William and Sarah Roberts, and two other minor heirs of William Graddy, petition the court for a settlement of Graddy's large real and personal estate, which includes slaves. As administrator of the estate, Andrew Hampton refuses to settle the estate, keeping the profits and proceeds of the slave hiring for himself. When asked to divide the estate, Hampton sometimes states that the debts are high and all the estate property is needed to settle the debts; on other occasions, he claims that two of the daughters are illegitimate and therefore not entitled to a portion. The petitioners ask for an inventory of the estate.
Result: Granted.
