In the name of God. Amen. I Joseph Boxwell of Allegany County and State of 
Maryland, being of sound and disposing mind, memory, and discretion, but weak in 
health, and being also desirous to settle all my worldly affairs, do make this 
my Last Will and Testament, as follows, viz, I devise and bequeath the whole of 
my Estate, Real, Personal, and Mixed, both in Law and Equity, to my four 
daughters Sarah, Winifred, Letty and Mary, to have and to hold to them, share 
and share alike, and to their heirs for ever. And is is my will that if either 
of the said Legatees shall die, not having lawful issue at the time of her 
death, then and in that case, her portion shall go to and be divided among the 
surviving Legatees share and share alike. In testimony whereof I have hereunto 
set my hand and affixed my seal this 7th day of April 1838.
