I, Adam Linn, of Trigg County and State of Kentucky, being in perfect mind and memory and knowing it is appointed for all men once to die, I do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament. First of all, I recommend my soul to God who gave it and my body to the dust to be buried at the discretion of my Executor, doubting not but I shall receive the same again at the Resurrection of the Mighty power of God and for such wealth it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life. I hereby dispose of my property in the following manner. After all my just debts are paid, it is my wish and pleasure that my wife, Sarah Linn, have the rest of my old plantation for her life. The balance of my property to be equally divided among my then living children, giving each of my grandchildren two dollars. I appoint Joseph Linn, my Executor of this my last will and testament, revoking all other will or wills by me made. In witness,whereof, I hereunto set my hand and seal this first day of February 1826. Witnesses Samuel Saxon John Craig, Jr. Ezekiel Vinson Adam Linn
