Emigrated on the Patience, which departed Rotterdam 4 May 1750, made a stop at Cowes on the Isle of Wight, and arrived on Philadelphia 11 August 1750. More on that arrival here.
Will of Frederick Houck
West Chester, Pennsylvania
I do order that my beloved wife Sarah Houck, upon my death, shall receive one of the beds in the house. Also the following:
One cow of her choice
Two hives of bees
One large hog
One table and two chairs
Such kitchen furniture as she may choose and have need for.
All the rest of my personal Estate, which does not belong to my beloved daughter, be sold to defray my debt.
To my daughter Catherine Houck, all my place in Coventry Twp where we now live, with all the appurtenances thereunto, which includes 47 acres. My daughter Catherine is to pay 175 Pounds for the property, and the Executers shall make and Execute a good deed.
I do order that my beloved wife Sarah Houck is to live on the land of my daughter Catherine Houck, and have equal shares of the income during her natural life. After her death, it shall be given to my daughter Catherine Houck.
I do order in my WILL that my daughter Elizabeth, (married to John Miller), and my Grandson, Thomas Watts, each one of them shall have out of the money my daughter Catherine Houck has to pay for the property, 10 pounds each. This money shall not be paid till one year after my wife Sarah Houck has died.
I do order that my son Frederick Houck and my daughter Mary, who was married to William Watts, each and every one shall receive of my Executors the sum of Seventy Shillings which shall be deemed their full share of my Estate.
I do order that any money from the sale of my personal and real estate I allowed my daughter Catherine Houck for the care of my wife Sarah Houck.
I do order that the Bond which I had given to my daughter Catherine Houck in the amount of 110 pounds shall be considered a full satisfaction for her trouble during the time stayed with me over her age and for some Honey she delivered to me. Lastly I do nominate and constitute and appoint my beloved friends, Henry Christman & John Titlow, to be my Executors to this last Will & Testament on the 6th day of December, 1794.
(Will filed March 20, 1795. Chester Co., Wills #4431)
(Elizabeth probably died between the making of her Father's will in 1794 and the settlement of the estate in February 1798 as no payments are recorded as being paid to her, but a payment was made to John Miller. Couple probably childless. Mary's husband William Watts was deceased at time of her Father's death.)
Notes about Georg Friedrich Haug / Frederick Hauck attached to several ancestry.com trees. Caveat emptor:
Georg Friedrich Haug's birth record was not listed in the records of Beutelsbach. Since his father was from Stetten, Georg Friedrich was most likely born in Stetten. (Note: Beutelsbach and Stetten are adjacent to each other, a short distance east of Stuttgart, Germany.)
*********************************
FHL Film No. 1184738: He attended school and knows how to write and read. He worked for 4 years in Stetten, then he went to Stuttgart and worked for two years. He went back home (Beutelsbach) for a while and came back (to Stuttgart) and worked for 7 years. He left with his wife and children on 4 May 1750 to "Pensylvanicn".
