Description
Court appointed Commissioners Jackson Miller, Daniel Vineyard, and John Flannery assign dower to Nancy Martin, widow of Joseph Martin and file their report. "Nicholas (valued) at $1200.00, Kitty and her 2 children Mary and Joseph (valued) at $1200.00, Maria (valued) at $900.00, Benjamin (valued) at $450.00, Clara (valued) at $600.00, totaling $4350.00." Commissioners allot Kitty and her 2 children to Nancy Martin, the widow, for dower but cannot equally divide the value of the slaves leaving $250 still due to her. They recommend selling the remaining slaves to pay the widow the $250 owed to her.Date(s) of Creation
