Keley Fisher, an elderly and infirm woman of color, states that her husband, Abram Fisher, deceased, bequeathed to her all of his real estate, which included a "Frame house and lot." The petitioner complains that her son, Thomas Fisher, fraudulently convinced her to convey the house and lot to Zephaniah Jones for $400. In return, Thomas Fisher promised to support the petitioner. Jones later conveyed the house and lot to John Harkness, who now rents it out. Fisher asserts that her son has neglected to provide any support for her and has refused to give her a share of the proceeds from the sale of the property. The petitioner requests that the deed of conveyance be canceled.
