The Standard of  Raleigh, Aug. 26, 1863
   JAMES MARTIN vs. RICHARD B. PARKER, Adm'r of THOMAS MARTIN and others. 
Petition for distribution of the personal estate of THOS. MARTIN, JAMES MARTIN 
and others vs. the heirs of THOMAS MARTIN. Petition for sale and partition of 
real estate of THOMAS MARTIN.
   The bill sets forth that in August 1842, THOS. MARTIN of Halifax, North 
Carolina, died intestate and without issue, aged about ninety years, leaving 
real and personal estate which devolved on his heirs and distributees who are 
his collateral kindred; that WILLIAM MARTIN, the ancestor of the intestate, 
died in said county of Halifax about sixty years ago and left twelve children, 
to wit: WILLIAM JR; PEGGY; BARTHOLOMEW; JESSE; MARY ANN; CATHARINE; JOHN; 
LUCY; THOMAS (the intestate); AMBROSE; BETSY and JAMES (the plaintiff). That 
all of them died before the intestate except said JAMES; that of the others 
the descendants of said WILLIAM JR., are HENRY MARTIN of the County of Warren; 
and the issue of JOHN, his brother, who died domiciled in Louisiana in 1858; 
that said PEGGY married one THOMAS KELLY, whose issue and descendants are the 
plaintiffs; MARY CARTER, MARTHA KELLY, PEGGY, wife of JOHN A. WALKER of 
Halifax County; and the defendant WILLIAM KELLY of Tennessee; that MARY ANN, 
only descendant now living is the plaintiff, MARY KELLY; that BARTHOLOMEW, 
JESSE, and JOHN married and removed from the State to Virginia or Tennessee, 
but whether they have issue is not known; that CATHARINE, LUCY, AMBROSE and 
BETSY died without issue. The bill seeks a distribution of personal estate and 
partition and sale of the real estate, and a discovery of the heirs and 
distributees, and allege that no information has been received of the 
descendants of said BARTHOLOMEW, JESSE and JOHN, or their issue, within twenty 
years and demand that if any of them be alive they disclose themselves. Also, 
that all non-residenty defendents declare themselves parties or a decree pro 
confesso will be taken against them and the cause be heard ex parte.
