In the name of God Amen, I Frederick
Sheets of Unity Township, Columbiana
County and State of Ohio being weak in body of sound mind
and memory think proper to make my last will and Testament in manner and form
following, to wit,
First it is my will that all my Just
Debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon as convenient after my decease -
Item - I will and bequeath to my son Jacob the set of Smith tools which I
have in possession
- Item - It is my will that the remainder of my property be equally divided
among all my children, to wit John Jacob Barbara William Christian Abraham Margaret Samuel
& Frederick with this provision that whereas William left me previous to
his becoming of a for the purpose of learning a trade, I desire that it be
considered that he has received on that account one hundred Dollars of his
share and as Jacob and John have made improvements on their part of my land
which they occupy they are to receive or be allowed for the improvements
previous exclusion of their shares, and it is my will that the said Jacob
and John have each one hundred acres of land off the Quarter section of land
which they respectively occupy, to betaken off that side of the Quarter that is
best adapted to include the improvement as they are to have the improved part -
and after allowing each of them for his improvement if it should appear on a
valuation that the one hundred acres as above specifies except his share he is
to pay to the others a sum which will reduce it to his equal share and should
it fall short he is to receive from the balance of my estate a sum which will
make it equal. It
is further to be understood that Jacob & John have each of them received
a horse worth fifty Dollars which is to be considered as so much of their share - And as Mary and Barbara have
received household furniture to the values of thirty Dollars each that is to be
considered as so much of their share - Lastly I do hereby appoint constitute
and appoint my son Jacob Sheets and my friend Peter Eyster Esq my Executors to this my last
will and testament hereby revoke and forever disannulling all former wills by
me made and confirming this my last will and Testament. In Witness whereof I
have hereunto set my hand and seal this 14th November 1817.
