Will of DANIEL UHL
In the name of God amen. I DANIEL UHL of Allegany County in the
state of Maryland, being of a sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, considering the certainty of
death, and the uncertainly of the time thereof, and being desirous to settle my worldly affairs, and thereby be
the better prepared to leave this world when it shall please God to call me hence, do therefore make and publish
this my last will and testament in manner and form following that is to say:
First and principally, I commit my soul into the hands of Almighty
God, and my body to the earth, to be decently buried at the discretion of my executors hereinafter named, and,
after my debts and funeral charges are paid, I devise and bequeath as follows.
I give and devise unto my dear wife MARY, my plantation whereon
I now dwell, containing about three hundred and twenty five acres more or less, and one third of all my personal
property during her mortal life.
I give and bequeath after the death of my dear wife MARY, to my
two youngest sons HIRAM and DANIEL, the farm which I now leave to my wife MARY, on condition as follows: (viz)
That they my sons HIRAM and DANIEL are to pay to my executors herein after named twenty dollars per acre, for the
three hundred and twenty five acres thus bequeathed to them in payments of three hundred dollars annually and without
interest. The first payment to be made one year after the death of my dear wife MARY and to continue until the
shares of all my children both sons & daughters are equal, But if in case that either of my before named sons
(HIRAM & DANIEL) should died before they arrive at the age of twenty one years, I devise that the share of
my deceased son shall be divided equally between my surviving children. And in case both should died before they
attain their twenty first year, I devise that both their shares be divided equally between my surviving children.
I give and bequeath to my son WILLIAM, a tract of land on which
JOHN BEAL now dwells, containing about one hundred and seventeen acres more or less on conditions that he pays
to the executors hereinafter named, the sum of twenty dollars per acre, in payments as follows (viz) one hundred
and fifty dollars to be paid within the present year, and then one hundred and fifty dollars a year, to be continued
until the shares of my sons and daughters are equal.
I give and bequeath to my sons HIRAM and DANIEL one horse each
to be of the value of sixty dollars each, when they attain their twenty first year.
I give and bequeath to my daughters LEAR, SUSANNA and LYDIA, sixty
dollars worth of furniture each.
I give and bequeath to each of my sons JOSEPH, WILLIAM, HIRAM and
DANIEL an equal share of all that remains of my estate after my debts and funeral charges are paid, and the before
mentioned bequest are taken out.
I give and bequeath to each of my daughters REBECCA, LEAR, SUSANNAH
& LYDIA equal shares with my sons of the residue of all my effects after the former bequests charges and debts
are paid.
I give and bequeath to my grand son (DANIEL UHL MADDEN son of my
daughter MARIA deceased) one hundred and fifty dollars, to be paid to him when he arrives at the age of twenty
one year. But in case he should died before he attains the age of twenty one, then it shall be equally divided
between my surviving children.
And lastly – I do hereby constitute and appoint my sons JOSPEH
and WILLIAM executors of this my last will and testament.

seal, this the second day of May in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred & forty eight. Signed DANIEL UHL
