As trustee of the person and estate of lunatic Nathaniel Poynter, Charles Argoe explains that at Nathan Poynter's death, Nathaniel became entitled to a term slave Beniah, whom he sold for $125; he also arranged for Bennetta, a female term slave valued at $25 and Maria, a black slave child valued at $35, to be turned over to Nathan's widow. Argoe has settled most of the account and asks the court "to grant him an allowance thereof or such other relief as to this Court may Seem just and proper."
