William Wilson’s Last Will and Testament
In the name of God, Amen!  I William Wilson of Baltimore County, in the State 
of Maryland being weak in body, but of sound 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 
into the hands of Almighty god, and my body to the earth, to be decently 
buried at the discretion of my Executrix herein after named and after my debts 
and funeral charges are paid, I devise and bequeath as follows:  I give and 
bequeath my part of a house and lot in Pratt street No. 53 in the City of 
Baltimore to be equally divided between my five children, namely, Walter 
Wilson, Ann Shipley, Mary Cook, William Wilson, and Catharine Rowles, and in 
addition thereto I give and bequeath unto my children Walter Wilson, Mary 
Cook, William Wilson and Catharine Rowles the sum of five dollars each, which 
shall go and be in full satisfaction of all right, title, interest, claim and 
demand whatsoever, which they may, or can in any way pretend to have or claim, 
of; in or to all or any part of my real or personal estate.  And whereas by my 
deed of conveyance to Ann Shipley, A lot of ground was included therein before 
the same was legally conveyed to me by Benjamin Palmer.  I now therefore give 
and bequeath unto my daughter Ann Shipley all my right and title to the 
aforesaid lot of ground since conveyed to me by the aforesaid Benjamin Palmer, 
to her and her heirs and assigns forever.  Item, For and in consideration of 
the great care and attention paid to me in my old age by my daughter Ann 
Shipley, and the natural affection I have for her, as she lives with me I give 
and bequeath unto all my stock and shares of public stock that may be on any 
of the books in Baltimore in my name, together with all the rest, residue and 
remainder of my estate, both real and personal not herein before devised unto 
her the aforesaid Ann Shipley.  And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint 
my aforesaid daughter Ann Shipley, to be sole Executrix 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 hereunto set my hand, and affixed my seal, this 
twenty second day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred 
and thirty one.
Wm Wilson
