A. W. Hill asks to be appointed guardian of William, a seven-year-old mulatto freedman, until such time as the child is old enough to select his own guardian. Hill explains that William's mother "requested another freedwoman to care for the child" and this freedwoman requested that Hill become his guardian. Hill also claims that William's mother asked him to look after the boy "upon her deathbed."
