Document #1: To the Honorable the Judge of the Parish Court of the Parish of East Feliciana, State of Louisiana, and ex-officio Judge of the Court of Probates in and for the same, the Petition of Hezekiah Harrell of said Parish respectfully shews:

That in 1808 or 1809 Jacob Harrell of the late Parish of Feliciana departed this life leaving a considerable estate, consisting of one settlement claim to land lying in the now parish of East Feliciana, negroes, & personal property. That when said Jacob Harrell died he left only collateral relation, to wit, brothers and sisters of the whole blood, of which your petitioner is one. That immediately after the death of said Jacob Harrell, his heirs (one of whom was a minor) assembled and made an amicable partition of the succession of said Jacob. That at said partition your petitioner received as a part his portion thereof, the settlement claim to the land aforesaid. The heirs partaking were Samuel Harrell, Levi Harrell, Sara Ann Smith, wife of Joseph Smith, and your petitioner, who were of full age, and Lewis Harrell, who was a minor. That said Lewis Harrell has since attained the full age of twenty-one years, and has approved of the partition aforesaid.

And your petitioner further shews that he has lately applied to the Registrar and receiver of the Land office at St. Helena Court House, for an order of survey of the Land aforesaid, who have declined giving the same, because there has been no sale of the Land aforesaid agreeable to the provisions of the Civil Code. By reason whereof your petitioner is likely to be deprived of his part of the succession of Jacob Harrell aforesaid, dec'd. And your petitioner further shews that since the partition foresaid, Levi Harrell has departed this life, leaving the following heirs, viz, Hezikiah R. Harrell, Mercy McClendon, wife of Dennis McClendon, Anna Harrell, and Mahitabell Harrell. Hezikiah R. and Anna Harrell are minors above the age of puberty, without curators ad liteum. Mahittabel is under tutorship, represented by her tutor Morgan Bryan.

And your petitioner further shews, that Samuel Harrell and the heirs of Levi Harrell all reside in the parish of East Feliciana aforesaid, and Lewis Harrell and Sara Anne Smith reside in the State of Mississippi.

Now, the premises considered, your petitioner prays that a curator ad litum for this special purpose be appointed to the minors Hezekiah R. & Anna Harrell aforesaid, and an attorney for the absent heirs, that the proceedings may be regular and conform to the law. That the parties aforesaid residing in East Feliciana may be cited to appear in this Honorable Court in manner pointed out by law. that they shew cause, if any can be shewn, why the amicable partition heretofore made among the co-heirs should not be confirmed by a decree of this Honorable Court. That the same be confirmed, and that the land aforesaid be sold after the usual advertisements, to give your petitioner a title to the same. That the title to the same be decreed to be in your petitioner, and that he recover from the defendants his costs of suit. And your petitioner prays such other and further relief as the law will allow him.
