Sublett now the husband of the sd widow and proceeded to allot to Mrs. Sublett, late widow of John M. Haden dec'd her dower. They further proceeded to allot the negroes. The Negro woman Hannah had been sold by said Sublett so that she could not be had. Saml H. Haden was sworn and examined in the presence of Saml. D. Sublett and William Whitsitt, acting as agent for the guardian of the heirs of John M. Haden, and we are of the opinion that the said Negro was worth $500 and she is alloted to sd Mrs. Sublett as her dower of sd Negroes of the afsd. estate by the paying over to the guardian of the Haden heirs $66.66.
