Elisha Moore, administrator of the estate of Elijah Moore, requests to sell five slaves--two adults and three children--as well as some personal property to pay the estate's debts and make distribution to heirs. Related documents reveal that Elisha's prayer is granted and that, at the sale, he purchases three of the five slaves. The documents also reveal that by 1858 Elisha Moore has departed this life and the three slaves he had purchased in 1855, as well as another one purchased by Mrs. Mahala Moore, are now in his estate. They are sold again.
Result: Granted.
