Henry Dillahunty was "appointed administrator of all and singular the goods and chattels rights and credits of one John B. Dillahunty." The deceased left three children -- Samuel, Elizabeth, and John -- who are all under the age of fourteen. Henry asks permission, on behalf of these minor heirs, to sell portions of land in the estate, citing that "it would be more advantageous to the Heirs of the said deceasant to sell the real than the personal estate of said intestate as the same cannot be fairly and beneficially divided." In the year 1840, Dillahunty had hired seven slaves from the estate of W. T. Rucker.
