Shortly after decease of Henry Moyer, the widow bought 100 acres from Philip Bowser for $750. A bond of Thomas Kerr (Korr?) for 480 pounds belongs to the sisters and brothers of the late Henry Moyer and not to his heirs. Said Henry Moyer obtained the bond in consequence of having been Administrator of his father's estate. Money is to be left in the hands of said Thomas Kerr during life of said Henry Moyer's mother who pays the old woman the interest annually for her support, after her decease the money to be divided among the children. Jacob Bowman married one of the heirs. Christian Moyer took clothing at appraisement value.
