SILAS RAY ESTATE: PETITION TO RENT LAND 1861

The State of Alabama
Tallapoosa County
To the Honorable Allen D. Sturdivant, Judge of Probate in and for said County 
and State
James M. Berry Executor of the estate of Silas Ray deceased, represents unto 
you Honor that said Ray died seized and possessed of the following lands among 
others to wit:  the South ½ of Section 9, also the East of the South east 
quarter of section eight containing four hundred and forty acres.  Your 
petitioner represents unto your Honor, this it will be impossible to settle up 
the matter of said estate for at least twelve months from this time as there is 
a suit now proceeding in the Circuit Court of Tallapoosa County and which if 
decided against said Ray will force the sale of the lands to the payment of his 
debts, and that the lands above set forth will in the mean time if not rented 
out be worth nothing to the estate of said deceased.
The permission considered your petitioner prays your Honor to grant him an 
order to rent out the said lands for and during the year 1862, and your 
petitioner states that he is fully persuaded that the said lands if rented at 
private Sale and in Smaller divisions then the entire amount of lands set out 
above, would be more beneficial to the estate than than [sic] to rent the same 
at public outcry, therefore he prays your Honor grant him an order to rent said 
lands at public sale and in subdivisions upon such terms as to your Honor may 
see fit and proper, and for all such other and further orders as in the premise 
may be necessary.
James M. Berry, Exr.

Sworn and Subscribed this 14th Oct. 1861
