    1. [MDCECIL] wills

    3. When I offered to look up wills in the 15 volumes of Maryland wills by Baldwin and Wright, I used the one volume list of Maryland wills by Magruder in order to identify which of the 15 volumes I needed. Many of you have written asking for a look-up. Some were too late for the 1777 end of the volumes. The others I checked with Magruder and said, "No wills." Today as I was looking up Whitton, Witton by all spellings, I found the will date in Magruder and went to the correct volume of Baldwin to copy out the abstract for Liz. Checking the index of THAT volume I realized that Magruder only gives wills. Baldwin and Wright index all mentions of people. And I found what I consider to be two important clues for Liz, one has a legatee, and the other as a married daughter. SO-O-O-O even though I am pressed for time, I will look AGAIN for your surnames in the Baldwin and Wright volumes IF YOU CAN GIVE ME AN APPROX DATE. I would love to check all of them for all of you, but just don't have the time. These volumes are available in large libraries and LDS films, but I am willing to continue looking up as I have the time. My own research is in Cecil Co and Somerset Co, and to one request today I was able to add my own notes on the family being researched. Be glad to help when I can. Cathy
