The children and legal representatives of the late Robert Boone pray that the court authorize the estate executors "to dispose of the negroes" left in the estate "at private sale" in order "to prevent said negroes being sold to traders or out of the state of Maryland." They decry that a public sale would be "exceedingly painful to our feelings" and "was never contemplated by our most respected departed and much lamented parent."
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
