IN THE NAME OF GOD, Amen. 1, Jacob Bauman of Upper Mahony Township, 
Northumberland County, in the State of Pennsylvania, am weak and sick, but still

my body to the earth, which I wish to have buried in a Christian manner.  And as 
regards my worldly possessions which God has been pleased to give me, I bequeath 
as follows: I give and grant unto my son Henry, the plantation upon which I now

young horses, one cow, one heifer that is with calf, the two calfs, one new 
chest, one bed and bedstead, he can take his choice; the rifle, two sheep, he

the same date, he shall pay forty dollars and after that, every year on the same

keep in my possession, as long as I live.  N.B. The use of the house and farming
