John Harrison Sr. petitions the court to become the guardian of a minor named John Harrison. Harrison Sr. represents that John and his sister Mary are orphans, who are possessed of eleven slaves and $500. The children inherited ten of said slaves from the estate of their maternal grandfather, Robert Edmunds, and received one from Harrison Sr. himself. The petitioner is in possession of said slaves, and the money is in the hands of Ann V. Edmunds, Howell H. Edmunds, and Nicholas W. Edmunds. The related commissioner's report reveals that John Harrison Sr. is the children's paternal grandfather.
