I, Clement Hearne of the County of Bourbon and state of Kentucky do hereby make and publish this codicil to be added to my last will and testament in manner following, to wit: I will that my negroes be appraised and divided in six equal parcels or near as conveniently can be done and which negroes or slaves I give and bequeath as follows. viz:

One sixth part to my son William Hearne. One sixth part to my son Burton Hearne. One sixth part to my son Joseph Hearne. One sixth part to the heirs of my son Minos Hearne. One sixth part to the heirs of my son Cannon Hearne and one sixth part less two hundred and thirty dollars to the children of my daughter Maria Ward: The said children being Naomi, Sarah and Evaline Ward. The deduction I make on account of having given to my daughter Maria Ward a negro girl at the time of her marriage, worth about two hundred and thirty dollars.

And lastly I will and desire that this my present codicil be annexed and made a part of my last will and testament.

In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my hand and seal this 16th day of December in the year of our Lord 1000 eight hundred and forty eight.

Clement Hearne and wife were both buried at the family Burying ground and in fall of 1888 were removed to cemetery at Lexington, Ky.

Sally, daughter of Clement and Keziah Hearne, born in Delaware, Apr. 13, 1790, was just eight years of age when her father and his family removed from there to Kentucky. January 29, 1817, she married Joseph Wasson, at the time a merchant and soldier in the war of 1812, a lifelong friend and associate of Benjamin Gratz of Lexington, Ky., who was also a native of Philadelphia.
