Heirs at Law of Priscilla Stump county - In
THE object of the Bill in this cause is
L to make new parties of all persons
claiming any interest in the estate of
which said Priscilla Stump died seized or
possessed, and to settle all controversy
concerning said estate, and make distribu-
ton among the parties entitled, and for fur
Their relief
Said Bill states that said Ann Archer
heretofore plead her bill of complaint in
this Court against the Heirs at Law of said
Priscilla Stump, praying for a partition or
sale of tho real estate of which said de-
ceased died seized, and that decree was
passed therein, directing the sale thereof
and distribution of the proceeds amongst
her heirs at law. That said lands we're
sold by Henry w. Archer, as Trustee,
under said decree, and under a decree
passed in a case wherein Charles w. Lee
was complainant, and Priscilla Stump, ct
AL, were defendants, which cause, by an
order passed therein, has been consolda-
ted with this present suit That after
said sale was made and before the distri-
button of the proceeds, paper purport-
ing to be the last will and testament of
said Priscilla Stump, vas produced Ga
copy Of which is filed with said supple
mental BilD and offered for probate in
the Orphans Court, for Hartford county,
and said supplemental Bill AYERS that said
paper is not her will, and that at and be-
fore the time of its date, and from that
time until her death, she was non COM
pos mentis. That in virtue of said pre-
tended will, certain persons therein
named, or their heirs or legal representa-
tives, claim to be interested as devisees and
legatees, and that it would be proper before
said decree is carried fully into execution
to make said legatecs and devisees, or their
legal representatives, parties, so that their
claims may be heard and determined.
That among the legatees named in said
pretended will are Sarah Webster, Eliza
beth Dare, Rachel Dare, Catharine Dare,
Eliza Moore, Eliza Wilson and Nancy
Hyland, all of whom are dead, but who
are their heirs or legal representatives,
proper to be made parties to this bill, or
where they reside, is unknown to said
complainant; and that James Williams,
one of the devisees, resides beyond the
limits of this State.
Said supplemental bill further states
that letters of administration upon the
personal estate of said deceased have been
duly granted to Herman Stump, and asks
that the assets remaining in his hands
after tho payment of debts, may be
brought into Court, so that distribution of
the whole estate Of said Priscilla Stump,
may be made, according to equity and the
rights of all the parties interested. And
said bill prays for an order of publication
against said unknown and nonresident
defendants, giving them notice of the
substance aud object Of said bill and warn
ing them to appear and show cause, if any
they have, why relief should not be grant
ed as prayed, and on failure to appear,
that said bill be taken pro con- esso against
them.
