Upon the hearing and debateing the matter in question betweene
the Said parties this present day in the presence of the Attornyes
on both sides The scope of the Comp :lts bill appeared to bee that the said Richard Beck ffather of ye Complts did in October Court in
the yeare of our Lord God One thousand six hundred seaventy and
seaven Exhibitt his bill of Complt into this Court against the said
Defendant Thereby setting forth That one Nicholas Emerson of
Charles County decd haveing marryed Elizabeth the Complt Richards mother by whom he had a great estate in this Province and in Virginia which he sold and disposed off to his owne use without leaveing anything in case hee dyed for the mainteyance of his Said wife or the Comp.lt Richard and John Beck his brother deed Hee the Said Nicholas afterwards minding to settle on them the said
Elizabeth and the Comp.lt Richard and his brother some Land for
their future mainteynance about seaven yeares then since bought of one Thomas Allenson a pcell of Land in Charles County called
Howland conteyning two hundred acres which hee did settle on
Stephen Mountague by Deed duely executed but in trust for the
said Elizabeth and her Children and then too be a Deed from
Mountague to declare the Trust or bonds of Twenty thousand
pounds of Tobacco penalty that Stephen Mountague should Convey
the same to ifeoffees in trust for the said Elizabeth and the Comp.lts
father and his said Brother That before such deed made in Trust
the said Nicholas Emerson dyed about six yeares then since and the Said Elizabeth soone after also dyed and the said Stephen Mountague as their Executo.r or Adm.r entred into and possessed himselfe of ye said Emersons personall estate and all their writeings and perticularly of the said Deed of Trust or bonds aforesaid and shortly after dyed haveing first made his Will and the Defendant Executor to whom he devised the said Land as the Compits had then heard And the said Defendant ever since the death of the said Stephen Mountagne kept possession and received the Profitts thereof refuseing to deliver the same to the Complt Richard to whom the interest of the Trust aforesaid was wholly then come the said John being deced according to the Trust aforesaid And the Complt Richard being newly come of age demanded the performance of the Trust aforesaid and to have the possession of the premisses delivered to him but the defendant did absolutely deny the same or that there was any trust aforesaid Therefore to discover the trust and to examine his Wittnesses in perpetuam rei memoriam they being very aged and infirme and to have ye said Lands called Howland to the said Compits Decreed and his heyres for ever according to the Said Trust and that ye Said Richard might bee releived in ye premisses according to Equity hee humbly craveing the ayd and assistance of this honble Court and that pcesse of Subp :a might bee thereout awarded against the said Defendant to appeare in the said Court and answer the premisses The which being graunted and the said Defendant therewithall served hee appeared accordingly and putt in his answere to the Said bill and therein did sett forth That the said Nicholas Emerson haveing purchased the Said Land called Howland and being considerably indebted to the said Stephen Mountague as hee beleives upon the Thirtieth of June one thousand six hundred sixty eight did passe bond of Twenty thousand pounds of Tobacco to the Said Stephen Mountague with Condicon to Convey the premisses to the said Stephen and pursueant to the said bond he did the Twenty ninth day of July one thousand six hundred sixty nine convey the said Land to the said Stephen Mountagne in consideracon of ffive thousand pounds of tobacco in an absolute estate of inheritance in ffee simple but denyed hee knew of any Trust nor doth he beleive there was any such Trust as in the bill is sett forth but the said Stephen was a purchaser for a Valueable consideracon And the Said Defendant further said that the Said Nicholas Emerson made a Will in writeing dated the Twentieth day of March one thousand six hundred & seaventy and made Elizabeth his wife Executrix and she possessed her self e of his Estate and dyed intestate That the fourth of January one thousand six hundred seaventy one the said Complt Richard administred her estate and by Virtue thereof possessed himselfe of all their papers and if there were any such Deed or Declaracon of Trust or bonds as by the bill is sett forth the same came to the Said Richards hands That five yeares since the Said Stephen Mountague also dyed haveing made his Will and the Defendant his sole Ex.r and Generall heyre and thereby desired that all such debts that hee owed should be truely paid and for the due and true pformance thereof his intent will and meaneing was that his Land lyeing at