      From the Barnhart Ancestors by Janet Walther

      Second marriage of Andreas Brinker
      On 28 Feb 1758, Andreas (Andrew Braucker) was married to Sarah (Maria Sara) Bayer, widow of Adam Beyer/Bayer/Boyer, who had ied in 1754 in Williams Twp.

      The Will of Andreas Brinker
      The copy of the will which is given below is from a Brinker family history, "Some Descendants of Andreas Brinker.~ (1699-1789) by Jean Woods, 1972 (LDS microfilm #o924474, Item 11), An abstract of the WIll is #65 on p. 7 of "Will Abstracts of Northampton CO., PA 1752-1802, compiled by John Eyerman and published by Closson Press, 1982.

      "In the name of God-amen, March the 12th in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and sixty four.

      I, Andreas Brincker, in the County of Northampton, of Lower Saucon Township-yeoman, being sick, but in perfect mind and memory, therefore I will make my last will and testament.

      I, Premier, it is my will, that I do order and give; that in the first place that my wife Sarah and my son Olrig Brinker be the executors of my estate and Olrigh Brincker have the place above in possession. Now the Real Estate is valued to 250 pounds, lawful money, and out of the whole a cow, a chest, a whole bed, bedstead and (?). And my son Olrig Brincker, to have the horses, the plow and gears. And I will bequeath to my son Hendrig Brincker, twenty pounds lawful money of Pena. out of the estate. And the remainder of the estate to be divided between the three sons namely, Olrig Brincker, Conrad Brincker, and Jacob Brincker, equal shares in the whole. And my daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Bessen, to have out of the whole estate six pounds, and a cow, and all the moveable to be valued by appraisement. And my son Jacob is in debt to the estate, ten pounds and that I do give unto him for a peresent. And this I will to be my last will and testament, sealed, signed, published and (?)
      Andreas Brincker (his mark)
      Witnesses: Anthony Lerch, Rudolph Overly (his mark)

      The will is in File 372, Northampton Co., Courthouse, Easton, PA. It was "proved" by the executors on 12 May 1764, so Andreas died sometime in the two months after the will was written.

      Although the will mentions farm animals and equiptment, there is no mention of a Mill, which should be expected if Andreas was a Miller. I have not seen an appraisal list of the estate. [1]
