Notes:
Note: Samuel died in 1847, leaving his wife Lavinia with 7 children. She lived on the farm with her husband which was called Mt. Pleasant. Mt Pleasant was land inherited by Samuel from his father Philip. This land could very well be the same land that Catherine Hess family owned. Catherine's mother was Rebecca Margarete (Peggy) Orndorff. Peggy's fathers estate was called Mt Pleasant, and it could very well be part of that estate passed down through the generations. Lavinia died in 1855, Jeremiah Phillip was 26, Jacob Christian 21, Catherine Amelia 20, Ann Rosena 17, William Henry 13, Franklin Samuel 11, and Laura Lavinia 8. Lavinia in her will asks that Jacob be the guardian of the younger children, and that he go upon the farm and till it, to apprpriate $800.00 for the building of a new barn. She also stated that the two servants Mary and Isabella remain in the family and serve the rest of their time. Also, that Ann Rosena can have the exclusive use of either one of the servants and that she can take the one she chooses. Lavina also states that when Laura Lavinia becomes of age all the property is to be divided at their own discretion, share and share alike
