Thomas Parker and David Snodgrass state that Joseph Duncan died several years ago. Joseph's will directed "that his negro man named Garrard who is now called & known by the name Jarrett Duncan should be manumitted after sd. Testator's death, and that sd. negro man should in consideration thereof pay to sd. Testator's Executors the sum of two hundred dollars for the benefit of the legatees." The petitioners state that Garrard has not paid the two hundred dollars and they suspect he is planning to move to Ohio. The petitioners ask for a decree to have Garrard hired out until the debt is paid and seek an injunction to prevent him from leaving the state.
