Will Of George A Moye -  - Simpson County, KY

            I Geo A Moye, of Simpson County, KY, being of sound mind and disposing memory do make, ordain and establish this my last will and testament.

            1st I will that all of my debts and burial expenses be paid out of any money, notes or other personal property being left by me.             2nd If there shall be anything left of the money, notes or other personal property, after the payment of my debts and burial expenses, I will and bequeath it to my wife Sarah J Moye, in trust for the use and benefit of herself and my children by her, and I authorize and request her to use it for her own benefit and for the benefit of said children as she May deem best for the interest of them all.

            3rd I will and devise to my said wife during her natural life the home tract of land on which we now reside, generally known as the Daniel Smith land, containing about 110 acres, bounded on the north by the lands of Clinton Smith, on the east by the Henderson land, on the south by the Bradley and Lane land and on the west by the lands of J S Lane, giving her the right to control and manage said tract of land, during her natural life and to have and use and enjoy the rents and profits thereof.

            4th I will that my sister-in-law, Harriet E Smith, have the right to live no the home place above mentioned with my family just as she has been living heretofore, as long as she remains single or unmarried.

            5th I will and devise the home tract of land above mentioned, at the death of my said wife, to my second set of children, being the children on my present wife, to be equally divided among them.

            6th I will and devise what is known as the Goodnight land to my first set of children, being the children of my first wife, said land bounded on the north by the lands of Hack Lane and Fount Young, on the east by the lands of James Lewis and Chas Doss, and on the south by the lands of Gus Berry and on the west by the lands of Sam Hunt and Sally Turner, containing about 107 acres.

            7th If any of my children should die before I do, leaving issue or children, then the interest of the one so dying is to go and pass to his or her children or issue, but if any one of my children shall die either before or after I do, without leaving children or issue, then the interest of the one so dying is to go and pass to his full brothers and sisters or their children, that is to the set to which he or she may have belonged, my object being to keep the two tracts separate in their ownership, the owners of one tract and their offspring to have no interest in the other tract.  The two tracts of land above mentioned are located in Simpson County, KY, east of Drakes Creek and on the Franklin and Scottsville Road.

            8th I nominate and appoint my wife to be my executrix, to execute this will, and I request that she be not required to give any bond or security as such.

            In Testimony whereof witness my signature on this the 3rd day of Aug, 1892
