Michael Weisel, Will - Michael Weisel (Bucks County, Pennsylvania).

In the name of God Amen. I, Michael Weissel of Tenicum in the County of

Bucks and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania being in a very weak state of body,

but of sound mind, memory and understanding, for which I thank God, and

considering that all flesh must die, have thought fit to establish this my

last will and testament in manner following, that is, I commend my soul to

God who gave it, and I desire my body to be buried in a Christian like manner

at the discretion of my executors herein named -- and as touching my worldly

estate wherewith this pleased God to bless me, my will is, that after payment

of my funeral charges and just debts, my dear and loving wife Mary Weissel

shall take the case of drawers that stand in the room where I now lay, one

bed, four chairs which she shall chose, and such other of my household goods

as she shall choose, to the amount of twenty dollars; likewise she shall take

any cow she please out of my flock and two sheep, and after she has taken

these things out, she shall have one third part of my movable estate and the

yearly income or interest of five hundred pounds during her natural life,

and at her decease it shall be divided as the other part of my estate,

Catherine's bed and such other articles about the house as have been

generally called hers, she is to keep and after the above mentioned articles

are taken, my will is that as soon as my executors shall think it suitable

and convenient, after my decease, that they shall sell all my estate both

personal and real, and make a fair and equal division of the amount or

proceeds thereof among all my children namely Elizabeth Smith, Magdalena

Busy, Eve Shwartz, Michael Weissel, Daniel Weissel, Susanna Shwartz,

Catherine Weissel, Tobias Weissel, and Samuel Weissel, each and every one of

them to have share and share alike -- and lastly I do make and ordain my

sons-in-law Jacob Busy of Tenicum and Nicholas Shwartz of Plumstead executors

of this my last will and testament, revoking , disannulling and disallowing

and making void all other or former will and testament constituting ordaining

and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament. In

witness whereof I do hereunto set my hand and seal the twenty second day of

April in the year of our Lord one thousand and eight hundred and eighteen.

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/6508/LOWTINI.HTM Lower Tinicum Church, Tinicum Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania LOWER TINICUM CHURCH: Copied by B. F. Fackenthal, Jr. Riegelsville, Pa. The original church stood on the hill near the abandoned cemetery. It was built of logs, probably in 1747, the "Brick" church, the third structure at that place erected by the Lutheran and Reformed congregations, was destroyed by fire. The denominations then separated, the Lutherans building a new church and the Reformed congregation rebuilding and occupying the Brick Church. The present (1923) date stone as "Lower Tinicum Reformed Church-rebuilt A. D. 1908."
