I was told they picked a trusted friend or neighbor, justice of peace, or one that could read and write to be executor. I believe Caspar was all these (but not a JP?). If it was Caspar Greismer, the Greismers were fellow French Hueganots, who fled to Germany and lived there for a time and then came to the Oley area. There is a monument/sign at Oley (think it may be near the churches there) to the first Greismers. I found several of my relatives exec. were friends or justice of peace. Gwen
