Upon the petition of Michael Stall, eldest son of Henry, late of Franklin Co., 
dec'd, that his father died intestate, seized of 3 tracts of land lying in 
Belfast	Twp., that petitioner's father left 6 sons and 2 daughters & 1

Jacob; Susannah & Barbara, intermarried with John Hicks; & Henry Hockersmith, 
grandson and that petitioner is entitled to 2 tracts of 10 tracts owned and

Additional Comments:
Henry Stahl died intestate in Franklin County in 1790.  Letters of 
administration were given to his sons Jacob and Michael on 5 March 1790 (Estate 
Book A, page 167, Franklin County, Pennsylvania Recorder's Office).  Belfast 
township currently lies in Fulton county, but that township was part of Bedford 
county until 1850.  This petition states the names and relationships of all of 
Henry's children.
