Fanny McNeill, widow of James McNeill of Halifax County, states that his property "was confiscated and sold by the Commissioner of Halifax district which said property your said Petitioner claimed the third part of." McNeill reports that she "has since drawn the money out of the hands of Commissioner," except for ₤270 "in the hands of Joseph Clinch of Nash County, it being the amount of the Sales of three negroes, for which the said Clinch as not yet paid." The petitioner therefore prays that "she may be permitted to receive her proportion."
