Notes for EPHRAIM BILDERBACK:

The first record of Ephraim is a petition signed by inhabitants of Frederick, MD., on March 5, 1766.  His name is also on a March, 1767 pay list as a private serving under Captain Joseph Chaplin of Frederick Co.,MD.  They moved to Ohio County, VA, but sold land there on May 2,1791and went  to Fleming County,KY.  His will was written in 1794 and was recorded in Randolph Co., IL., but it is believed he died in KY.

(Copied from the original recorded in Deed Record J, page 203, Randolph County, IL.)

 

      In the name of god, Amen.  I, Ephraim Bilderback, being through the abundant mercy and goodness of God,  Though weak in body, yet  sound and perfect understanding and memory, do constitute this my last will and testament, and desire it may be received by all as such.

      First, I most humbly bequeath my soul to God, my maker, beseeching His most gracious acceptance of it through the all sufficient merits and meditation of my most compassionate Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself to be an atonement for my sins and is able to save to the uttermost all who come to God by Him, seeing he ever liveth to make interception for them, and who I trust will not reject me a returning penitent sinner when I come to Him for mercy.  Blessed be God.

      I give my body to the earth from whence it was taken in fill assurance of it's resurrection from thence at the last day.

      As for my burial, I desire it may be decent, without pomp or state. at the discretion of my dear wife and my executors here after named who I doubt not will manage it with all requested prudence, as to my worldly estate, I will and positively order that all my debts be paid first. I give to my dear and loving wife for the term of her life the house  wherein I now live with all the furniture and two cows with fodder  and grain to feed them and one horse with sufficient maintenance.

      To my son Charles' son, Ephraim, I leave five shillings.

      To my son, Jacob, I leave five shillings.

      To my son, Ephraim, I leave five shillings.

      To my son, Thomas, I leave five shillings.

      To my grandson, Daniel, I leave a horse when he comes of age.    The cows and horses and sheep and hogs, with the Plantation, to be divided between my three youngest sons: William, John and Gabriel, equally.

      I do constitute my sons Ephraim and William to be the executors and Trustees for my wife and children in witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal  the Twenty Sixth day of March, One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Four.

From:      hliggett@ald.net (Harry Liggett)

 

Jane Stewart was listed as age 26 to 45 in the 1810 census and 70 to 80 in the 1840 cansus.  I estimate she was born a year or two after her husband who was born in 1764.  Maybe Marshall Bilderback or some other descendantd of Eprhiam would have a better idea of Jane's birth date and place..
