Petition #21381826

Abstract

Daniel Keller joins his wife, Elizabeth, and her sister, Mary Wicker, in asking for a division of the estate of Henry Wicker, the sisters' father. Wicker died in 1805, leaving an "unimproved" tract of land and a slave named Jim. Since his death, the estate has been in the hands of John Owen, the executor of the will. The petitioners claim that Jim is of "a bad character and his life in other respects uncertain but who without any defraud on the purchase would sell well at the present high prices for slaves." They ask that Owen turn over the titles to the land and the slave so that the property can be sold and the proceeds equally divided between Elizabeth Keller and Mary Wicker.

Result: Granted.
