleman amounting at this time to two thousand and fifty dollars secured by a mortgage on the farm I lately sold to said Coleman. And whereas I also have three notes on Martin Eads amounting to three hundred and ten dollars. And whereas I also have a judgment in the Harrison Circuit Court against Fanny Henderson for two hundred and odd dollars. I will all the above notes and judgment and all the benefits accruing therefrom or from said mortgage together with all my personal property of kind whatsoever my said wife, Lauretta W. Perrin forever; appointing my said wife Lauretta W. Perrin my sole executrix, willing that she shall not be required to give security for her executrixship nor be compelled to make any sale of property but for payment of debts, which sale she may make publicly or privately at her option. Should I have a child born before my death and the child should die or be still born, it is my will that such birth shall not invalidate this will, but should I have a child or children alive at the time of my death or born alive thereafter who shall continue to live, it is then my will that my wife have one third part of my property of all species during her life and my child or children the remainder, equally divided between them if there be more than one. Willing that they remain with their mother until she marry and then Grandfather or Grandmother Perrin, if they are living, if not with their guardian, such as the proper court shall appoint or they may choose when of proper age and that during my said wife's widowhood and my children's minority that she keep all my property as well then as hers and support herself and them out of the joint fund. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 9th day of February 1829.
