Ennols Breeding requests permission to bring the slave Hannah from Sussex County, Delaware, into Caroline County, Maryland. Breeding married Elizabeth Stephens, daughter of the late John Stephens of Sussex County. Elizabeth's mother, administratrix of the estate, "not being able to pay your petitioners wifes dividend of her Fathers estate doth agree to let your petitioner have a negro woman named Hannah aged twenty six years ... to serve the term of seven years." Breeding therefore prays that an act be passed authorizing him "to remove the said negro woman Hannah from Sussex County State of Delaware to his place of Residence in Caroline County State of Maryland."
