note:Codicil was witnessed by Joseph Gans & Abraham (his X Mark) Moser. The date of 11 July 1810 was the date he made the codicil. I didn't see a date on the will but then it may have been on the cover of the will and then when the second transcription of will book 1 was made the date was used for the original will. And he could have made the codicil the same day as the original will he something was forgotten.
