Abstract
Betsy Redman of Fayette County, Kentucky, seeks to nullify the will of Thomas Wright, who left his six slaves to the New Garden Friends Meeting of Guilford County, and gave his other property to the slaves following his wife's death. Redman, claiming to the next-of-kin, charges that the Society of Friends is "not a body politic in law, nor as she is advised capable by that or any other name to take or hold property." The slaves should therefore go to her as Wright's next of kin.
Result: Dismissed.
