In the name of God amen. I Noel Waddell of the county of Warren and state of Kentucky, sensible in my mind that very shortly close my eyes upon all temporary things and consign my body to the dust and my soul to God who gave it and feeling an interest to dispose of all my property as may seem best in my own mind make this my last will and testament as follows:
First: After all my debts and demands are paid, I will to my affectionate wife, Ruth Waddell my tract of land on which I now live to have and to hold and enjoy as hers forever.
Secondly: I will all my stock consisting of horse, cattle and together with household and other furniture to have and to enjoy as hers to dispose of as hers as she may devise.
Thirdly: my notes and accounts the proceeds of which I also will to my wife as aforesaid as hers to use and enjoy forever.
Fourthly: I desire that my executor herein after named shall buy at a fair price from Mr. Robert Walters, a certain negro woman named Silva and payment to be made by a deduction from the amount due me by said Wats (Walters?) and the said negro woman to be set free and emancipated according to law.
Fifthly: I will to my wife my two negroes Jack and Fanny to hold and enjoy as slaves and when they shall arrive at the age of thirty five years to be freed and set at liberty and the offspring if any of said negro girl Fanny to serve my wife during her life time and at her death to be equally divided between my sister Nancy Walters and my half sister Patsy Akin. Also I wish divided between my two sisters named above all my reversionary interest in money which I have coming to me from the State of Virginia to be equally divided between them if ever collected.
Sixthly: I will and request that my executors shall in three years from the date payover to my sister Nancy Walters all the proceeds of the stock, crops, etc. raised on the farm the sum of fifty dollars as a token of my well wishes. And lastly I appoint my wife, Ruth Waddlill, Mr. Joseph Fielding, executors of this my last will and testament. Sworn under my hand and seal the 7 day of October 1832.
