Petition #11685008

Abstract

John N. Land died intestate. On behalf of his widow, Clara, and children, Mary E. and John Robert, the administrator of his estate and guardian of his children, James A. Temple, asks the legislature to sell 485 acres, a tavern, and various buildings, worth about $6,000, rather than his fourteen slaves. The sale is needed to pay off debts. His wards would greatly benefit if they could keep the slaves.

Result: Referred to committee for courts of justice.
