Note: according to documents handed down through the family:
"The early Lambersons spelled their names without the T. About 1790, Levi Lamberson (1751-1794) started using the T. His sons, John W. and Thomas, continued the practice.
Some of the Samuel Lamberson (1746-1806) family in Maryland use the T and some of this same family living in Indiana spell the name without the T. It can be spelled either way and still be of the same family."
Samuel Lamberson executed a will on 18 November 1766 at Worcester County, Maryland and died between then and December 31, 1766 (although some records state that he died in 1767) as his will was placed into probation on January 2, 1767.
In his will, which is on file in the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, Worcester Co., Wills Liber 3W #3, Samuel states that he is very sick and weak of body, yet sound of thought and memory and thanks God for calling to mind that all flesh must die. He then states, "I do hereby make my last will and testament that is to say, all of my earthly estate I give as followeth."
He gives to his "well beloved son, SAMUEL LAMBERTSON," fifty acres of land called "Pore Hall" and the privileges with all the rights and privileges thereunto belonging to him and his heirs lawfully begotten of his body." If SAMUEL, son of Samuel, was to die without issue then this 50 acres were to fall to Samuel's and Elizabeth's son, Smith and his heirs forever.
Secondly he gives and bequeaths to his son LEVI LAMBERTSON his plantation whereon he then lived, containing 53 acres of land with all the housing orchards, and privileges thereunto belonging excepting his wife's widowhood excepted it that the whole tract and privileges thereunto belonging and after his wife's death to LEVI and his heirs lawfully begotten by his body. If LEVI should offer to sell to any one else but his brothers, the land was to fall to Samuel's son Smith and his heirs and assigns forever.
Thirdly he gives to his son Smith one hand mill, one pot rack, one gun, one set of mill rings and wedges and one mare called "Pink" to him and his heirs and assigns forever.
Fourthly he gives to his daughter ELIZABETH LAMBERTSON one ewe and lamb to her and her heirs and assigns forever. He then states as to the rest of estate that is not yet mentioned after my lawful debts paid to be equally divided between my wife and six children that is to say, CASIAH, SINAH, SAMUEL, LEVI, & SMITH (notice it doesn't mention the daughter Elizabeth in the "six" children-an oversight on Samuel's part?).
He appoints JOHNATHAN WEST WATSON his sole excutor of his last will and testament. The will was witnessed by William Ellis, Patience Lambertson & Elisha Jones. On January b 31, 1767 Betty Lambertson (Betty is a nickname for Elizabeth), widow and relict of Samuel Lambertson signed a quit claim to her right of dower and agreed to the provisions of the will.
