      His will was written 20 March 1815, recorded in Union County, PA, 10 Jun 1816. The will was written in German, signed Kilin Dunck.
      It was transcribed before it was recorded. Heirs: Sons: Jacob, Peter, Johannes, George, and Daughters: Elisabeth, Rosina, Magdalena, Eva and Catharina.

      "In the Name of God Amen. I, Killian Dunckel, living in Buffalloe Township, Union County and State of Pennsylvania, have by me considered and agreed after I have becom to a high age by the grase of God, and as my life in a short time may end, and I like all other mortal people will have to leave this world, having also made this my testament and last will by good memory and full _____ designated and specified the same as following.

      Secondly, whatever my remainder of my estate at touching the same it is my will and testament that my sons, namely, Jacob, Peter, John (the German will says Johannes) and George Dunckel, each of them one hundred pounds current money first of all more as my Daughters shall have.
      Thirdly, it is my will that my Daughters, namely, Elisabeth, Rosina, Magdalena, Eva, and Catharine or any one of them or their bodily heirs shall as then with my four sons comin in equaly shares excepted what I have before given and bequeathed to my Sons, whatsoever my Sons or Daughters or their husbands in money already have received which to them regular is charged shall by my hereafter mentioned Executor each of them be charged on their shares.
      Fourthly, I appoint my beloved Son, Peter Dunckel, as my Executor as for my whole Estate, and in the remaining of this my last will and testament, I do allow my Executor no more but two hundred dollars for his pains and trouble as Executor, the losts which may arrise shall all out of my remaining Estate be paid.

      His son, Peter, was named Executor and in his record of accounts, he charged the estate $35.56 "for a debt due him by deceased for boarding in his lifetime to wit, from the 1st October 1815 to 4th June 1816." I believe from this his death date is 04 June 1816. Peter also paid out of the estate: "Also for food and drink furnished at the funeral: $10.00." Also "Cash paid Mrs. Rensler for making shroud, etc., for deceased: $1.00; Cash paid S. Snyder for copy of will in German: $.95."
