The last will of Jacob Frey, of Towamencin, dated Feb. 28, 1782, was proved Jan. 7, 1785, at Norristown, county seat of the then new county of Montgomery. In his will he gives to his wife, Margaret, the household goods, and directs all other personal estate to be sold and distribution made between "all my children, viz.: Jacob, Joseph, George, William and Henry." His farm of about 200 acres (probably the original homestead), he divided, one-half to Jacob, one-fourth to George and one-fourth to Joseph, and then made provision for equalization. The date of probate of his will indicates an age of 90 years. He was, doubtless, buried in the old Frey graveyard." - "The Levering Family History and Genealogy" by Col. John Levering, page 107.
