Sally Williams is "desirous to manumit" her daughter Jane. Williams recently purchased Jane from Alexander Miller. She reports that she "contracted to purchase her said daughter for the sum of one hundred & fifty Dollars." Having paid the money to a man "in whose family your Petitioner lived for many years," Williams received title to Jane. She prays the court "will pass such order to that effect & for the residence of her daughter in this state as is required."
