That on the __ day of __, 1860 the widow of said testator departed this life and proceedings were instituted in this honorable Court and all the personal estate of said testator left on hand was sold and the proceeds thereby divided among those entitled thereto by law and all advancements made to each child accounted for and left only the real estate of said testator to be equally divided between his children and their issue. The widow of said testator left surviving him at her death and children of testator Mary Ann White wife of Adam White formerly Mary Ann Andrews, William V Andrews, Lucy B Floyd, wife of Drury Floyd, Robert D.

They say that said lands have to be cut up into six different tracts of land if the same were partitioned only among the children of said testator but were the same divided among the grandchildren the minor dependents to cut that would greatly damage the interest of all concerned. ... They are of the opinion that in the event of a sale it would be to the interest of all concerned to divide said land into three parcels before selling the same and make three separate tracts therein.

...Jones Andrews, being a resident of said county, departed this life, having first made and published his last will and testament which after his death was duly presented and recorded in and upon this county a copy of said will marked Exhibit (A) and is herewith filed and made a part of this bill. ...the whole of his property real and personal was bequeathed to his wife for life with power in her from time to time to make advancements to his children, not excluding a child's interest in his estate and at her death, the whole of said property, real and personal then remaining on hand will be equally divided between his children, share and share alike. That on the __ day of __, 1860 the widow of said testator departed this life and proceedings were instituted in this honorable Court and all the personal estate of said testator left on hand was sold and the proceeds thereby divided among those entitled thereto by law and all advancements made to each child accounted for and left only the real estate of said testator to be equally divided between his children and their issue. The widow of said testator left surviving him at her death and children of testator Mary Ann White wife of Adam White formerly Mary Ann Andrews, William V Andrews, Lucy B Floyd, wife of Drury Floyd, Robert D.

They say however that the same is so situated that partition thereof cannot be made among the owners thereof in the manner now pointed out by law without a sale and that it is manifestly for the interest of all such owners and more particularly of said minor dependents that said lands to sued for partition. They say that said lands have to be cut up into six different tracts of land if the same were partitioned only among the children of said testator but were the same divided among the grandchildren the minor dependents to cut that would greatly damage the interest of all concerned. ... They are of the opinion that in the event of a sale it would be to the interest of all concerned to divide said land into three parcels before selling the same and make three separate tracts therein.

To the honorable Robert S. Ballou Judge dwelling the County Court for the County of Williamson
...Jones Andrews, being a resident of said county, departed this life, having first made and published his last will and testament which after his death was duly presented and recorded in and upon this county a copy of said will marked Exhibit (A) and is herewith filed and made a part of this bill. ...the whole of his property real and personal was bequeathed to his wife for life with power in her from time to time to make advancements to his children, not excluding a child's interest in his estate and at her death, the whole of said property, real and personal then remaining on hand will be equally divided between his children, share and share alike. That on the __ day of __, 1860 the widow of said testator departed this life and proceedings were instituted in this honorable Court and all the personal estate of said testator left on hand was sold and the proceeds thereby divided among those entitled thereto by law and all advancements made to each child accounted for and left only the real estate of said testator to be equally divided between his children and their issue. The widow of said testator left surviving him at her death and children of testator Mary Ann White wife of Adam White formerly Mary Ann Andrews, William V Andrews, Lucy B Floyd, wife of Drury Floyd, Robert D. Andrews, Newton L. Andrews, and Horace G. Andrews, Sen. Since the death of said widow of testator and after the distribution of the personal estate and the settlement of the advancements oc On the ____ day of _________ 18__, Newton L. Andrews departed this life intestate leaving surviving him his widow the defendant America M Andrews and his children and heirs at law and next of kin the minor dependents Lucy Andrews, Bettie Andrews, Mary Andrews, Sallie Andrews, and Samuel J Andrews who have no general custodian. ...after the death of said widow, and after said distributions, Horace G Andrews departed this life intestate, leaving surviving him his widow and dependent Margaret E.

They say however that the same is so situated that partition thereof cannot be made among the owners thereof in the manner now pointed out by law without a sale and that it is manifestly for the interest of all such owners and more particularly of said minor dependents that said lands to sued for partition. They say that said lands have to be cut up into six different tracts of land if the same were partitioned only among the children of said testator but were the same divided among the grandchildren the minor dependents to cut that would greatly damage the interest of all concerned. ... They are of the opinion that in the event of a sale it would be to the interest of all concerned to divide said land into three parcels before selling the same and make three separate tracts therein.

To the honorable Robert S. Ballou Judge dwelling the County Court for the County of Williamson
...Jones Andrews, being a resident of said county, departed this life, having first made and published his last will and testament which after his death was duly presented and recorded in and upon this county a copy of said will marked Exhibit (A) and is herewith filed and made a part of this bill. ...the whole of his property real and personal was bequeathed to his wife for life with power in her from time to time to make advancements to his children, not excluding a child's interest in his estate and at her death, the whole of said property, real and personal then remaining on hand will be equally divided between his children, share and share alike. That on the __ day of __, 1860 the widow of said testator departed this life and proceedings were instituted in this honorable Court and all the personal estate of said testator left on hand was sold and the proceeds thereby divided among those entitled thereto by law and all advancements made to each child accounted for and left only the real estate of said testator to be equally divided between his children and their issue. The widow of said testator left surviving him at her death and children of testator Mary Ann White wife of Adam White formerly Mary Ann Andrews, William V Andrews, Lucy B Floyd, wife of Drury Floyd, Robert D.

Since the death of said widow of testator and after the distribution of the personal estate and the settlement of the advancements oc On the ____ day of _________ 18__, Newton L.

They say however that the same is so situated that partition thereof cannot be made among the owners thereof in the manner now pointed out by law without a sale and that it is manifestly for the interest of all such owners and more particularly of said minor dependents that said lands to sued for partition. They say that said lands have to be cut up into six different tracts of land if the same were partitioned only among the children of said testator but were the same divided among the grandchildren the minor dependents to cut that would greatly damage the interest of all concerned. ... They are of the opinion that in the event of a sale it would be to the interest of all concerned to divide said land into three parcels before selling the same and make three separate tracts therein.
