This document is written as near to the original as possible with the addition of some commas and periods to clarify the old script. Others of you have copies of these documents. Please peruse your copies and feel free to send Lori corrections as you see fit. Note: the signatures of Albert, Christian E, Sarah and Perlina were not theirs but were signed by the writer of the document with hisXmark. I feel sure at least some of them could write.
There were more than one of these bonds with the same or similar text with different heirs and amounts of inheritance. All differ as to purpose and date. This places the death date of George Samuel Brendel as prior to Sept l848 when the claim was made by the widow for distribution of a year's support. Apparently the final settlement was made in November l850. This is the same sheaf of papers (31 pages) which also contains the document quoted from Dorothy Bonar's papers where John Brendel inherited from his parents in PA, Eva and Georg Brendel 23 November 1885.
