P.Q. after the name stands for "pro querente" which means "for the
plaintiff."

I am currently examining two chancery suits filed in first decade of the
1800s regarding the Carter and Robinson families.  In both suits the
plaintiffs are suing the administator of George Carter.  In both cases
the "attorney" if you will is Sto: Towles, p Qs"

I know that this is Stokely Towles, but I cannot figure out what "p Qs"
could stand for.

Any ideas?
