Petition #20583003

Abstract

Robert and Maria Delony ask that Maria's inheritance, currently held by her mother, Margaret Baird Miller, be released and that the said Margaret be required to give an account of the estate. The plaintiffs submit that Maria's father, the late James Baird, left several slaves and other property to his wife and two daughters. As the daughters were minors, the property was managed by Baird's widow, Margaret. Margaret Baird subsequently married Robert Miller, who assumed control of James Baird's estate. The Delonys claim a right to two-thirds of the estate due to the death of Ann Elizabeth O'Neal, Maria's sister.
