WILL OF JOHN HENDERSON

In the name of God amen. I, John Henderson, of Worchester County in the State of 
Maryland, being weak of body, but of sound mind, memory and understanding, 
considering the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the time thereof: and 
being desirous to arrange my worldly affairs as well as possible before it shall 
please Almighty God to call me hence, do make, publish, and declare this my last 
will in manner and form following: First and principally, I commit my soul into 
the hands of Almighty God who save it and my body to the dust from whence it 
came to be decently buried.

Item. In view of what I have previously done for my daughters Drucilla and 
Hester Ann and my sons Littleton and Oliver W. Henderson, I am now not able to 
provide further for them.

Item. I give and bequeath to my son John my bed and furniture and my school 
books.

Item. I give and bequeath to my son Julius E. Henderson, on condition that he 
support and provide for me during the balance of my life all the rest and 
remainder of my property including proceeds of sale of my River Swamp land now 
in the hands of my trustee for sale.

I nominate, constitute and appoint Wm J. Aydelotte sole executor of this my last 
will and testament – hereby revoking, annulling and making void all wills 
heretofore made by me.

In testimony whereof I . . . I hereunto set my hand and affix my seal this 31st 
day of August, A.D., 1880. 

Signed John Henderson seal
