STODART [Stoddert], JOHN, Charles Co. 6 May, 1767; 18 May, 1767
Desire to be buried by side of dec'd. wife in own burying grounds, without the least show of pomp or grandeur, more than the presence of a few neighbours, decently attending my corps to its place of interment, and there witnessing its being covered with clay, A glass of wine may be asked them to drink without any other expence. It is my desire that none of my children put themselves into a mourning dress for my death, as their concern for the loss of me may be equally the same without it and my estate. Debts to be paid.

Batchlor had a dau. intermarried with a certain Wm. Smith, by virtue of which intermarriage, sd. Smith became a tenant by the courtesee of England in sd, land, and no hrs. of Batchelor appearing, land afsd. after death of Smith, would have reverted to the Lord Proprietary, which Smith, in an humble petition to Lord Proprietary, 3 Apr, 1684, prays that he might purchase his Lordship's Right of Reversion, which for a valuable consideration pd. by Smith, his Lordship granted, as will more fully appear by his Lordship's answer to the Petitioner, 9 May, 1684. See Liber 6 B, Folio 84.

Trueman Stoddert, saving always hereby -to dauo-in-law Lucy Heabeard Stoddert, 1/3 pt. of 500 A., which I possessed son John Trueman Stoddert with, although it; were never confirmed to him, during her natural life.

To dau. Mary Truman Fendall, half pt, of tract I now live on called "Southampton Enlarged." The other half I have given to grandson Wm. Truman Stoddart, but In default. of such Issue, then land to sons Richard Truman Stoddert and Walter Truman Stoddert.
To dau, Marianne Truman Alexander, 300 A. on Rock Creek In Frederick County, pt. of tract called "Friendship", also all the land I have In Pomunkie Neck; In default of Issue, I give to son Kenhelm Truman Stoddert and hrs.
