Abstract
On 8 December 1835, Ransom Foulkes and Francis Marshall received the slave Tabby and her three children, Fanny, Richard and Edward, in trust for Harriet Hamblin "to have & enjoy the use & possession of the said slaves & the increase thereof ... & at her death to be equally divided between the children of the said Daniel H & Harriet Hamblin." Harriet died in 1840. By 1843, Tabby has given birth to two more children. Now Harriet's children and the trustees ask for authority to sell the slaves, since "it is impossible to divide the said slaves fairly equally & beneficially among the said children."
Result: Granted.
