  		Will for Jacob Bauer who died February 8, 1887 at 11:15 in the afternoon. In the name of God, Amen. I, Jakob Bauer, of Strasburg Township, Lancaster // County, state Pennsylvania, already advanced in age and in a weakly bodily condition, but // still sound in my mind, intellect, and memory, so thanks to God, // that I still have the energy in my body and mind, to write down this last will and te- // stament and to arrange it. So I command and arrange that all my domestic and real // estate, which is recorded in my name, after my passing, as long as she keeps my // [family] name, goes to my dear wife, Elisabeth Catharina Bauer, and she receives // everything, and stays in the house as long as she lives. No property can be // sold as long as she lives, but after her passing it can be … [divided?] // and my son Karl should receive it, if he wants it, and if not, // then is should be sold through my executor. In that case I order // that my son Karl and my daughter Susanna, after all my lia- // bilities are taken care of, each first receive 300 Dollars, and the rest // should go in equal parts to Karl Bauer, Susanna // Bauer, Catharina married Gollatz, Barbara married Fichtner, Heinrich // Erhart, and Georg Erhart. // To this my last will and testament I order and commission // my friend Heinrich Sommer as an executor, and authorize him, // to fulfill everything according to my wishes. To this last will and testament I // sign with my hand and seal it on 20st December 1886. // Mark: Jacob Bauer [seal] John Peterman // Heinrich Sommer // Lancaster County SS // Be it remembered that Jacob Bauer, late of Strasburg who died did previous to his death make his last Will and Testament duly sworn on Feb 16 1887, wherein he appointed Henry Sommer Executor, and whereas said Executor renounced his right to take out letters. And now Feb 23 1887 Letters of Admin were granted to Elizabeth C Bauer and Charles Bauer they having given bond with two sufficient services. They being duly affirmed will and truly administer the goods and chattels, rights and credits which were of the testator according to law, and also that they will diligently and faithfully regard, and will and truly comply with the provisions of the laws relating to collateral inheritance.

The 1900 census lists Philip immigrating to the United States in 1853 and naturalized. He was buried in Manheim Cemetery in Lititz in 1909. See headstone: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=stoll&GSfn=philip&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=40&GScnty=2276&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=154151741&df=all& ------------------------------------------------------------- LancasterHistory.org found: 1) Jacob Bower/Bowers appears on tax records from 1861 to 1876. 2) Jacob acquires one acre of land in 1868 and owns that land until at least 1876 (Lancaster County Deed Book G, Volume 9, page 494.). 3) Jacob purchased the land from Adam Stoll (the man whom Jacob and Peter were living with in the 1860 census). 4) It appears that Jacob sold his land to B. Hess (probably Benjamin Hess) in 1865. 5) Jacob appears in Strasburg Township tax lists in 1875 until 1887, the year he died. 6) Jacob owned 23 acres in Strasburg Township and is listed as a farmer (unable to locate deed). ************** It appears that Jacob Bauer arrived to the United States in or after 1854 from this emigration record from Wuerttemberg, Germany: District: Kuenzelsau Name: Bauer, Christian Birth Date: 30 Oct 1821 Birth Place: Ingelfingen (In Wuerttemberg) Application Date: Jul 1854 Destination: North America Number: 835953 http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gss=angs-c&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=christian+jacob&gsfn_x=0&gsln=bower&gsln_x=0&msbdy=1821&msbpn__ftp=Wurttemberg%2c+Germany&msbpn=30328&msbpn_PInfo=5-|0|1652381|0|3253|0|30328|0|0|0|0|&_83004003-n_xcl=f&cp=0&MSAV=1&uidh=m71&pcat=40&h=49504&recoff=5+6+7+8+9+10&db=wuet&indiv=1&ml_rpos=1 Jacob next appears in Conestoga Township living with the Adan Stoll Family with apparently Jacob's younger brother Peter. Conestoga is 9.6 miles East from St. Michael's Lutheran Church where the Jacob, Catharine and Susan are buried. Notes per JRA 10/7/2015 This Peter is from Bavaria which is the kingdom east of Württemberg. Like Jacob, this Peter also names his first son Charles in 1857. However, the birth is in Philadelphia,72 miles east of Conestoga. http://person.ancestry.com/tree/83284501/person/32488896938/facts http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=bauer&GSfn=peter&GSby=1823&GSbyrel=in&GSdyrel=all&GSob=n&GRid=120067639&df=all& 1860 Census http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1860usfedcenancestry&h=4649529&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&rhSource=6742 1880 Census http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gss=angs-g&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=peter&gsfn_x=0&gsln=bauer&gsln_x=1&mswpn__ftp=Pennsylvania%2c+USA&mswpn=41&mswpn_PInfo=5-|0|1652393|0|2|3244|41|0|0|0|0|&MSAV=1&msbdy=1823&mssng0=mary+ann&mssns0=snyder&_83004003-n_xcl=f&cp=0&catbucket=rstp&uidh=m71&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=648013&db=1880usfedcen&indiv=1&ml_rpos=2 Adam Stoll, the head of household that Jacob and Peter are living with in 1860 arrived to New York in 1853 (Stall) aboard the ship Constitution. His wife and children travel from Le Havre, France to New York on the ship Vanclusse in 1856. Adam's wife Magaret and children are listed as from Württemberg just like Jacob.
