Jones, "being desirous to bring the said family into this State again ... as well with a view to improve his lands here, as to gratify the said Slaves by settling them again amongst their relations who are also the property of your petitioner, prays that permission may be granted him to transport the said slaves, to wit, Adam, Fan & their four children Susan, Rose, Sol, and Harry into the State of Delaware."
