Benjamin Reed, executor of the late Jacob Reynolds, seeks a license to sell the unexpired terms of nineteen-year-old Richard and fourteen-year-old Mary. He states that the said Reynolds executed a deed of manumission for said slaves and that Richard and Mary are each "to be free at the age of thirty." Reed asserts that George Gillespie of Philadelphia is desirous to purchase the said slaves and Richard and Mary "are willing to be sold to him." He prays that he be allowed to carry out said slaves "from this state into the commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
