Abstract
Tabitha Williams pledged a male slave to secure a sum of money, and then empowered Morgan Williams to sell the slave to obtain the funds. Morgan Williams sold the slave "for a sum considerably greater" than the value of the debt. Now Morgan Williams has died. Tabitha states that she was able to settle her debt, but has not received the excess money from the sale, amounting to two hundred dollars. She asks that John Fluker, John Bowles and Sarah Williams, executors of Williams's estate, be forced to settle the account with her.
Result: Partially granted; appealed; appeal withdrawn.
