Will Transcript

Emrick, Johan Michael
Tulpehokin, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
proved: July 31, 1744. G.134.
Wife: Elizabeth.
Children: Four (names not given). Grandchild: Catherine Witmer.
Exec: Elizabeth Emrick, Michael Vith and Hermanus Walbourn.
Witnesses: Michael Sheffer, Johannes Forer and Philip Meurer.
In the name of God, Amen. Wherease I am yet in good health and perfect understanding. Considering I am a mortal man will therefore put my house in order as it shall be after I am dead.
First I recommend my soul to my God and Maker and my body to the earth to a happy resurrection.
My will is that my wife Elizabeth Emerich and Michael Rith with Herman Walborn shall be my Executors to execute what is herein written.
The same power I have had over what was mine the same power I give to my wife Elizabeth to do with as I have done as long as she continues unmarried. But if she marries again she shall have her third part and no division shall be made till my youngest child is of age and then shall my wife have her third part if she continues a widow. And I will that all my children shall have equal share except my deceased daughter's child Catrina Leitner, I give her ten pounds because they took the child to them. If one of the children should be disobedient to the mother against the law of nature and the country, then the mother shall have the power to take that child?s share and divide it among the rest. And my youngest son shall take possession of the plantation if he is able to pay the rest of the children and the mother their share and if the mother should like it to live with the son that has the plantation then she shall take her seat in the house and my two youngest sons shall have four pounds each more than the rest because the eldest had their assistance in improving their plantations. This is my last will and testament which I have signed and with my seal do certify.
(Signed) Johann Michael Emerich
