Edward Mann and wife, Samuel Robbins Dolly Robbins Thomas Robbins John Robbins Benjn. Daniel and wife Patsy, Christina Robbins Mary Robbins Eliza Robbins Eliza Robbins Joseph Robbins & William Robbins, eleven in number and it is therefore impracticable for petitioner to make distribution of said negroes as required by law without sale being first made, and then of the proceeds arising therefrom. Petitioner therefore prays your order.
Transcriber's Notes:
Census records and the 1860 will of John M. Rollins make it apparent that this is the estate of Joseph Rollins, not Joseph Robbins. The surname Rollins is used in indexing.
The 1860 will of John M. Rollins identifies Sarah Rollins as the wife of Edward Mann and Mary M. Cudworth as his sister and John Cudworth as his brother in law.
The 1850 census of Tyrrell County shows the household of Edward Mann Senr. (51) with Sarah Mann (49), Harriet R. Mann (25), Spencer D. Mann (21), William W. Mann (18), Thomas R. Mann (17), Sarah M. Mann (15), Eliza F. Mann & Samuel E. Mann (12).
The 1850 census of Tyrrell County shows the household of Benjamin Daniel (52) with Martha Daniel (45), Christian Daniel (18), Sarah Daniel (16), Mary Daniel (14), Dorcas Daniel (12), Elizabeth Daniel (8), Easter Daniel (5) & Tamor Daniel (1).
The 1850 census of Tyrrell County shows the household of John Cudworth (32) with Mary Cudworth (32) and John Cudworth (8). Find a Grave shows Mary Cudworth, born 1817, died 31 Dec 1881 in the Cudworth Cemetery in Wanchese, Dare County. Her husband was John Hamilton Cudworth.
The 1850 census of Hyde County shows the household of William A. Rollins (35) with Mary Rollins (27), Angeline Rollins (4) & Jane Gibbs (43).
Find a Grave reveals that Angilico Midyett was the wife of Joseph Rollins. She died 19 Feb 1827 and is buried in the Mann Cemetery, Mann's Harbor, Dare County. Joseph Rollins is in the same cemetery and died 17 Feb 1830. There is an 1815 marriage bond for Angelico Midyett to Thomas Maddun, so it is possible that she was a second wife of Joseph Rollins.
Dollie Rollins appears to be Dorothy Rollins, wife of David Basnight who died at age 40. Find a Grave says she died in 1815, but I believe it to be 1845 since she was 40 at death.
