Note
In the copy of this Will, her name can be read as Leucheriscia or Sechrescia.  I believe that her name is actually Lucretia, and that it has been mangled over the years by the usual hearing-writing-reading treatment.

19 Mar.1811
Kent Co.: Md.: Deed: Winder Massey to & from Elijah Massey: March 19, 1811: Winder Massey of Baltimore, buys for $1.00 the 142 acre tract called Angel's Rest from his grandfather, Elijah Massey of Kent County in the State of Maryland, previously purchased by Elijah from Cornelius Vansant, deceased, who in turn had acquired the land from Jacob Gibson.  Ann Massey, mother of Winder, now resides on the same land.  Witnesses: Elijah Vansant and Cornelius Comegys; Ben Chambers is Kent County Clerk. [text added by GL,III,ed.] 3
15 July,1811
Kent Co.: Md.: Deed: Winder Massey to & from Benjamin Massey: July 15, 1811 (recorded August 15, 1811): Benjamin Massey, Esquire, of Kent County, buys for £710 the 142 acre tract called Angel's Rest from Winder Massey, gentleman of Baltimore County, who had bought the tract from his grandfather Elijah Massey.  Witnesses: Ephraim Vansant and Cornelius Comegys. [text added by GL,III,ed.] 1
22 Sept.1811
Kent Co.: Md.: Deed: Winder Massey to & from Benjamin Massey: September 22, 1811: Benjamin Massey, Esquire, in order to secure a debt of £710 owed to Winder Massey, gentleman of Baltimore, sells in a mortgage deed the 142 acre tract called Angel's Rest to Winder for $5.00, which sale becomes null and void if Benjamin makes payment of £355 on October 1, 1811 and another payment of £355 on October 1, 1812, plus legal interest.  In the meantime, Benjamin is free to occupy and use the land and premises as he wishes.  Winder Massey had previously obtained the land (on March 19, 1811) from his grandfather and sold it to Benjamin in an earlier transaction.  Witnesses: Kent County Justices of the Peace Ephraim Vansant and Cornelius Comegys; Ben Chambers is Kent County Clerk. [text added by GL,III,ed.] 2
3 Feb.1813
Kent Co.: Md.: Deed: Winder Massey to & from Benjamin Massey: February 3, 1813: Winder Massey of the city of Philadelphia transfers ownership of the 142 acre tract called Angel's Rest back to Benjamin Massey, having received timely repayment of the £710 debt plus legal interest owed by Benjamin to Winder.  Winder previously had been given the land by his grandfather (on March 19, 1811) and subsequently sold it to Benjamin. Witnesses: Kent County Justices of the Peace Jervis Spencer and Samuel Boyer; Ben Chambers is Kent County clerk. [text added by GL,III,ed.] 4
Note
Philip D. Laird wrote an informal genealogical article about the Winder family of Somerset Co., Md.  John Winder emigrated ca. 1650 to Maryland and became a Judge in Somerset Co.  A son, also named William Winder, b.ca. 1710, also became a Judge in Somerset Co.  A Massey-Winder family link is indicated, but I have not found it.
