He basically left everything he owned to his wife…including the water from the pump.  Then he left half of his money to his children; except Adam and Mary they only got $1 each for reason that did not need to be inserted.  But then later on in the will he felt bad so he gave Mary a cow and let her have first pick of them.  

Needless to say I turned to my mom and asked her to leave me a cow in the will…she said no.  So now we joke about leaving $1 to each of the kids just to be funny…..

I mean the will was written in 1833 but you gotta admit…its pretty freakin cool!

The guy who wrote the will: Matthias Senior had a son Matthias Junior who had a daughter Sarah who married IF March who had a son named Matthias who then married Lilla and had George Senior who had George Junior who had my mommy who eventually had me :)
