cattle, horses, and sheep; and the sum of £ 13 6s. 6d, paper money of Maryland, in
plate, belonging to the complainants* late father, Amos Woodward; and the sum of
£2 15*. lid. in gold tea-spoons, belonging to the complainants' late father, as the
same were valued in his estate. And it is Ordered, that the white servants, cattle,
horses, and sheep, be valued by Thomas Worthington and John Bullen, of Anne
Arundel county, gentlemen; and that they value the same, as near as can be, of like
value with the white servants, horses, cattle and sheep that were appraised in the
estate of the complainants' father, Amos Woodward.

And it is further Decreed, that the said William Chapman pay unto the complain-
ants, out of the estate of Achsa Fottrell and Edward Fottrell, which have come to
his hands, interest at the rate of six pounds per cent, per annum on the sum of 431/2
pounds of tobacco, [1704, ch. 69, s. 1;] £51 15s. 3d 1/2. current money, in gold or
silver; £216 7s. 0 1/4d. sterling; and £377 19s. l0d. paper money of Maryland;
which is due to each child, exclusive of white servants, cattle, horses, sheep, plate,
and gold tea-spoons. It being thought reasonable, by this court, that no interest
should be paid for so much of the estate as consisted in white servants, cattle,
horses, sheep, plate, and gold tea-spoons, which are to be returned in specie to each
of the complainants, [1715, ch. 39, s. 11, 12,16, and 17,] from the 15th day of Feb-
ruary, in the year of our Lord 1741, till the same be paid to the complainants.
And, that so much as is decreed to be paid to the complainants Mary and Elizabeth,
who are arrived at the age of sixteen years, to be paid into their own hands, [1715,
ch, 89, s. 15;] and that so much as is decreed to be paid to the complainant Henry,
be paid to Edward Dorsey, his guardian; and that so much as is decreed to be paid
to the complainant Eleanor, be paid to John Ridgely, her guardian; and that the
said Edward Dorsey and John Ridgely respectively give security, at the next court
to be held for Anne Arundel county, to be approved of by the justices of the said
court, to pay such sums as they have, or shall receive of the said Chapman, to the
said Henry Woodward when he shall arrive at the age of twenty-one years; and to
the said Eleanor Woodward when she shall arrive at the age of sixteen years; and
that the complainants, or their guardians, give unto the said William Chapman good
security to return a rateable part of what they shall receive to satisfy any debt or
debts which shall hereafter appear to be due from the said Amos Woodward, with
the payment whereof the law will charge the said William Chapman as administra-
tor; and that the complainants pay two-thirds of the costs of this suit; and the said
William Chapman one-third part thereof. And it is further Ordered, that the said
William Chapman use his utmost endeavours to receive what debts are due to the
estate of the said Amos Woodward at this time; and that he render an account of
what he shall receive, upon oath, to this court, by the last day of November next.—
