Last Will and Testament of
Governor Samuel Ogle, Esq.
In the name of God Amen, I Samuel Ogle, Esq. Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Maryland being of disposing mind and memory, doe make this my last Will and Testament. Imprimis as I am possessed of and entitled to a considerable sum of money in Bank Stock Lot uncertain whether the same amounts to five thousand pounds principal stock or whether the annual interest or dividend payable thereon will amount to two hundred and fifty pounds sterling and as I design that two hundred and fifty pounds sterling should be annually paid to my dear wife Ann Ogle during her life out of my estate. Thereby devise and direct my Executor hereinafter named shall as soon as conveniently may be placed or caused to be placed in Bank Stock such further sum or sums of money out of my personal estate as will be sufficient to make up such deficiency as may be of five thousand pounds principal Bank Stock belonging to me at the time of my death and out of the interest or dividends on the whole stock I direct and will that my Executor shall pay to my said Wife two hundred and fifty pounds sterling during her natural life, but in case such interest or dividends shall not at anytime amount to two hundred and fifty pounds sterling then I order and will that my said Executor shall yearly and every year pay and make up to my said dear Wife such deficiency of the said two hundred and fifty pounds sterling out of the interest arising on the other part of my personal estate.
Item I give and devise to my said dear Wife all her wearing apparel and lines of what kind soever together with my coach chariot and coach horses and the furniture of my house in the City of Annapolis, as also the use of any six house Negroes as she shall choose and the use of all my plate during her life and these aforesaid several bequests so much more considerable than the provision secured to her by any marriage agreement. I make as an instance of my sincere affection and tenderness for her and in lieu of what she might claim by virtue of the said marriage agreement or otherwise out of my estate.
Item I give and devise to my dear son Benjamin Ogle and his heirs my house and land in Prince George's County as also all my Negroes shares together with my stock of what kind soever and horses (except the English horses and their breed which I desire may be sold) and every implement and utensil belonging to or used on my said plantation in the said County at the time of my death.
Item I give and bequeath twelve hundred pounds sterling to my dear daughter Mary Ogle and also the like sum of twelve hundred pounds sterling to my dear daughter Meliora Ogle.
Item All the rest and residue of my real and personal estate of what nature of kind whatsoever either in America, Europe or elsewhere after my debts or legacies shall be paid I give devise and bequeath to my said dear son.
Item My desire is that none of my estate shall continue at the risque of my Executors but that the land and Negroes herein before devised to my son shall be kept and amintained at the expense and risque of my said son and the profits arising therefrom to be discounted for to his use and benefit and also that the other parts of my personal estate not now consisting in money or securities for money and otherwise herein disposed of shall as soon as my be converted into money for the benefit of my estate and uses of this my Will.
Item My Will and desire is that the legacies herein before bequeathed to my two daughters should be placed out at interest in such a manner as my Executors shall think fit and that they shall be maintained by such interest, but what may be more than sufficient for such maintenance shall be also placed out at interest and paid to each of them together with the principal at their respective ages of eighteen years or days of marriage, but in case either of them should dye before such age and day of marriage then what is herein bequeathed to her so dying shall be divided and paid to her surviving sister at her said age or day of marriage and my said son equally if he shall survive at his age of twenty-one years and in case both my said daughters dye before such ages or days of marriage then the whole bequests to them shall be paid to my son at his age aforesaid. And in case my said son should dye before his age of twenty-one years then what is herein before bequeathed to my said son shall descent to and rest in my said daughter or daughter surviving him.
Item I hereby appoint my Executors to be Guardians of my said son and desire that he may be educated in England. Lastly I nominate and appoint Benjamin Tasker, Esq. and Col. Benjamin Tasker to be joint Executors of this my Will and to each of them I give and bequeath one hundred pounds sterling for the trouble and care which they may have in the execution of this my Will and thereby revoke all former and other Wills by me heretofore made.
