Transcript from Montgomery County Wills Liber Z, folio 335

In the name of God Amen I, Hazel Burdict (sic) of Montgomery County and
state of Maryland, being weak in body but of sound mind, memory and
understanding and disposed to settle my worldly affairs when it may please 
Almighty God to call me from this world, Item first, that my body be 
decently buried at the discretion of my Executor and all my just debts 
are to be paid.  Second - I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife 
Elizabeth and my worthy stepson Washington Mobly all my personal and 
real estate whatsover to sell and dispose of it at their discretion 
for the use and benefit of my said wife and all my children, and any 
contract sale or deed of conveyance by them made for said property 
shall be binding as if myself had done it in fee simple.  My will and 
request is that the said Washington Mobly shall settle up the estate 
now unsettled of my late deceased father Benjamin Burdett.  Lastly, 
I do appoint the aforesaid Washington Mobly to be my sole Executor of

will and testament revoking all heretofore by me made.
