Hazleton at January Term 1850, entering into bond in the amount of $4,000 with S. S. Simmons & Joseph McClees who have since died and Henry McClees & William McClees his sureties. By virtue of said appointment the said guardian took into his possession about $2,000 in property which he has continued to retain, so far as the same has not been wasted or destroyed by him.

Orator prays a State's writ of subpoena be issued to Charles McClees guardian and Henry McClees & William McClees, executors of Joseph McClees, to appear at the next term of this court and answer this petition.

Transcriber's Notes:
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of Joshua White to Elizabeth Hazleton on 30 Oct 1848, Luther Babbitt security.
See the 1839 estate papers of Elias Liverman. He was the first husband of Elizabeth Hazelton whose maiden name was Elizabeth Cahoon.
The 1850 census of Tyrrell County shows Joshua White (44), Elizabeth White (9), Nancy White (4) and Joshua White (11 mo). The 1860 census of Pasquotank County shows Joshua J. White (54) and Nancy White (15). There are four marriage bonds for Joshua White in Tyrrell County; to Betsey Liverman on 7 Feb 1833; to Mary Alexander on 5 Mar 1835; to Elizabeth Hazelton on 30 Oct 1848; and to Mava Sikes on 3 Aug 1851. The 11 month old Joshua White in the 1850 census appears to be a son of his wife Elizabeth who must have died before the 1850 census was taken.
Docea Hazelton (7) and Elias Hazelton (5) are found in the family of Benj. F. Hazelton (44) in the Pitt County 1850 census.
