PDF Page 10: Record Page 164 July Term A.D. 1842 being produced sworn and Examined on behalf of the Plaintiff deposes and says, I was acquainted with Peter Wh etstone decd mentioned in the petition filed in this cause, He has been dead some five years. I was acquainted with his family. The paper here with exhibited marked A and attached to this deposition gives a correct statement of the heirs of the said Peter Whetstone. The names of his children were Jacob, Peter, Samuel, John, Daniel, Elizabeth, Catha rine, Susanna and Mary. The said Elizabeth is intermarried with Samuel Mentzer, the said Catharine was intermarried with Adam Musser. She is dead and left four children named Mary, Peter, Jacob and Eleanor. the said Mary was intermarried with Jacob Bash. She is dead and left eight children, named Catharine who is now intermarried with George Reed, John, Mary, Peter, Barbara, Jacob Susanna and Samuel. I acted as Adminstra tor of the said Peter Whetstone decd, and have made final settlement. Among the papers which fell into my hands as Administrator was the one hereto attached marked B which was represented to me by the widow of the decd as being a memorandum made out by Elias Chambers now decd at the ??? and request of the said Peter Whetstone in his life time for the purpose of showing the advancements he had made to sundry of Children. A few weeks after the death of the said Peter Whetstone the time the personal property of the Estate was appraised the Children being all present. (this was foregoing to the death of Catharine and Mary) I exhibited this memorandum and read the contents in the presence and hearing of the whole of them. They all assented to its correctness and admitted it to be good evidence the fol lowing advancements had been made by the said Peter Whetstone up to the 29 March 1833. To wit to the said Ma ry Bash $130.00. To the said Catharine Musser 133.00. To the said Jacob Whetstone 130.00. To the said Peter Whetstone (son) 140.00. To the said Daniel Whetstone 110.00. To the said Samuel Whetstone 32.85. It was generally understood in the neighborhood that the above named children to whom advancements were made with exception of Samuel had received a large part of what they got on land. In the distribution of the personal Es tate made by me, an equal division was made without reference to what any of them had received by way of advance ment. I have lived and still live about one mile from the farm of which Peter Whetstone died seized during the last fif teen years, and consider the said farm subject to the dower Estate of the said Mary Whetstone to be worth at the present time twelve hundred and fifty dollars. The said Susanna Whetstone received an equal dividend with the other heirs of the personal property of the Estate of Peter Whetstone decd, which was between fourteen and fifteen dollars. This was about three years ago she has not other property to my knowledge. The said Susanna had two illegitimate children, they both died two or three months ago. I am of the opinion from my knowledge of the situation of the property that if the interest of the said Sus anna be sold without partition there will necessarily be a great sacrifice. At the time of the appraisment of the personal property above referenced to all of the Children of the said Peter Whetstone decd whose names appear on exhibit marked B were men and women over twenty one years of age in the year 1830, ??? lands in the neighborhood of the farm of which Peter Whetstone decd seized (are worth their Entrance which was one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. John G. Strough John Charlton of Crawford County in the State of Ohio being produced sworn and examined on behalf of the Plaintiff deposes and says I have lived for the last 13 years on land adjoining the farm of which Peter Whetstone decd mentioned in the petition filed PDF Page 11: in the case decd ???. I was well acquainted with him and his whole family. The above statement contained in the deposi tion of John G. Strough in reference to the family connections of the said Peter Whetstone decd is correct. Sometime about the year 1832 I had a conversation with the said Peter Whetstone deceased in reference to his lands, which he said he had entered for his children as their portion of his property. I enquired of him whether he had written receipts from those children to whom he had given land he said he had not. I then told him if he did not take receipts, that when he died, they would come in with the children to whom he had given nothing for the equal share of the Home farm. He replied that he would make out papers to present that. I know that Jacob Bash and Mary his wife, Adam Musser & Catharine his wife, Jacob Whetstone, Peter Whetstone and Daniel Whetstone respectively took poss ession of the lands mentioned in the petition filed in this cause. These are the same lands about which the said Peter Whetstone & myself were conversing. These lands were then unimproved and were worth one hundred dollars each. There was a plenty of land in the neighborhood for entry at that time at that price. I was present at the apprais ment of the personal property of the Estate of Peter Whetstone decd, and saw Mr. Strough produce the paper		Ph8824-164A.jpg Ph8824-164B.jpg Document Images:  Doc4923.pdf Transcription:  Doc4923-Transcription.pdf

They each admitted that they had received advancement as stated in that paper. The conveyances for these lands were not executed until the grantees were over twenty one years of age. I see the farm of which Peter Whetstone died seized pretty much every day and consider it now worth twelve hundred and fifty dollars subject to the dower Estate of the said Mary Whetstone. In the conversation above refereed to Peter Whetstone decd informed me that he had allowed his children, for whom he had purchased lands to make the selections to suit themselves and that he then went and entered the land he selected.
