of Elizabeth Bolsinger The last
Will and Testament Of Elizabeth Bolsinger of German Township, Fayette
County, In the name of God, I Elizabeth Bolsinger, considering the
uncertainty of this mortal life, and being of sound mind and memory (blessed
be Almighty God for the same) do make and publish this my last will and
testament, in manner and form following (that is to say)
First I give and bequeath unto my son Jacob Bolsinger one brass
clock, one bureau, one arm chair, one split bottom chair, one cupboard and
its contents. Item, I give and
bequeath to my daughter Susanna Bolsinger one feather bed and all my
bedding, one milk cow, one falling leaf table, one copper or brass kettle,
one iron kettle, one dutch oven, one iron pot, one cradle, two chairs, one
big wheel, one small wheel, and one real and should I not have parted with
my horse creatures, I direct my executor to sell them, as soon as
convenient, after my decease, and the grain that I may leave not disposed
of, like wise to be sold, and my debts if any unsatisfied to be paid out of
the sale of my horse creatures, and grain, also my funeral expenses and all
charges touching the proving of or otherwise concerning this my will.
If there should any money remain in the hands of Executor, it is my
desire that it should be equally divided between my son Jacob Bolsinger and
my daughter Susanna Bolsinger, and if it should prove otherwise and not be a
sufficient sum raised to pay all debts and charges that may arise, it is my
will that my son Jacob Bolsinger and my daughter Susanna Bolsinger, should
pay up the deficiency in proportion to the value of the property they each
of them may receive on this my will, and I make and ordain my son Jacob
Bolsinger Executor of this my last will and testament In Witness whereof I
have here unto put my hand and seal the 10th day of October in the year of
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and forty one.
