Volney Wheat states that his father Zachariah Wheat died leaving an estate that included slaves. One executor named in Wheat's will died, and the other refused the appointment. Volney Wheat was then named administrator of his father's estate. Since there are numerous heirs and a large number of slaves, Wheat prays that the slaves be sold and the proceeds be divided among the rightful heirs.
Result: Granted.
