Elizabeth Larry, a free person of color, asks to remain in Shelby County, Tennessee. She states "that she has resided in the county of Shelby for several years" and that "her age and description were registered at the County Court in Bedford ... at the April Term 1820." Noting that all her family and friends are here, Larry "most respectfully petitions your worships that the priviledgs of the act of Assemby passed at Nashvill 4th Februry 1842 be extended to her" and her daughter.
