Abstract
William Robbins seeks to be confirmed testamentary executor of the late Betsey Sompayrac, a free woman of color, and tutor of her minor children. Robbins represents that Sompayrac died February 7, 1845, leaving considerable property, including slaves, and naming him executor of her will and tutor of her four minor children, Benjamin, Daniel, Stephen, and Sarah Ann. Robbins therefore seeks to be confirmed as executor and tutor. He also prays that a family meeting of relatives and friends be convened to deliberate on the children’s interests, and that an inventory and appraisement of the property be taken. Finally, he prays for the appointment of an "under Tutor."
Result: Granted.
