1836: Sarah Ann & Henry Stemmons' Guardian petitions; Will of Micajah Glasscock
Chapter 166. AN ACT for the benefit of Sarah Ann, and Henry Stemmons.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, That it shall be lawful for Sarah Ann and Henry Stemmons, by their guardian, to apply to the Nelson circuit court, by petition, in which they shall set forth the condition and probable value of their undivided interest in a tract of land which they own by the will of Micajah Glasscock, their grandfather, and to ask of said court to decree a sale of the same, which petition shall be verified by the oath of the guardian.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That the said court shall appoint two housekeepers, who shall report, on oath, the value of said interest, and their opinion whether a sale of the interest of said Sarah and Henry, in said tract of land, would be to the interest of said infants; and if the court shall be satisfied that such a sale would redound to the interest of the petitioners, a decree shall be rendered, directing the sale to be made by commissioner, and the conveyance to be made, upon such terms, and on such credit, it will best promote the interests of the infants; and the court shall require from the guardian, before he shall be paid the proceeds of the sale, bond and good security that he will pay over, and faithfully account to his wards, the amount of money, and interest on same, whenever legally required to do so.
Approved February 12, 1836.
