Gaspar Sinclair seeks to emancipate James and Franky, husband and wife, as "they have been to him the Kindest and best friends in his sickly and solatary course through this life." Sinclair also wishes to give them the use of land for life and "as much personal property as will be equal to all their wishes." He also proposes giving his property to a poor infant orphan "now in the care of your petitioner and these black friends, by the name of Ann Maria Eliza Stephens."
