Petition #21678907

Abstract

John Moore, executor of the estate of the late Joseph Moore, explains that Joseph was the guardian of James Moore whose estate "consisting in negro slaves, of whom the greater part were breeding women & small children, so that the expences of those far exceeded the profits of the labour of the others." The petitioner further explains that he "was by this worshipful Court appointed Guardian of the sd. James Moore." Citing that James is currently indebted to him "by reason of his board, schooling & maintenance & the expences of his sd Slaves over & beyond the profits thereof," Moore "prays a decree for the sale of such of the sd. negro slaves as may be most convenient to the interest of the sd. James & sufficient to satisfy the sd. debt."
