Thomas M. and Mary Ann C. Offutt ask the court to require Ann M. Fisher, guardian of Mary Ann and other Fisher heirs, to give an account of the heirs' holdings. They cite that Artaxerxes Fisher died, leaving his estate to his wife Ann M. and their five children, including Mary Ann C. Offutt. The estate has not been distributed to the heirs, and the plaintiffs state that Ann M. Fisher has not provided an "account as guardian." They further charge that she has obtained money from the sale of certain portions of the estate, which includes land and slaves, but has not divided the proceeds among the heirs. The Offutts hope "that your Honours will order and decree a sale thereof and the proceeds thereof distributed" to the rightful heirs.
Result: Dismissed.
