Would appreciate reply from anyone who can provide information (notes,
images, etc.) on Henrico Chancery File 1782-004, especially the claims and
recitals in the Bill of Complaint.

Complainants were Robert Price and wife Mary, Francis Smith and Elizabeth
his wife, John Hudson and Anna his wife, Charles Lewis junr, and William
Lewis.

Defendants were Sarah, Robert, Rebecca, Francis and Susanna Lewis, infant
children of Joseph Lewis.

Court order book says suit was to divide 34 slaves, but says nothing about
the previous owner or the basis of the distribution.

File is not online; only in original form at Library of Virginia.

Thanks.
