Benjamin Harrison Fitzpatrick, administrator of the estate of Bird Fitzpatrick, deceased, asks to sell the estate's personal property in order to pay debts and distribute proceeds among heirs. With the emancipation of slaves, it is not possible to keep the plantation going, Benjamin explains; he asks to sell the horses, mules, corn, fodder, hogs, cattle, blacksmith tools, farming utensils, a cotton gin, and other property. In January 1866, the estate sold for $2,242.
Result: Granted.
