Knock, the farm upon which I now live, lying south of the Sugar Creek Road and west of the turnpike in Jessamine County containing two hundred and ten acres, be the same more or less, also four of my choicest slaves and as much of my stock and farming utensils as she may wish to retain after my death, also all my household and kitchen furniture, the above tract of land, slaves and other property willed to my said wife, Elizabeth. She is to retain the same as long as she lives, provided she remains my widow, but if she should marry after my death, then all of said property is to revert to my children as hereafter directed."
