WILL OF JOSEPH NICKELL b.1750 d.1829 (Elizabeth Fowler, m.1776)
June 16, 1829 Filed in Montgomery County, Kentucky Will Book D, Page 80. Mt Sterling, KY
I, JOSEPH NICKELL, of the County of Montgomery and State of Kentucky, being in low and declining health but sound of mind and memory, and being of the opinion that I shall not remain here long; wishing to dispose of what worldly substance I have , Do Make and Ordain this my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all others, if any there be, making this final For all Intents and Purposes.
ITEM, the 1st--After paying all my just debts, I Give And Bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth Francis, and to my son James Nickell, all that I now have in my possession. That is, I wish everything to be sold on a credit of twelve months and after said sale - for Elizabeth Francis to have the equal half of all, in her full and free possession to do and dispose of as she may think proper; and the other half, my wish is that Jacob Stewart and William Barrow take in hand for him --- James, and act as his guardian to dispose of as they may think advisable for his benefit. My wish is that they would use the interest of the money to his education, and after his coming of proper age to put him to some good mechanical business that they may choose.
My reason for doing as I have with what I now have is because that I have given a full share of what I had a long time previous to this time, to the rest of my children. And My Daughter Betsy having been with me and for her kind attention to me I think this even will never make her equal to the others. And my little son James I have never given anything. So I think I have made as equal a division as I could.
I wish for the bond which Jacob Stewart holds on Joseph Nickell, my son, for the Deed of the land whereon I now live--that Jacob Stewart and William Barrow would attend to getting the title, and Eye it as above directed.
ITEM, the 2nd--My wish is that Jacob Stewart & William Barrow be my Executors.
