Last Will and Testament of Vincent Cole

In the name of God, Amen! I, Vincent Cole of Baltimore County, in the 
State of Maryland, being sick and weak in body, but of sound mind and 
memory, considering the certainty of death and the uncertainty of time 
thereof and being desirous to settle my worldly affairs and thereby be 
the better prepared to leave this world when it shall please God to call 
me hence, do therefore make and publish this my last Will and 
Testament, in manner and form following; that is to say: First and 
principally, I commit my Soul into the hands of Almighty God, and my 
body to the earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executor 
herein after named, and after my debts and funeral charges are paid, I 
devise all my estate to the undernamed to be equally divided share and 
share alike that is Jordan Cole, Craven Cole, Ann Cole, Catherine Cole, 
Rebecca Cole and Elizabeth Cole. And Lastly, I do hereby constitute and 
appoint my son Jordan Cole, to be sole executor of this my last Will and 
Testament, revoking and annulling all former wills by me heretofore 
made, ratifying and confirming this, and none other, to be my last Will 
and Testament. In Testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand and 
affixed my seal, this twenty third day of December in the year of our 
Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty four.
