The Documents below were posted at ancestry.com by other descendents of Christian Glass. The transcriptions below each document were written by the webmaster of this site on April 2, 2017. The transcriptions are only an attempt at documenting the verbiage. Although the 4th document seems to be a duplicate of documents 2 and 3, there are differences in spacing, spelling, and capitalization. Although the will documents are similar, they do not appear to be written by the same person.
