Of Cecil county, with reference to the
estate Of James Paul Heath, whose will
was executed on September 8,

Efforts have been taken from time to
time, during the FIRST half Of this century

but no legal steps have ever been taken
TO bring the matter TO issue in the sourts
OF Cecil county. There are eleven claim
ants to the property, ali members of the
Bordley family, formerly Of Wye Island,
Talbot county, Md. more recently Of
Baltimore. They claim to be direct
lineRl descendants of James Paul Heath
and intend to prosecute the matter when
the machinery OF the law can be opsr-
ated.
This latest msve is said to have been
caused by a dream which one of the
women members Of the Bordley family
had regarding the will OF her distin-
guished ancestor, which led her to visit
