Henry Judy Will, Pendleton Co., W. Va.

Dated 9-2-1822 and probated 6-8-1824. Ref. Will Book 3,page 213 or p. 278. Witnesses: Abraham Wise, Nicholas Lewis and Jacob Wise. Nicholas Lewis and Jacob Wise appeared and made proof. Sons: Geo. Judy, John Judy and son-in-law Peter Draise named Executors. Peter Draise qualified with Aaron Welton surety. Beneficiaries: wife, Magdalene Judy (wife at his death - 1st Barbara) to have one-third, of Movable estate: sons: Henry Judy Jr, Martin Judy II, George Judy, John Judy and Jacob Judy; Elizabeth (Judy) Draise, Barbara (1st wife) and her heirs and dau. Susanna (Judy) Goldizen. Provision for division among all children. (First wife) Barbara's oldest son Enoch Judy $20 when he arrived at age (21 yrs.)" Geo. Judy and John Judy and son-in-law Peter Draise qualified as Executors.

As I studied this I believe the statements the author made in parenthesis, "Barbara (1st wife) and (First wife) Barbara's oldest son Enoch" are in error. This Barbara was probably Henry Judy Sr's daughter. This would mean Henry left part of his estate to his daughter Barbara and her heirs (one of whom was her oldest son Enoch).

Martin Tschudi was born on 8 Mar 1708 in Sissach, Basel, Switzerland. He was the son of Johannes Von Tschudi (1675-1765) and Anna Muller Tschudi (1675-).
