William L. Lewis seeks permission to bring into Virginia four slaves that had belonged to his new wife, the former "Miss An Dunnington" of Maryland. Lewis had filed a petition one year earlier in December 1808 with the same prayer. In that petition, he had assured the legislature that he would use the slaves himself and did not wish "to part with them on any terms whatever."
Result: Referred to committee.
