Petition of Charles F. Rough and Rebecca his wife, Alfred B. McRary & Sarah Jane his wife and Franklin Haden, William Haden, and James Haden, minors, by their Guardian Meshack Pinxton. William Haden had died about 1834 or 1835; he had two tracts of land on the waters of Swearing Creek, adjoining lands of John Miller, James Ellis, James Wiseman & others. One tract of 108 acres, the other of 186 acres, which by Will was to be divided equally among your petitioners at the death of his widow and when his eldest daughter, your Petitioner Rebecca Hough, reached full age. The widow of William Haden died intestate shortly after her husband, within a year. Rebecca has intermarried with Charles F. Rough. Sarah Jane has intermarried with Alfred B. McRary. Rebecca is now about 20 years of age. Waiting another 12 months to sell the lands would cause injury to all concerned . Said land cannot be divided satisfactorily. It was the intention of the Testator that each of the petitioners should have full benefit of the devise to them as soon as they had need. Sale would promote the interest of all.
