<DIV>Actually, its likely this is not the original (as it states corrections are
handwritten) but a early draft or copy of the document. </DIV>

settle....and is likely now in the Maryland Archives. Copies of Wills were
frequently made for family members attending the reading. </DIV>

archives to salvage his signature (typically cut from the document), and then
proceeded to sell the Last Will & Testiment. </DIV>
