John Foxworth and his wife, Salina Britt Foxworth, seek a writ of partition of the estate of William Britt, Salina's late husband. The couple recently married "by means of which they became jointly entitled to the one third part of the said Estate of the said Wm. Britt," which includes land and nineteen slaves. Being "desirous of having and holding the portion to which they are entitled in severalty," they ask the court to divide the property among them and Salina's two minor children, William and Mary Britt.
Result: Granted.
