Description
Heirs* petition the Court to partition the slaves of their grandfather's estate located in Farquier County, Virginia. "…to wit, a girl named Maria, a boy named George, a boy named John, a girl named Puss, a girl named Fanny and a boy named Frank…" The Probate Court finds the slaves are not susceptible for division and orders the partition of the slaves equally amongst the heirs. The Probate Court orders the Sheriff of Platte County to sell the slaves at the Courthouse door in Platte City on the 1st Monday in July (1854) for cash in hand. *Lemuel T. Oliver, Granville J.
