Due to a court house fire only portions of this will are available and the names of all the heirs do not appear in the remaining portions of the document. Various transcribers have copied the data in different ways, but my translation is based on viewing the copy currently in the court house, land deeds listing all the heirs when land ownership was resolved (Scott County, KY Deed Book Q, pp. 102-104, Oct. 22, 1840), early church records and Martha Lemon's pension request in which she names all her children.

Deed Book Q, p. 103 shows the sale to Vance Lemon by the people listed below. This 120 acre tract of land "lying in Scott County Kentucky on Main Eagle, Being the farm owned by John Lemon decd." was sold to Vance, the youngest son, by the remaining portion of John's heirs who owned partial rights to it. The sale price was $340.00 and the document lists:
George Lemon
Rachel Lemon - George's wife
James McCabe
Mary McCabe - James' wife
Joel Mulberry
Ann Mulberry - Joel's wife
William Mulberry
Jane Mulberry - William's wife
Martha Barnet
Martha Lemon

From an interview with Capt. Wilson, 1850 era - Scott County, KY "When Sam Spence was killed, there was an eclipse of the moon that evening. Old Uncle Wm Wilson and wife were in Georgetown and were coming home, and noticed the eclipse. I also noticed it.

"Andrew and John the only sons of Sam'l Spence – both married daughters of old Robert Lemon, and moved to MO. Lemon moved there.

"Don't know and didn't know any other Spence than Sam Spence."
