No. 35
An Act to impower Mary Louttit Executrix of James Louttit de-
ceased to convey one undivided third Part of the Mill & Land
therein mentioned.
[A Private
Act.]
Whereas it appears to this General Assembly that James Louttit
late of Caecil County deceased died seized of one undivided third
Part of a Grist Mill and thirty seven Acres & one Quarter of an
Acre of Land more or less on Peats's Creek in Ccecil County as
Tenant in Common with George Milligen and Tobias Rudolph and
which same Mill & Land they purchased of John Edwards. That
the whole Personal Estate of the aforesaid James Louttit is not
sufficient to pay his Debts. That the said James Louttit had some
Time before his Death intended to dispose of his third Part of
the said Mill & Land; that near the Time of his Death he was re-
minded of his Intention on which he said he would by all Means
have it sold but that his Executrix could do that without its being
mentioned in the Will & very soon afterwards died without im-
powering his Executrix by his Will to sell his third Part of the
Mill & Land aforesaid wherefore and in Confidence that an Act
would be obtained to enable the said Executrix to convey the said
James Louttits third Part aforesaid the aforesaid Mary Louttit
after the Death of her said Husband did join with the aforesaid
George Milligen and Tobias Rudolph in a Contract and Agreement
for the Sale of the said Mill & Land to Nicholas Hassleback & there-
fore the said Mary Loutitt by her humble Petition to this General
Assembly hath prayed that an Act may pass to impower her to convey
the said James Louttits undivided third Part of the Mill & Land
aforesaid and that the Purchase Money may be applied to the Dis-
charge of her said Husbands Debts.
