LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of PHILIP HAUPT, 1832
Shamokin Township, Northumberland County




In the name of God, amen; I Philip Haupt of the township of Shamokin in the
county of Northumberland, and State of Pennsylvania, Yeoman, being weak in 
body but of sound mind, memory and understanding, and considering the 
uncertainty of this transitory life, do make and Publish this my last will
and testament, in manner and form following, to wit--

First, it is my will, and I do order, that all my just debts and funeral
expenses be duly paid and satisfied as soon as conveniently can be after my
decease.

Item, I give and bequeath my dear wife Ann Margaret Haupt, a reasonable 
maintenance, that is a sufficiency of all necessaries during her natural
life, if she shall so long remain my widow; but if she shall marry again, 
that day forward she shall receive no further support or maintenance from
my estate, neither shall she have any dower or share whatsoever of my estate,
and all the necessaries etc. for the maintenance of my said wife, shall be
paid for, by my executors herein after named, and of my estate.

Item, I give and bequeath unto my Daughter Mary Follmer, the sum of two
dollars, to be paid to her as soon as conveniently may be after my decease;
and further I give unto my said daughter's children the sum of three
hundred dollars to be paid to said Children as they come of the age of
twenty one years, with Interest, the Interest to be counted on fifty 
dollars yearly payments, after the said payments come due, the first of
the payments to be due one year after my decease, but if the said Mary
Follmer shall become a widow, she shall have fifty dollars a year, yearly
and every year, of the above mentioned three hundred dollars until the
whole is paid to her; if she shall so long live and remain the widow of 
her present husband John Follmer but if she should marry again, or death
should call her out of this world, then the said three hundred dollars,
the remainder thereof shall be equally divided among her children as 
aforesaid.

Item, I give and bequeath unto my son Samuel Haupt the sum of three hundred
dollars, to be paid to him or his legal representatives in fifty dollar yearly
payments, the first of said payments to come due one year after my decease.

Item, I give and bequeath unto my sons Henry Haupt and Joseph Haupt and to
their heirs and assigns forever, all my landed estate, they paying thereout
unto my executors herein after named, the sum of six hundred dollars, in
six equal yearly payments, the first payment to come due one year after 
my decease, And also providing for, and maintaining, thereout my two sons
Daniel and John; they the said Henry and Joseph getting as much work out
of them, the said Daniel and John as they reasonably can; Provided that
neither of my said sons Henry and Joseph, or their representatives shall
have power to sell said land or any part thereof so long as Daniel or
John (my aforesaid sons) shall live--otherwise than subject to the 
maintenance of my said son Daniel and John during their Natural lives;
and I do hereby empower and direct my executors herein after named, to
take notice of the usage that my said sons Daniel and John may recieve,
and not suffer them to be hard used or ill treated; and either of my
four Children, to wit. Mary Samuel, Henry and Joseph shall have
privilege of taking part of my personal property at the appraisement,
after the same has been appraised, under the agreement of the other three,
and the aprobation of my executors herein after named; my two sons Henry
and Joseph to be at all the expense of decent funerals for my sons Daniel
and John without making any charge for the same and in case my two sons
Henry and Joseph should disagree about my real estate, or decline taking
the same as herein bequeathed unto them; then and in that case it is my 
will that my Executors herein after named shall sell the same for the
best prices that may be gotten for the same; and secure the proceeds of
the sale thereof, on Interest, for the maintenance of my wife and two 
sons Daniel and John during their natural lives; and after the death or
marriage of my said wife, and after the death of my two sons Daniel and
John, the remainder of the proceeds of the sale of my real estate, shall
be equally divided between my two sons Henry and Joseph (after deducting
the Six Hundred dollars) their heirs, executors or administrators; and 
the said Six Hundred dollars herein before mentioned shall remain a lien
on my real estate until the same is paid, if said real estate is taken
by my two sons Henry and Joseph; as also the maintenance of my two sons

most advantageous.
