    <abstract id="aspace_32924d601420b3ee4ac35d3c4109bd6f">Will of Christopher Beeler of Hampshire County. Apparently he was a man of some wealth because he left a house in Alexandria, VA to be sold and the proceeds divided among his grandchildren. He also owned land between New Creek and the North Branch of the Potomac which he left to his daughter Mary and children who resided there. He left 100 pounds to his sister in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania "for taking care of my Daughter Catherine when there and in her sickness."</abstract>
