WICOMICO COUNTY, MARYLAND WILLS LIBE R WB # 1 De c e mb e r 1 867-De c e mbe r 1 879

The following wills have been abstracted from the Wc imico county Register of Wills documents whi c h can c m n be found on microfi lm MSA CR65 from the Maryland Hall of Records . Wi o ico cou ty was established in 1 867 out of the Worc ester and Somerset Counties .

We have attempted to abstrac t as mu c h vital information as possible in order to facilitate the researcher in fi r a n r r - c n a a r their quest . The st d te give efe s to the date the will was written the se o d d te is th t of the p obate of the ar and r n m n n r a all will . Following down , are the v ious legatees elationship (whe e tio ed) to the testato . We h ve listed ’ In ma bequests followi ng the legatee s name and have done so by pulling all the information together. ny of the the e are t r in c wills , bequ sts scattered about, so that our abs racts do not fully follow the exact o der whi h the will was a d m n m - r m n n - r r written . We have lso inclu ed the tract na es and the a es of individuals whe e e tio ed whose p ope ty ’ lay adjacent to the testator s land .

fi c i m r i r c n a n on One of the dif ulties of abstract ng old docu ents is the handw it ng of the cle k , The wills o t i ed ’

microfi hn are r r n c m . r r m as had the all cle k s copies of the o igi al do u ent Thus , the cle k did copy ve bati the will it na man re r n and am as a c been dictated onto the origi l . In y cases these we w itte spelled the s e the test tor spoke whi h im r n r r in m n anc a ne causes some problems of translation. However it is po ta t for the esea cher so e i st es s it gives o a m sense of how the testator spoke and what ty pe of di alect he may h ave had . The ost obvious is the spell ing of some “ ” “ ” “ ” “ ” ” m -He ser for r or of the na es , Heste Sary for Sarah and Alec for Alice Also “ ” ” r a the dialec t of the shore made it common for the inhabitants to use the wo ds D ster or dater for daughter. nam r n m ar in c r a ac 2 r r r n m ra o e a in n. Whe e a es or t ct es eve ite s de iphe ble , we h ve pl ed ( ) afte the wo d questio

At the end of the will are the signatures of the subscribing witnesses -being those who could swe ar th at the n m n n will was the acknowledged will of the testator and that he was of sou d i d whe the document was writt en . Then came : refers to those witnesses who appeared before the magistrates to swear of their presenc e and the authenti c ity of the will .

Following Then came May be another Then came in which the widow appeared before the magistrates and r a r a and n r or eithe g eed to abide by the leg cies divisio s of the will as w itten , r and n a c a her r m an -b law - a one r her r efused i ste d ele ted to h ve lawful thi ds , which e s she could y t ke thi d ( dowe ’ portion) of the testator s estate both in real estate and personal estate .
