Henry Brice serves as the guardian of Thomas and John Carroll whose personal estate includes "divers negroes men women and children." Brice has hired out the male slaves in the estate, but he claims that he "knows no occupation for the women nor means to support the Children." Brice believes that said slaves "are an incumbrance and will if retained involve his wards in much expense and materially lessen their income hardly now sufficient for their reasonable maintenance." He therefore prays that he be "permitted to make sale of said women and children."
