Jacob FOOLWYDEE - Estate - 12 Mar 1818
[MSA S512-1887; 1/36/2/47-1818; 3 folders]

Jacob KOONTZ and w/ Catherine, Anthony STARLIPPER and 
w/ Catherine, and Eve MILLER ..vs.. Jacob KEEFER/KEAVER Estate

Charity, previously the widow of Jacob FOOLWYDEE, was then 
married to Jacob KEAVER/KEAFER when she died.  Fulwyder left 
her a life estate; after her death, the property was to be 
divided with one half to Henry FULLWYDER's family and the 
other half to his wife's friends; ten pounds went to Evangelist 
Calvinist Church in Middle Town.  There was a great variety of 
interpretation of the term "wife's friends".  Her second husband 
tried to claim the property and injunctions were issued and 
countered.  Court action finally resolved the issue by dividing 
the property equally among the heirs of both Jacob FULWYDER and 
Charity KEAVER.
