Petition #11482203

Abstract

Elizabeth Saunders, widow of Edward Saunders, seeks permission to sell land rather than slaves to settle the debts of the estate. She represents that the estate's "personal property consists mostly in young Negros belonging to families, which your memorialist would wish not to seperate, and knowing that land enough may be sold to satisfy the debts."
