Description
Elizabeth Wilkerson, Guardian, petitions the Probate Court to sell "…a certain Negro boy named Adam…being aged about 8 year; (that the sale) is necessary for the education of said minor (heirs of Wilkinson) and that the proceeds of the sale would be more beneficial than the boy himself..." "That the Court has made an order for the sale of the mother of said boy and that they would sell together much better than separate." Probate Court authorizes the Guardian to sell Adam at private contract and make report to the Court.Date(s) of Creation
