possessed of other real and personal estate of very great value, on
the 10th day of September, 1826, made his last will and testament,
which is in these words:

"My father-in-law, the late Baruck Duckett, having devised Ms
dwelling plantation to me during life, and also the land called
Jeremiah and Mary, and the resurvey thereon, with power and
authority to me to designate any one or more of my children by
his daughter, and to devise it to them in fee, at my discretion; I
do devise the same to my sou, Walter Baruck Bowie, and my
daughter Kitty, their heirs and assigns forever, in the following
proportions, that is to say: to my daughter, Kitty Bowie, I give
and devise three hundred and fifty acres of my dwelling planta-
tion, to be laid off in convenient and proper form, at the corner of
my plantation, next adjoining the lands of my brother Walter and
Gabriel Davail, to her, her heirs and assigns, forever. And I give
and devise to my said daughter, her heirs and assigns forever one-
half of the lands which I own, and which were purchased * of
609 Robert Walters and —— Clark. I give and devise to my
son, Walter B. Bowie, his heirs and assigns forever, all the resi-
due of the lands devised as aforesaid by Baruck Duckett; except
ten acres purchased of Henry L. Hall; and all the residue of my
dwelling plantation, except the three hundred and fifty acres afore-
said; the same to be bounded by a line drawn from the corner of
Dr. Magill's land, to Young's northwest corner, running nearly as
the fence now stands, which is to be the dividing fence; subject,
however, to the restrictions and conditions hereinafter expressed.
I give and devise to my daughter. Eliza D. Bowie, her heirs and
assigns forever, all the land purchased of Mr. Contee, called Rane-
lagh. I give and devise to my son, William D. Bowie, his heirs
and assigns forever, ten acres of land purchased of Henry L. Hall.
I give and devise to my son, Walter B. Bowie, his heirs and as-
signs forever, twenty acres of land purchased of Mr. Ogle. I give
and devise to my beloved wife, for and during her natural life, the
remaining half of my lands, purchased of Walters and Clark; and
also all the remainder of the lands formerly Norwood's and Fal-
coner's, lying to the eastward of the line before mentioned drawn
from Dr. Magill's corner, to the corner of Mr. Young's land; and
after her decease, I give and devise the same to my son, Richard
D. Bowie, his heirs and assigns forever."

"It is my desire and will, that my wife and daughters, and her
son, shall have a home at my mansion house, until my son Walter
shall arrive to the age of twenty-one years; peaceably to be en-
joyed by them, without interruption or molestation of my son
Walter; and if he should make claim and disturb them in their
enjoyment of said home, then it is my will, and I do hereby declare
void and of no effect the devise to him hereinbefore made. And
