They report that Hoggatt's estate, "appraised at the sum of $378,694.50, has been distributed and delivered to the legatees entitled thereto under the will."  In addition, they have paid "the specific legacies and debts" of said estate.  They therefore pray "that a reasonable allowance ... may be made to them."  An inventory of Hoggatt's estate listed 153 slaves with a value surpassing $123,500.</abstract><subjects><subject>Seniors (enslaved)</subject><subject>Crops (Cotton)</subject><subject>Assessed Value (enslaved)</subject><subject>Inventory (enslaved)</subject></subjects></petition>
