Notes:
On 20 Aug 1788, David Mumma, the son of Leonard Mumma wrote his Will [Letzter Wille] - Baltimore County Wills Book #5, pg 20] and states "Intending with the Grace of God to make a voyage to Holland and for fear of accidents (I) think it necessary to settle my worldly affairs". He then named his wife, Barbara, and his children. In his Will, He left only 20 pounds to his wife and 1 shilling to two of his chidren because "their conduct and behavior to me of late has been such that I don't think they are deserving of anything more from me". He left the balance of his estate to the remaining children. The three girls are married and two of the three sons are likewise married. David's age at this time is about 61 years old.
From Nov 6, 1789 to December 25, 1789, Barbara Mumma filed the following notice in the Baltimore Journal newspaper.
"NOTICE is hereby given, tha the subscriber intends petitioning the General Assembly of Maryland, at their next session, for a Law to prevent her husband, DAVID MUMMA, from disposing of, or, in any waywise, vonveying his property away, to the prejudice of his Wife and Children
