"Samuel Coddington added to his will, which was dated April 27,1840 and probated January 9, 1844, the following: 'My black boy Nelson being likely to go blind from disease of the eyes, I do hereby make it obligatory on my daughters Ann and Sharlott to take care of and to provide for his health and comfort during their lives and if they should die before him it is my will and desire that the children of my daughters shall share and share alike in his support and maintenance during his life."....'Samuel Coddington also had a graveyard on his farm by Buffalo Run, where he and some of his family were buried. Recently the tombstones were taken up, thrown into the swamp and the ground plowed." This area now lies in Garrett County, but during Samuel's life his farm resided in Allegany County, Maryland.
