Abstract
In 1860, Pleasant Stovall bequeathed to his son, George J. Stovall, fifteen shares of Georgia Rail Road stock and four slaves, in trust for his daughter, Louisa Shelman, and her children. George Stovall died on 21 July 1861 at the Battle of Manassas and in 1863 Pleasant Stovall died. Now Louisa and her children petition the court to appoint Louisa's husband, Charles T. Shelman, as trustee, stating "that in the management of negro property in times like the present it is peculiarly necessary that they should have proper care and attention and that this is more to be expected from the father and husband of your petitioners than from a stranger."
Result: Granted.
