606 ADDISON v. BOWIE.

is my will, that the crops made at the Quarter, except pain, for
the use of the family, be sold, and the money arising therefrom,
after the payment of all expenses, be a common fund for the sup-
port of all the children of William Bowie, of Walter, by his present
wife Kitty, until my grandson, William D. Bowie, shall arrive at
the age of twenty-one, or day of marriage, when he will hereby
have a right to receive every tiling I have devised and bequeathed
to him. I give and bequeath to my grandson, William D. Bowie,
all the money, bonds and notes, of which I shall die possessed,
after my just debts and funeral charges are paid. If his father
should think it advisable to lay it out in land for him, should any
be offered convenient to my Quarter Plantation, I give him, by this
my will, power to do so. In case William Bowie, of Walter,
should die before my grandson, William D. Bowie, shall arrive at
the age of twenty-one, or day of marriage, my will and desire is,
that my brother, Isaac Duckett, take his part of my estate into his
possession, for the use and benefit of my said grandson. And
lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint William Bonne to be sole
executor, of this, my last will and testament.'

The bill further states, that afterwards, Baruck Duckett died,
that this, his will, was, on the 9th of October, 1810, proved ac-
cording to law; and that immediately thereupon, William Bowie,
of Walter, entered upon the real estate so devised to him, and con-
tinued to hold the same until his death; who, being also seized
and possessed of other real and personal estate of very great value,
on the 10th day of September, 1826, made his last will and testa-
ment, which is in these words.

'My father-in-law, the late Baruck Duckett, having devised his
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 son Walter Baruck Bowie, and my
daughter Kitty, their heirs and assigns for ever, 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 plantation,
to be laid off in convenient and proper form, at the comer of my
plantation, next adjoining the lands of my brother Walter and
Gabriel Duvall, to her, her heirs and assigns, for ever. And I
give and devise to my said daughter, her heirs and assigns for
ever, one-half of the lands which I own, and which were purchased
