�In 1744 Arthur Cissell was a devisee under his father's will, to
receive "the plantation wheron he was then living, being part of
'Scotland' and also the land on the other side of the run next to Mr.
Woodward....Arthur Cissell was to have full power of possession all the
land the said above mentioned William Cecil (son of Arthur's deceased
brother John Cissell) and his mother possessed by the testator's will."�
Arthur was one of five children named as executor of said will.
�His last will and testament, dated November 5, 1737, was not admitted
to probate in St. Mary's County until 1750, by the oaths of George
Young, John Anderson, and Peter Mugg.
�He devised his two sons, John Cecill and James Cecill all right and
property claim and demand of what land my father William Cecill has
willed unto me equally between them, also all that tract of land known
by the name of 'Scotland' equally.� He named his wife Mary Cecill as
executrix.

court on November 8, same year, by Mary Cissell the widow and
executrix.� It was appraised at ?113/7/7 and among the items listed were
one violin and five pictures.� John Cissell and James Cissell signed the
inventory as the next of kin.

made in 1751, when ?129/11/8 were divided as follows:
