Vina James, a free woman of color, seeks permission to remain in Shelby County, Tennessee. She states that "she has with her under the age of fifteen years four children" and that "she is now comfortably situated among her friends." Believing "she can more easily provide a support for her family than by removing to another state," James "prays your worshipful Court to grant herself & her children" leave to reside in the state.
Result: Granted.
