Petition #11681415

Abstract

Patrick Michie, the executor of the estate of the late John Bourn, seeks to free two of Brown's long-time, faithful slaves, as stipulated in his will. According to Michie, the late Bourn "was remarkably attached" to the two men. Michie explains, however, that the two slaves, James Barrett and Ludowick Muckleton, do not wish to leave Virginia--"they appear unwilling to accept emancipation on the terms of exile." Michie therefore asks that James and Ludowick be freed and allowed to remain in Virginia.
