WILL OF
CHRISTIAN WINEMAN
Whereas I Christian Wineman of the County of Belmont and State of Ohio
weak in body but of sound and disposing mind and memory and understanding
considering the certainty of death and uncertainty of the time thereof and
being desirous to settle my worldly affairs and thereby be better prepared
to leave this world when it shall please God to call me hence do therefore
make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form
following that is to say. First and principally I commit my soul into the
hands of almighty God and my body to the earth to be decently buried at the
discretion of my Executrix herin after named. And there as reflects my
worldly affairs
my will is that first and foremost my funeral expenses and all my just debts
be paid by my Executrix and then the residue of my estate both real and
personal I will and bequeath to my wife Area Wineman during her widowhood.
After my wife's demise or provided she should marry again then and in that
case my will is that after her dower or thrids are set off that the residue
of my estate both real and personal be sold subject to my wife's dower and
division made of the proceeds thereof as follows: My children namely Joseph
and George Wineman, Margaret Boyed, Ann Font, Sarah Christy, Fanny Miers,
Mary Duhammel, Christian, Eber, Susanna, William and John Wineman to
be equal shares in same with the following exceptions. Joseph and George
Wineman to have sixty dollars less than the others above named as they have
had each of them a horse. My other two children namely Elijah and Adam I
will one dollar each to be paid when division is made by my Executrix but no
division to be made until my youngest child comes of age provided my wife
continues to be my widow that long and lastly I do hereby appoint and
constitute my wife Area Wineman to be my Executrix to my last will and
testament revoking and annulling all former wills by me made heretofore
satisfying and confirming this and none other to be my last will and
testament. In testimony whereof I Christian Wineman have this my last will
set my hand and seal this 25th of April 1843.
Christian Wineman
Note:
Elijah and Adam were effectively cut out of the inheritance by willing them
one dollar each and they were to get that only after everything was sold and
everybody else got their. There must have been some kind of family tiff.
This could well be why there is no mention of Christian Sr. in the oral
family tradition.
