Mary, Lydia, and Eleanor Warfield ask to receive, respectively, one-fourth parts of the profits from a sale of tobacco from the estate of their father, the late William Warfield. The sisters explain that they "for mutual convenience and family arrangement cultivated the Lands Jointly with their negroes."
