Pg.404-6: Elizabeth Duncan by her next friend Noah L. Chapman vs. Samuel Shealy & William Mints?, Admr, et al. In this case the following order was made "that it be referred to the commission to inquire and report upon the propriety of setting to her sole and separate use the share of the complainant in the estate of the intestate David Shealy, the probable amount of her share of said estate, the appointment of a suitable person to be her trustee with a scheme of settlement and that her? haid? hair? to report any special matters." Under the above order I have made the inquiries therein directed. Michael Duncan is the husband of the complainant. Since two years ago he has abandoned his wife and only returned to her recently. The witnesses? say? he is not a fit and proper person to make? the share of his wife in the estate of her father. He by his answer in this case consents to this arrangement. Her share in the personal and real estate of her father is in the prop? about $1,700?. Mr. Samuel Shealy who is the brother of the complainant I find to be a fit and proper person to be appointed her trustee. It appears also that at the sale of the personal estate of David Shealy, Mr. Samuel Shealy at the request of the complainant purchased for her two negro girls, Mahia (Malia?) Ann and Sally at the aggregate price of $1205. ... I would suggest therefore that the share of the complainant in the estate of her father both real and personal be settled upon her for her sole and separate use and not liable in any manner for the debts contracted ... of her husband the said Michael Duncan or any future husband she might have; that this settlement before and during the term of her natural life and after her death to any child or children or their issue which may at that time be living, but if no child or children or their issue be living at the time of her death, then to dispose of the same by deed or will in such manner as she may think proper ... and in default of such deed or will, then to her heirs at law and next of kin excluding the said Michael Duncan. I would also nominate the said Samuel Shealy be appointed her trustee ... June term, 1857, /s/ Henry A. Neut?.
Pg.410-12: Elizabeth Duncan by her next friend Noah L. Chapman vs. Samuel Shealy & William Mints (Merets? or Mouts?), Admr, et al. Among other things in this case the matters of account of the administrators of David Shealy Senr. decd are referred to the commissioner. The same have been taken before me and after giving credit for all property? made by the administrators as well as deducting all commissions due them, their remains in their hands a next? balance of $9,952.13 which is divisible between and among the widow of the said David Shealy Senr. decd. and four children, of which the widow is entitled to $3,317.37 and each child to $1,658.69. ... Report of final accounting, income from sale bill and other items, $10,343.33; payments for expenses. Four children never named. (No date given)

Duncan or any future husband for and during her natural lifetime and after her death that the same vest in such child or children as she may then have, the issue of any deceased child or children taking among them the portion which the parent or parents would have received if living, but if the said Elizabeth Duncan shall leave no child or children or their issue living at the time of her death, then that her said share be disposed of in such manner and form and be vested in such person or persons as she may by deed or last will and testament notwithstanding her coverture direct and appoint, and in default of such deed or will, that her said share vest in her heirs at law and next of kin excluding the said Michael W. Duncan. It is further ordered that the said Samuel Shealy be appointed the trustee of the said Elizabeth Duncan upon his entering into bond with two or more good sureties in the penal sum of $4,000, ...
