| Abstract of Petition | As directed by the last will and testament of his late father, Richard Trippe, William James Trippe acted as trustee for his brother, Nicholas Hammond Trippe, from 1846 to1857, hiring out the three slaves devised to Nicholas from their father's estate and paying Nicholas the proceeds of said hire. Wishing to leave Maryland, Nicholas borrowed $1,876.32 from William, a sum he cannot repay without selling the slaves. William wishes to buy the slaves, believing that his father wished for them to "so remain in the family. He asks the court to appoint another trustee, to empower the trustee to sell the slaves to William at private sale, and to order the trustee to repay him the amount he advanced to Nicholas. |
