(Note by Wayne Jones: The witness, Peter Petty was the husband of Mary Eveland, daughter of Fredrick Eveland and Anna Rosina Wolleben. It seems very likely that the witness, Jacob Winter was a son of Mary Willever Winter and her husband, Peter Winter. The deceased John Woolever, of Mansfield Twp., apparently was the father of Daniel Willever, known to have been the first settler of Jerseytown, PA., which is and was in Madison Twp., Columbia Co., PA.)

Columbia Co, Pennsylvania - In the Will Bk. Vol. 2 Pg. 233 in Col. Co. Court House there is a Jacob Welliver who died in 1843 the residence listed as Madison Twp. It is recorded 27 Feb. 1848. His widow renounced named Nancy. His administrators were John CHRISTIAN and Marshall G. Shoemaker. I would think that Frances is his daughter. In 1790 PA Census for Northumberland Co. there is only one Jacob with only one female listed. I could not find a widowed Nancy Welliver in Madison Twp., 1850 Census, or living with a family member anywhere, or any record of property division.
