Abstract
Alcuin Eason, guardian of his half-sister, minor Ann L. Eason, asks the court to confirm the purchase of a slave named Horace and permission to purchase other slaves for the benefit of his ward. Ann owns Horace's wife, Eason explains, and when it was learned that the slave was about to be sent to North Carolina he made the purchase. Horace is "young & extremely valuable by reason of his good health, Sound condition, great Strength and many good qualities." The price of six hundred dollars "was at the time of purchase & is now a small sum for so valuable a Slave."
Result: Granted.
