I, Sarah Scrogan of Charles County, widow, being now [up] in years, and in a low
and precarious state of health, do make this my Will.
To my son Francis Mastin - besides the bed already he has had, he shall have
another bed and furniture, with a couple of cows & calves. Also an iron pot and
an iron kettle with a bale. Also a single woolen blanket and a small oval table.
To my daughter Anne Scrogan - my Negro fellow Ned, together with a couple of
cows and calves, at her choice, and a large iron pot now in her possession, a
parcel of new feathers, as she has had fewer beds than her brother & sister, a
single woolen blanket.
To my daughter Rose Robertson, my Negro lad John (or Jack). Also a couple of
beds with their furniture, a couple of cows & calves, at her choice, 2 pewter
dishes, 2 basins, and 6 plates, my desk & looking glass, my Dutch oven, spice
mortar and pestle, and an iron pot. Also a case with bottles, a large table, a young
steer for slaughter, and a sow and pig.
My earthenware is to be divided between my 3 children.
To my grandson Charles Mastin (as an expression of my regard for him) - a
young colt this season to be foaled by a gray mare.
To my grandson Richard Maston (from the same motive of regard) - a young
heifer.
To Charles Rigg - as he was raised by me and he has behaved well, I leave him
my bay mare.
I order my old bed to my old Negro woman Nan.
The rest of my estate (with the expressions hereafter mentioned) is to be sold by
my executors or kept by them (if my creditors are not harmed); there are to be no
wrangling disputes. I recommend harmony among my children, My Negroes
Lowhel and Nan are not to be sold, but rather, shall choose which of my children
they may like to go to. The balance after my just debts are paid, shall belong to
my son Francis Mastin. I recommend my grandchildren, Charles and Richard to
