Abstract
David Burton, Thomas Wright, and John Trail ask the legislature not to emancipate certain slaves named in the will of Lawson Thompson, their brother-in-law. The slaves were children, and Thompson's goal was to "gratify his ill will" toward the petitioners rather than to reward meritorious service by the slaves.
