STOCKER in WEILER according to a letter of credit written on the 7th January,
1764 for an amount of 30 Gulden.
On this amount my 4 guardians
children claim for one third in the name of their deceased mother as this
credit had been made in her lifetime and only included in the father's

five children each 20 Gulden, but 3 Gulden has already been paid on this sum,
