L39, f99 I examined the original libers myself this summer at MD Archives and took photos of liber pgs including the wills of Alexander, John Hambleton of Talbot Co., and the above William Hamilton of C.C. The last line on the will in the original liber at MD Archives CC#3, f290 reads: "NB[?] Joseph Hamilton heir at Sworn Before Law was at the time of the taking of the above probat Beyond the seas" Where do we place Joseph?
