theCounty of Cumberland, died possessed of certain personal property, that the 
deceased left a wife and divers children Viz., Ezekial, Michael, Henry James, 
Joseph, Mary Ann, Barbara, Sarah, Elizabeth Ann and Eliza. That the said Henry

will) leaving his wife Barbara as his Executrix and his son Henry James 
Executor which will has been legally committed to probate and the aforesaid 
Executrix and Executor having in accordance thereto qualified to the same, and 
that the Testator bequethed certian specific legacies to his wife Barbara. and 
among other things two negros called and known by the name of Taff and Chany, 
to be held and enjoyed during her natural life and after the determination 
thereof to be equally divided between his four youngest daughters, Barbara, 
Sarah, Elizabeth Ann, Eliza, as appears by the will which your petitioners 
pray may be taken as a part of their petition.
That Barbara the wife of the Testator died about the 1st of May in the year 
1828 and that the said negros Taff & Chany had been hired out at the death of 
the said Executrix by the Executor Henry James King and that your petitioners 
have not recieved any part of shares of the hire of said negros, but that the 
proceeds thereof is still in the hands of said Executor.
And your petitioners further showith to your worships that in the year 1820 he 
intermarried with Barbara of the before mentioned youngest daughters of the 
Testator.  your Petitioners further showith that the said Executor Henry James 
King is a resident of another state, whereby his attention to the estate and 
proper management of the property is rendered uncertain, and without a due 
regard for the interest of said estate and to the injury of these your 
petitioners-
They therefore humbly pray your Worships to grant these your petitioners an 
order of sale of said negros Taff and Chany to the end that an equal division 
may be made of them between the afforsaid four youngest daughters agreeable to 
the manifest intention of the said Testator.  And that such other proceedings 
may be had as your worships may deem proper and right requiring said Executor 
to render unto your petitioners their due proportion of their distributive 
share bequethed them by the Testator and your petitioners as in duty bound 
will ever pray.
