| Abstract of Petition | As trustee of the person and estate of Nathaniel Pointer [Poynter], Charles Argoe explains that at Pointer's death, he received term slave Beniah, whom he sold for $125; he also arranged for another term slave, a woman valued at $25, and a black child valued at $35, to be turned over to his widow. Argoe has settled most of the account and asks the court to "grant him an allowance thereof or such other relief as to this Court may Seam just and proper." |