Gingoomaxen being three hundred acres as also all his goods Cattle and Chattells Should bee appraised and disposed off for the payment of the said Stephens Debts and after the said debts were paid the remainder he did give and bequeath to the said Defendant whom he named his Ex.T & Gen :ll heyre aforesaid and bee did give and bequeath to Mary Emerson the Daughter of Nicholas and Eliz.a Emerson one hundred acres of Land lately surveyed by M.r Richard Edelin for him att Mattawoman joyning upon a Tract of Land Called Howland the Said one hundred acres being taken upp in trust for her use As by the said Will may appeare And this Defendant beleived that since the said Stephen was soe conscionable to order payment of his debts and give the One hundred acres to Mary Emerson and was soe sensible of his Accons hee beleives in his Conscience had there beene any such Trust in the Land called Howland hee would as well have devised it to the Page 147 Complt Richard as to ye defendant being a meere stranger to him said hee proved the sayed Will and thereby possessed his personall estate and also ye Land called Howland and is in possession thereof and absolutely denyed the said Trust or that the said Howland is subject to any such Trust but sayed hee kept possession thereof as his pper inheritance and to him bequeathed by the said Stephen Mountague as aforesaid and with the Generall Traverse he Concluded his answer To which answer of the said defendant the said Richard replyed but before any further proceedings were had in the said cause the said Richard Beck the Complts ffather dyed leaveing the Complt the Infant his Daughter and Coheyre And thereupon they did in June Court one thousand six hundred seaventy Eight Exhibitted their bill of Revivor into the said Court against the said Defendant to have the said suite revived and stand in such plight and Condicon as it did at the time of the death of the said Richard and did also pray to bee releived touching the said Trust and that pcesse of Supã might bee also awarded against the said Defendant to appeare and answere the said bill of Revivor w.ch being likewise graunted and the said defendant therewith served hee appeared accordingly and did not oppose the Revivor of the said suite and the same stood Revived accordingly and the said parties being att issue severall Wittnesses were Examined in the said Cause and their deposicons duely published according to the rules of this Court As by the said bill answere Replicacon Examinacon of Wittnesses and other pceedings had in this Cause all of them remaining of Record in the Secretaryes office may more att large appeare. And the Said causes soe standing this day was appointed for a heareing thereof This Court thereupon and upon reading of the Will of the said Stephen Mountague and the deposicons taken in this cause was fully satisfied that the said Trust was well and sufficiently proved to be to the use of the said Complts and their heyres forever and that had not the said Trust beene soe effectually proved as it was upon the hearing and debateing the matter in question betweene the said parties in the presence of the attorneys on both sides and the Complts bill of Complaint and bill of Revivor and the Defendants answere and Complts Replicacon being openly read and and heard and severall Wittnesses examined and their deposicons duely published, and upon hearing and debateing thereupon this Court thereupon and upon hearing the Will of Stephen Mountague in the bill of Comp.tt menconed and the deposicons taken this Cause was fully satisfied that the said Trust in the bill of Comp :it menconed was well and sufficiently proved to be to the use of the said Complts and their heyres for Ever And that had not the said trust bin so effectually proved as it was, Yet it appeared to this Court that the said defendant had noe right or title to the said Land called Howland by the said Will there being noe disposicon thereof made by the said Will and that the word [Generall heyre] cannot create to the person soe named any estate of inheritance doe therefore thinke fitt and soe order and Decree that the said Complts and their heyres doe hold and enjoy the said Land and premisses called Howland to them and theyre heyres for Ever according to the trust aforesaid and that the defendant his Tennants and assignes doe forthwith deliver unto the Said Compits or to their said mother and gardian or in trust for them or to such as shee or they shall appoint to receive the Same the quiet and peaceable possession of the Said Land called Howland, ifree and clere of all Incumbrances done by him or any claiming by from or under him or them and that the Said Defendant doe pay unto the said Complt costs of suite in this behalfe by them and the Said Richard Beck their father laid out and Expended
