Misc. Notes

"To my beloved son-in-law Abraham Barron that parcel of land lying in Charles County in the White Oak Swamp called 'Williamses Folly,' formerly the property of Thomas Williams (Elisabeth Williams Suit’s father) and by him devised to a certain Jean Ellis (Elisabeth Williams Suit’s sister) during her natural life, and after her decease has fallen to me by heirship and has never been acknowledged by me to any person but is in possession of Thomas Burch among the other land of the said Williams. I give all the said land that was given to Jean Ellis to the said Abraham Barron and his heirs and assigns forever."
Executor: Abraham Barron.
Signed Elizabeth Suit (makes her mark "C").
Witnesses: Richard Burch, John Bowling, Ann Tubb.
Richard Burch gave Thomas Suit the heir at law notice to be present at the probate and he refused to attend.
Sources:(1) Charles County, Md. Wills, 1767-1777," p. 165, and (2) Maryland Calendar of Wills, Vol. 15, p. 48.
Comment: Abraham Barron was m. to Elizabeth's dau. Catherine Suit. Source (2) reads the surname as "Burk" but "Burch" as shown in source (1) is clearly correct. There is no inventory or administration account for Elizabeth.
