The petitioners, "descendants from Jane Gibson, a free Indian woman," claim they are being "holden in slavery" by Lewis Allen. They assert that most of Gibson's posterity "have obtained their freedom by judgments of different courts." Citing "that there is a great danger of their being removed out of the commonwealth by the said Allen," the Evanses pray "that they may be permitted to sue in forma pauperum." They note that "some of the same blood have been sold by the said Allen in the state of North Carolina."
Result: Granted.
