Wills - Carroll County, MD, Barbara Lippy - Book 3, Page 169, November 3, 1862.

In the name of God Amen.

I Barbara Lippy of Carroll County, State of Maryland being old and in ill 
health, but of sound mind and memory, hereby revoking and making void all former 
wills made by me at any time heretofore made:  And first of all I commit my soul 
into the hands of God who gave it, and my body to the earth from whence it was 
taken; And as to such worldly goods or posessions [sic] as it hath pleased God 
to intrust me with, I dispose of them as follows:

And whereas all my earthly posessions [sic] consist of promissory notes, 
excepting some few articles hereinafter mentioned, from my son Peter Masonheimer 
due me bearing date April 1st 1862 and will come due as shall hereinafter 
mentioned,

First I give and bequeath to my daughter Anna Barbara Stitt wife of Alexander 
Stitt, now residing in Pittsburg, Pa., two promissory notes of one hundred 
dollars each on becoming due on the 1st of April 1865 and the other 1866.

And to my daughter Anna Mary Elizabeth Bish wife of Levi Bish I give and 
bequeath one note of one hundred dollars said note becoming due on the first of 
April 1869.

And to my son John Henry Masonheimer or his children if any, I give a note of 
two hundred dollars becoming due April 1st 1870, but should the party who is 
supposed to reside in Louisville, Kentucky not appear either in person or agency 
within one year after my decease the said note is then to fall into the hands of 
my son Peter Masonheimer for his own use and benefit.  

And to my son Daniel Masenheimer’s children I give and bequeath a note of two 
hundred dollars becoming due April 1st 1872 to be equally divided between all 
his children.

And to my son Joseph Lippy’s children I give and bequeath a note of two hundred 
dollars becoming due April 1st 1874.

And one note of one hundred dollars to my son in law Levi Bish and also two 
other notes of one hundred dollars each becoming due on the first of April 1867 
and 1868 oversigned by me to my daughter Anna Mary Elizabeth Bish wife of Levi 
Bish.

I order that the said notes be paid to the parties holding said notes by the 
party against whom said notes are held as soon as they become due.

And to my son Peter Masonheimer and my son in law Levi Bish I give and bequeath 
a note of one hundred dollars becoming due April 1st 1863, and also the interest 
of 1300 dollars for one year, but out of said amount they are to pay certain 
bills that I owe to Jesse Rissnider, John S. Murry, Samuel Gondorff, and Lewis 
Myers of Daniel, the balance to be equally divided between the two.  
And one note of sixty dollars whereon ten dollars are now paid, due on the 1st 
of October 1862, the balance of said note I give and bequeath to my daughter 
Anna Mary Elizabeth Bish wife of Levi Bish for paying my doctor bill and funeral 
expenses.

And to my daughter Susannah Bankert wife of Abraham Bankert I give and bequeath 
the sum of ten dollars, said amount to be paid by my daughter Anna Mary 
Elizabeth Bish wife of Levi Bish.

And further all my clothing, household and kitchen furniture I give and bequeath 
to my daughter Anna Mary Elizabeth Bish wife of Levi Bish.

And further I order that all the expenses that may lawfully arise from settling 
up my estate be paid by the foregoing parties each party to pay an equal share 
of the same.  

And lastly I do hereby make and ordain my son in law Levi Bish Executor of this 
my last will and testament.

In witness of this I Barbara Lippy the testator have set my hand and seal this 
fourteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and 
sixty two.
