    Correct will date is 1809 not 1810

    1. Executors are wife Elizabeth and son John ....

    2. From this place where I live shall nothing be sold so shall my wife have the Right on the Place where I live until the youngest child is 14 years old ...........

    The rest of the will is very interesting. It provides several items and services for his wife Elizabeth after the youngest child turns fourteen.

    Signed in Greenwich Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

    By 1914 when this book was published, this information was about 100 years old. I'm discovering that it seems to contain some errors in early US Wisser history (gaw 3/1/2014)
    I'm discovering that John Wisser was the father of John,Jonathan, Daniel (born 1803), Elizabeth, married to George Zettelmore (not Reinhard), Rebecca who married Jonathan Reinhard, Jacob, and a daughter named Saloma who married Jacob Altenderfer.
