Seventeen-year-old Jane Rainey Crosson and fourteen-year-old Lavinia Caroline Crosson ask that "their Uncle Alexander Dickey who was brother to their deceased mother, and who lives in this State and with whom your Petitioners now reside, may be appointed Guardian of their persons and estates respectively."
