Twenty-year-old William Wallace Gordon asks that he be allowed "to take charge of and manage his Estate." Gordon, "a permanent citizen of Gonzales County," states that his property consists "of some negroes & personal property." Noting that he has no living relatives, the petitioner purports to be "of good moral character judicious & prudent in his affairs." Gordon therefore prays that a law be passed "whereby he may be released from all the legal disability of minority."
Result: Referred to judiciary committee.
