When Miller Grieve was appointed trustee for Mrs. Eliza C. Murphy in 1852, her property, including three slaves, Lydia, Ann and Sally, was turned over to him. Grieve lists several transactions he has made while trustee, including the purchase and sale of three houses and several slaves. He says that he is now sixty-four and that he recently received a severe wound "by the bursting of a gun, Knocking out one eye, and injuring his head," so that he can no longer attend to the business of the trust. He says that the trust presently owns furniture, three slaves, Confederate money, and a house and lot in Atlanta. He asks that he be removed as trustee and that Eliza Murphy's husband, Dr. D. J. Murphy, be named to replace him.
