I was caught by the one daughter's name in this will, Mary Hall and wondered
if anyone knew if this person might be connected to the Hall Family that was
perhaps near Embreeville? I am researching a Woodward family from Chester
County and have been stuck for quite sometime. I have gotten as far as
Lydia Hall b. 1852 near Embreeville to Ezra H. Hall b. 1821 who was married
to a Mary Jeffries. Lydia married Wm. Manning Woodward in 1873.
Does any of this ring a bell to someone?
Thanks

Jane and Sarah didn't even get love and kisses albeit their husbands
came out ok.

In 1764 John Minshall was assessed in Middletown with 240 acres and
buildings,128 acres of uncultivated land, 5 horses, 12 cattle, and 11 sheep
and his tax was Lb2-16-9.

By his will, dated 12-27-1783, proven May 27, 1784 provides for his wife
Sarah;
gives to dau.Jane Longstreth the money her husband owes me, about Lb200:
To dau.Sarah Starr all the money her husband owes me, about Lb200:
To dau.Mary Hall, Lb200 in gold or silver:To sons Thomas and Moses all the
lands in Middletown and all residue of estate, except that after wife's
decease
each daughter was to have Lb100.Sarah Minshall,in will dated 2-23-1799,
gave to Middletown Meeting Lb5 for the use of the poor.

It took me a moment...looking at that, but.....

As I read it....the daughters with ne'er do well husbands, who owed money
to their father, basically got......nothing. All they had was their debt
erased.

All of the other children...came out like little fat bandits. *S*
