To the Hon the Probate Court of the County of Bradley.
Your petitioners, James Ricks, Elizabeth A. Ricks his wife, and Samuel Halley adm of the estate of Wm Duncan late of said county decd and guardian of Rufus Lees, represent to the Court that said estate consists among other property of the following named slaves to wit: Alsey a woman aged about 35 years, Ben a child of Alsey aged about 1 year, Daniel a man aged about 20 years, Lewis a boy aged about 12 years, Jack a boy aged about 10 years.

Ann Lees wife of Rufus Lees formerly Ann Duncan
William Duncan and Edward Duncan, grandchildren of Said Wm Duncan decd
And your petitioners further represent that said estate is solvent and able to pay all claims against it exclusive of said slaves.

In consideration whereof your petitioners pray the court to appoint commissioners to direct said slaves among the heirs aforesaid, and that a guardian ad litern may be appointed to represent & protect the interests of said William & Edward. /s/ James Ricks, Elizabeth A. Ricks, Samuel Holley.
Granted 10 Apr 1855
(MAD: Possibly William Duncan, b. ca 1783 NC, son of William Duncan d.1806 Duplin Co. NC; mar. bef. 1811 to Civil Kornegay, dau. of Isaac Kornegay; Duplin Co. NC through 1809, Craven Co. NC 1817-1831, Jones Co. NC 1809, 1829-1833; possibly 1840 Kemper Co. MS next to Abraham)
(JSD: William K. is a whole new ball game. He died in 1861 and left an extensive estate which included accounts payable and due to him. He was definitely (as definite as you can be!) the son of Joseph Duncan of Madison Co TN, and brother to George J. (I looked at the original power of attorney papers from Joseph Duncan to Lewis Duncan, and it was a "J" made in the old fashioned way that is easily confused with "T."), John M., Louisa, and Anne Civil/Sevel. Both the sisters died in TN, and then Wm K, George, and John appear in the AR census of 1850.)
(JSD: In the probate of the estate, there were expenses to NO and mention of a Conerly (who mar. a Duncan, I believe Jacob Duncan), and also the mention of "Ann Lees" who apparently was the sister of G.A., daughter of William, and somehow related to a Rufus Lee, I think this was her son. Also there was a mention that she lived in Rusk TX at that time.)
