Benjamin Ingram of Lauderdale County, Alabama, represents that he "acts as Guardian for the children of Jesse Westmoreland Decd" and that his wards and their mother have moved from Tennessee and currently live in Alabama. He further reports that the said Westmoreland "left to his said children Seventeen or Eighteen negroes, which by the Laws of this State cannot be removed from it." Ingram therefore prays that "your Honorable body may pass an act allowing said Slaves to be removed" to Alabama where "sd negroes will be of much greater profit to said Children."
Result: Referred to committee of propositions and grievances: "unreasonable".
