His will was probated March 26, 1734, naming his daughter, Mary Brooke; his daughter Elizabeth Skinner; and his two younger daughters Sarah and Eliner Greenfield. He did not name his wife, but stated he had "made a deed in trust to wife and her two sons, designed to be in full of all their claims to his estate." The executors were Col. Leonard Hollyday and Henry Skinner. (Maryland Calendar of Wills, Vol. VII, Page 71).
