Petition #20683414

Abstract

Samuel T. Cook and George W. Cook are minor heirs of Samuel Cook, deceased. They state that their father bequeathed each of them a certain number of slaves. He devised eight slaves, worth $2400, to Samuel, and he willed four other slaves, worth $2700, to George, noting that George would receive the two slaves comprising the widow's life estate upon her death. The petitioners charge that their mother, Sarah E. Cook, has taken possession of their said slaves and that she is mismanaging their productivity. The minor Cooks therefore ask that Sarah E. Cook be relieved of her estate-related responsibilities or give security for the property.
