    The State of Maryland Anne Arundel County to Wit
         I hereby Certify to all whom it doth or may concern that on an
Examination of the Records and Papers in the office of the Register of
Wills for Anne Arundel County it appears that the last will and
testament of Rezin Hammond late of the County aforesaid, deceased,
bearing date the tenth day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and Eight was proved and recorded in the said office on the
Eighteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and nineteen in Liber I G N.o 2 folio 469 and that the said
Rezin Hammond by his said Will among other things did devise and
direct that all the rest and remainder of his slaves should be liberated manumitted
and set free as soon as they should respectively arrive to the
age of thirty years and also the issue and increase of such slaves on
arriving to the age of thirty years should be liberated and set free
        And I do further Certify That it hath been proved by such Testimony
as is satisfactory to me that the Bearer hereof negro Charles Matthews
whose height is about five feet ten inches; whose age is about thirty six;
whose complexion is dark; and who as appears by the said Will and
Testimony became free some time in march in the year Eighteen
hundred and twenty Six is the identical person who was manumitted
or freed as aforesaid and that the said negro Charles Matthews was
raised in Anne Arundel County and has a scar over the left eye and
on the right ancle
                        In Testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name
    (Seal)           and affixed the seal of my office this sixteenth day of April
                        in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty
                        two
       Thomas T. Simmons Reg.r Wills A. A. County
