That said John Dunkin, Sr., deceased, died siezed and possessed of certain real estate in said petition and hereinafter, and said real estate was equitably and by contract subject to the payment of said petitioner, John Dunkin's just claim for the support and maintenance of said Margaret Dunkin; and said petitioner prayed that said real estate might be sold and the proceeds or the necessary part thereof be applied to the compensating of said petitioner in the premises. On which petition such proceedings were had, that said court at the September Term thereof, AD 1845 being satisfied that said defendants had previously to the Term than last preceeding been legally notified of the pendency and prayer of said petition; and the minor defendants having by their guardian ad litem, answered said petition, and the adult defendants having failed to answer said petition, thereupon, at September Term AD 1845, of said Court, said petition was taken for confessed as against said adult defendants.

And at said September Term of said court, said freeholders made return to said court of an appraisement of said real estate, under oath, and said court having seen and inspected, approved said appraisement and thereupon at said September Term did order and decree that the Sheriff of said county, for the time being as special commissioner, should proceed to sell said real estate at the court house in West Union, on terms in said decree specified, first giving thirty days notice of said sale as in cases of real estate sold under execution, and not selling said real estate for less than two thirds of its appraised value. And afterwards, at the March Term of the said court, 1846, Fields Marlatt, late Sheriff of said county, reported to said court, that he had duly offered and exposed said real estate for sale as required by law and the order of the court, and that said John Dunkin, the petitioner, being the best bidder, became the purchaser of said real estate at $4.34 per acre, that being full two thirds of the appraised value of said real estate, and amounting to the sum of $558.23-1/4.
And said Court having seen and carefully examined said late Sheriff's report of sale of said real estate, and being satisfied that said sale had been fairly, regularly and legally made, did at said March Term 1846, approve and confirm said sale, and ordered that the present Sheriff of this County execute to said purchaser and his heirs, a deed of conveyance of and for said real estate which was bounded and described as follows, to wit:
