Johnson explains that "her Father &amp; mother are both dead" and she and her older sister are "their only surviving Children."  The petitioner reports "that she is entitled to a small property inherited from the Grandmother of your Petitioner" that "consists of a Negro Girl &amp; some four or five hundred Dollars to be divided between your Petitioner &amp; her elder Sister."
