Petition #21384907

Abstract

James F. Harrington, "the committee of James Alexander Pope, a Lunatic," seeks authorization to sell six of the slaves belonging to the said Pope. Harrington explains that "the estate of the said Lunatic consists of seven slaves ... corn, fodder, household and kitchen furniture" and sundry livestock. Citing that Pope "has a wife but no children," Harrington believes "it would be advantageous to the estate to sell all the property except the negro girl Isabel and that she should be retained to wait on her mistress." He prays that "this court shall see fit to order" said sale.
