Margaret and Joseph Douglass, "minors under the age of twenty one years," ask that "their friend and relation Thomas H Douglass the elder may be appointed their guardian." The petitioners attest that they "are Seized and possessed in their own right of Certain personal estate in the District of York, and their interest requires that Guardians should be appointed to manage and Superintend the direction of their persons and estate." A related petition reveals that said "personal estate" consists of slaves.
Result: Granted.
