Robert B. Colvin, administrator of the estate of William J. Colvin, deceased, requests to sell two slaves: seven-year-old Henry and nine-year-old Mary. Colvin informs the court that said slaves are all that remains of the estate's personal property, “which is subject to distribution." Noting that "said negroes cannot be equitably divided between those entitled," the petitioner prays that "an order may be duly granted and entered in the premises, authorizing a sale of said property."
