Every name mentioned in the will is abstracted, land tract names, residence and occupation of the deceased when given.

York County was established in 1749 from Lancaster County, and in 1800 Adams County was founded from York County. One must consider these dates when looking for the records. These abstracts contain the names of persons mentioned in wills: decedents, heirs, trustees, guardians, witnesses, executors, debtors and relatives. They also provide references to property being devised and dates the wills were written and proved.
