In the name of God, Amen! I, Jemima Ensor of Baltimore County in the State of Maryland 
being weak in body but of a sound and disposing mind memory and understanding, 
considering the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the 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 unto 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 and bequeath as follows. 

It is my wish and desire that my negro woman Milcah and her child Priscilla be free at my 
death. 

Item I will and bequeath all my personal estate to my son Luke B. Ensor to him his heirs 
and assigns forever. 

And lastly I do hereby constitute and appoint my said son Luke B. Ensor to be sole 
executor of this my last will and testament revoking and annulling all former wills by me 
heretofore made ratifyiing and confirming this and none ohter to be my last will and 
testament. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 
tenth day of August in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and thirty five.
