Henry Briggs, guardian of the minor son of the late Richard P. Briggs, seeks permission to sell an estate slave named Joe who was "tried on the charge of being engaged in the late insurrection." Though acquitted of any involvement in the Nat Turner revolt, the petitioner believes it would be in his ward's best interest to have Joe "sold out of the neighborhood."
Result: Granted.
