In the name of God Amen---I John Steel of the County of Cecil and State of 
Maryland being weak of body but of sound mind and understanding and 
considering the act of death and the uncertainity 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 home---do therefore 
make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form following 
that is to say:
First I commit my soul to God and my body to the earth to be buried at the 
discretion of my executrix. And after my debts and funeral expences are duely 
paid and satisfied, I devise and bequeath as follows:
I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Sarah Ann Steele all my estate both 
real and personal during her natural life, so long as she remains a widow and 
my youngest daughter Sarah R. Steele being deformed and likely to remain a 
cripple during her life must be fed, clothed and furnished with all the 
necessities by my said wife Sarah Ann Steele out of the said property--
Should she however marry a second husband--I then give and bequeath to my 
before mentioned deformed daughter Sarah R. Steel all my property both real 
and personal above mentioned for her use and maintenance--If however in case 
of the death of my daughter Sarah R. Steele before said property shall legally 
come into her hands then at the death or expiration of the widowhood of my 
beloved wife, Sarah Ann Steele, the said property to go to my son James and 
daughter Jane Steele. Share and share alike. And lastly I herein constitute 
and appoint my wife to be the executrix of this my last will and testatment 
hereby revoking all former wills which may have by me been made and ratifying 
and confirming this and none other to be my last will and testament.
Witnesses: John S. Smith, John B. MccIntire, William T. Bye
