    From pp 5-6:
    "Anthony's will, written in German script, on Feb 1, 1745 and
    recorded in Trenton, NJ has been translated and shows the members of
    Anthony's family. It was translated into English by Christian
    Grassold who testified as to its correctness on Mar 2, 1746 at
    Philadelphia, Pa. before recorder William Allgan. The translated Will
    is as follows:

    1745, Feb 19. DIERDORFF, Anthony, will of.
    Whereas our children are all begat of one father and
    mother, they shall have an equal share in the
    division. Land sowed by my children upon the old
    place. Wife to live on the land where the testator
    there dwelt by his son, Christian, as long as she
    pleases. Son, Christian bought the land with the
    testator, son Christian and daughter Christine.
    Witnesses: Hans Peter Jager, Wilhelms Wertz and
    Johannas Peter Lausshart.

    Yet to notice that the division in money shall be as at
    first above, paid from the eldest to the youngest in
    order till they have it; now we children have all
    agreed and witness this with our own hands as
    follows: Hinrich DIRDORFF, Peter DIRDORFF,
    Bernardes ACHEN BACH, Johannes DIRDORFF,
    Anthony DIRDORFF, William ECKER and
    Christina DIRDORFF.

    "This will was proved Mar 15 1746-47, Hunterdon Co., NJ, Lib. 5, p.
    321."
    "It should be noted that Bernardes ACHEN BACH signed for his wife
    Margaret Catherine DIRDORFF, and William ECKER signed for his wife
    Anna. Apparently the son Christian (born 1721 at Germantown, Pa) did
    not live until the death of his father, since he is not mentioned in
    the will."
