Description
Elizabeth Wilkerson, Guardian of the heirs of Hall L. Wilkerson, petitions the Probate Court to sell "…a certain Negro woman slave named Milly aged about 43 years; that she is insolent and unmanageable; That she is hostile in her disposition and has become almost valueless to the wards on account of her insubordination; that she affords no income to said wards but rather a burden or expense; that although healthy, she often feigns sickness and ill health and that if the said Negro is sold the proceeds of said sale will be more advantageous to the wards." Probate Court orders Milly to be sold at private contract.Date(s) of Creation
