Will of John Ulrich Hertzel
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, Amen.
I John Ulrich Hertzel of Upper Salford Township in the county of Philadelphia in the
Province of Pennsylvania being very sick and weak but of Good understanding praised be
God for the same, do hereby make my last Will and testament as follows:
First it is my Will that after my decease my Heirs which I shall leave behind me
shall bury my Body in Christian like manner and my soul I recommend unto the Hands of my
Jesus.
Secondly, it is my Will that all my Funeral Expenses and Just debts shall be paid out
of my Estate or out of the Goods I shall have behind me, all of which shall be sold after
my decease.
Ande, Thirdly, it is my Will that my Wife Anna Margaret shall as soon as the money of
the Goods sold is come in, receive 100 Current Money for her support, and she shall not
have share with the children.
And, Fourthly, it is my Will that my children shall go in equal shares, the Girls as
much as the Sons.
And, Fifthly, it is my Will after my wife shall have receive her 100, which I have
given her for her support then the Children shall have each their Shares, the Younger
shall not wait longer than the Elder.
And, Sixthly, it is my Will that my daughter Ann Margaret shall have before hand 1
10 shillings Currency for Household Furniture which is yet wanting her and also a Cow.
For as much as the Law of our Country gives the Eldest Son Two Child's shares so I give
him for the one Child's share five shillings and for the rest he shall go in equal parts
with the other children.
And, Seventhly, it is my will that my son George, and my son Jacob shall be Executors
and shall punctually execute the above Articles. Dated the 24th day of January in the
Year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy One.
