 Charles R Waters
  Bill of Sale to
David Burdett
 I Charles R Waters of Carroll County in the
State of Maryland in consideration of five hundred
dollars paid me by David Burdett of Howard
County in the state aforesaid do hereby bargain
                        and sell to the said David Burdett the following property to wit:
                        one negro man name David Warner aged about forty one years to
                        serve until the fourth day of April Eighteen hundred and sixty
                        three when he is to be free and discharged from all service and
                        servitude as will appear from by the bill of sale from William
                        Burdett to said Waters executed on the 7th day of October 1838
                        and Recorded among the chattle Records of Carroll County in
                        Liber J. B. B. No 4 folio 436 &c reference thereto being had will
                        more fully appear.  And Whereas on the 7th day of April 1859
                        the said Charles Waters filed in the Circuit Court for Carroll
                        County his petition for an extention of the time of the said David
                        Warner as such slave  Whereupon the Circuit Court passed the
                        following order To wit:  "The petition in this case is dismissed.  The court thinks
                        that the negro is not made a free man by the bill of sale exhibited
                        in this case that after his time of service expired with Waters Burdett
                        can claim him as his slave and the negro could not
                        resume his freedom upon the bill of sale.  Now it is declared
                        to be the true intent and meaning of this bill of sale that
                        the said Charles Waters conveyes all his right title and interest
                        claim and demand of the said David Warner as well under
                        and by virtue of the bill of sale from Burdett to him as
                        also any right title interest or claim that may accrue to
                        him hereafter under and by virtue of the aforegoing order
                        of the Circuit Court for Carroll County to David Burdett of
                        Howard County aforesaid his heirs and assigns for ever.  To have
                        and to Hold the said David Warner ^free^ clear and discharged from
                        all claims whatever of him the said Charles R Waters  his
