This is the Last Will and Testament  of Moses Orme of Prince Georges Co., Maryland. The last  is the proving of the will. This document was the original and was 12"x20", folded in half and written on 3 sides, so I could only scan half a page at a time. It can be seen at the Maryland Archive, Annapolis, Maryland. It's  in Box 1, folder 51, Prince Georges Co. Wills. It was written 19 Jun 1770  and proved 17 Dec 1772
