1751 - Jan. 17 - Jacob wrote his will in German. A just translation of the following German will, per J.B. Sculpius.
In the name of the Holy Trinity: Since I, the subscriber although weak in body, yet in my perfect senses, have considered how certain death is, therefore concluded to put my house in order, and hereby make my last will carefully amongst my family.
I recommend and submissively (submit?) my soul to the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, through His blood redeemed to guard in His hand until the day of resurrection, and my body to be buried in the Lutheran burial place in my sepulchure.
I recommend my wife and children to the protection of their Heavenly Father, and pray He will be their husband and father, and exhort them that they would all their lives long keep God before their eyes and prepare for eternity.
About my effects I order as follows:
1. As long a my wife remains in her widowhood and accomplishes the bringing up of her children, there shall be nothing sold, but remain together and administered by my wife and oldest son until the youngest child is ten years old, but if my wife marry again, then may she if willing remain upon the place and keep her house and have her third part according law of all moveables and revenues, and shall have for every child until it is 12 years old five pounds Pennsylvania currency per year for the bringing up of them, as long as the children are comfortably sent to school, she shall have 20 shillings school money, upon consideration that she nor her husband do not cut any wood nor cause any to be cut to sell, or use any further than is needful for fencing and what depends thereto, though they may use any dead wood for fireing or housekeeping.
2. My widow, or those in whose care the children may be intrusted, shall keep them in due season to school and church, and take care that every one of them before it comes to be 18 years of age may be admitted to communion and confession. This is my solemn will.
3. When the youngest of my children aforesaid, is 10 years old, then shall everything be set down and be divided amongst them whereby it is to be observed - That the oldest son, John, for his heritage above the rest shall have twenty pounds sterling for himself.
4. My only daughter, Mary Barbara, shall when she shall marry, besides her usual portion, have first a good bed according to her condition, and if she should marry without the consent of her mother, and the hereinafter named councillors, then shall this be nil and void.
5. After my decease, and in four weeks time, shall all my estate, moveables, or whatsoever it may be called, be praised by honest men in the presence of my wife and son, and the hereinafter named counsellors.
6. The Evangelical church here in Germantown at Cettlehouses shall receive 5 pounds Pennsylvania currency out of my estate within one half year after my decease which John Grethousen and Anthony Gilbert as trustees are to receive and account for.
7. My wife and last widow Anna Margareta Hinkel, and my oldest son John, are hereby instituted to be executors of this my last will and are in virtue hereof ordained with the condition that -
8. The two aforesaid executors as to their advice and counsel accept and use those two men, viz., Henry Keppele, my dear godfather at Philadelphia, and Anthony Gilbert, my trusted friend in Germantown, so that in weighty matters they be advised by them and without their advice not to execute anything. I hope that those two men will out of love and friendship to my family take care that all my debts be paid and that those which are indebted to me make payment, and that all according to my testament be ordered.
To the confirmation of which have I in the presence of all witnesses given at the first mentioned date.
Antoni Henckel

1753 - Sept. 5 - Philadelphia, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. Jacob's widow Anna Margareta, her new husband Martin Groff/Grove and her son John probated Jacob's estate:
The court accounts show an inventory of property amounting to 313 pounds, 15 shillings and the balance at settlement was 89 pounds.
The widow and son John evidently managed the estate detrimental to the interests of the other children as they went to court and asked for guardians. (Orphans' Court, Docket No. 4, Sept. 5, 1753).
The petition of Anthony, Philip, Charles, Henry, Peter, Michael and Bemjamin Hinkle and John Conrad and Barbara his wife, late Barbara Hinkle, a minor was presented, setting forth that the said Anthony, Philip, Charles, Henry, Peter and Benjamin Hinkle, and Barbara Conrad are all minor children of Anthony Hinkle late of Germantown who died in January 1751, seized and possessed of considerable real estate, and by will did appoint his wife Anna Margaret, now the wife of Martin Groff, and his oldest son John Hinkle, executors, and desiring the court to appoint suitable persons as their guardians, whereupon, Dewalt Endt and William Levering were appointed guardians fo those under fourteen years of age, viz., Charles, Peter, Michael, Henry and Benjamin. John Conrads was appointed guardian for his wife, and Anthony and Philip being upward of fourteen years of age made choice of William Levering as their guardian.
1753 - Oct. 27 - Philadelphia, Bucks Co., PA - Estate settlement continued:
At this same court the children asked that auditors be appointed to examine the accounts of their mother Mrs. Groff and their brother John, in the administration of the estate. The court then appointed William Dewees, Peter Robinson, and Samuel Morris, to examine and settle the accounts of the executors and report at the next orphans' court. Their report filed, Oct. 27, 1753, is as follows: "Pursuant to the within order, Dewees, Morris and Robinson examined the accounts of Anna Margaret Grove one of the said executors to the said estate and find balance due to the said estate of 43 pounds, 9 shillings and 3 pence."
1766 - Sept. 2 - Philadelphia, Bucks Co., PA - Jacob & Anna Margareta's children partitioned the estate in order to protect their interests:
A reference to the will of Anthony Henkle, Jr., will show that he gave his widow, in case of her remarriage, the privilege of remaining on the estate for a period of ten years. The records show that she prolonged her stay to fifteen years.
The heirs instituted proceedings in partition in the spring of 1766. The settlement and division of the property was made, Sept. 2, 1766 each of the children receiving a share, John the oldest took the old home and fifteen acres of land. This was the "Mermaid Inn" which had been established by his father, and which he continued until his removal to York County some years later.
