Jacob Killingsworth, once "a publick soldier in the defence and protection of his country at Charleston," represents that "the only negro he possessed" was "taken, tried and sentenced to be hung for burning a barn." Killingsworth confides that "he is poor, infirm and weak in body and on him alone, depends a large, young and helpless family for their support, maintenance and education." He therefore prays that he may be allowed "a compensation in money equal in value to the negro Frank."
