On September 21, 1859, Samuel Rixey and his wife Mary A. Rixey conveyed undivided interests in slaves and certain Platte County, Missouri, lands to Thomas C. Hammond and Richard H. Rixey, Mary’s children, as directed by a Circuit Court decree. This transaction stemmed from an earlier arrangement involving John H. Winston as trustee and involved property and slaves originally conveyed for the benefit of Mary’s children and future children with equal rights. The process acknowledged and lawfully recorded Mary’s agreement and relinquishment of her dower rights, ensuring fair inheritance for present and any future children.
