Bullitt Co. Will Book 1 p. 200

In the name of God, amen.  I David HALL of the County of Bullitt and 
Commonwealth of Kentucky being in a debilitated state of health but in my 
right senses have a desire and do disspossess of all my property which I am 
possessed of in the following manner ToWit:

the bed on which I am now lying also the house and orchard and the small 
piece of ground that I have heretofore cultivated about the house and to be 
left with her to tables  (?) what of the household furniture that she may 
deem new if any for her own use.  Wherewith the field which I call my field 
during her life and at her death to fall into the estate to be equally 
divided among my four after named daughters, the land excepted.

2nd:  I give and bequeath unto my two sons William and Asa HALL all the land

separates the fields of my son William and the field of my son Asa then with 
said fence (?) in a direct lin to my spring run then down said run to 
McCULLOCK’s Run, My said son William to have the maychen (which I think must 
mean mansion?) whereon he now lives.  My son Asa to have the Maychen wheron 
he now lives.

property to any amount whatever I wish it to be equally divided between my 
four above mentioned daughters
