Elizabeth McLauchlin, executrix of the last will and testament of Daniel McLauchlin, asks to sell a slave named Fanny. She claims Fanny "is of an obstinate, Self Willed disposition and Cannot be Controlled." The petitioner asserts that "three of her [Fanny's] children were unfortunately burnt to death ... through her Carlessness and neglect, She having left home without permission at a late hour of the night and leaving said children alone in the House in which they were so burned to death." McLauchlin asks "permission to dispose of said Slave Fanny, either at public or private Sale or by Exchange for another."
