      TSL&A, Nashville, TN:
      Bill of Complaint.
      Transcript.

      "A Bill. Robt. Childress and others vs. Betsy Hynds and others. Filed August
      17/49.
      To the Honorable Thomas L. Williams Chancellor & sitting in Chancery for the
      District composed of Knox, Anderson & Blount [Counties]:
      Humbly Complaining herewith unto your Honor, Your Orators Robert Childress
      of Knox County, Lucy Julian & her husband John Julian of Knox County, John
      Childress of Anderson County & William Childress of Campbell County,
      Ten[nessee] [plead] that about the 11th day of January1848 [sic] their
      ancestor, John Childress, departed this life in Knox County intestate, and
      at County Court of Knox County, your Orator Robert Childress & his son
      Robert Childress were appointed administrators of said estate. Said
      intestate was very little if any indebted at the time of his death. His
      personal estate is more than sufficient to pay & satisfy his debts. Said
      intestate died seized and possessed of a tract of land adjoining the lands
      of John Connor, Robert Childress & Lindsay Childress of Knox County and is
      estimated to contain 453 [acres] it being the same place on which said
      intestate died.
      Your Orators state that in addition to your Complainants said intestate left
      the following named persons his heirs at law & distributees, to wit: Betsy
      Hynds & her husband Byram Hynds of Marshall County, Ala[bama]; the heirs of
      Lindsay Childress to wit: Phoebe Tindle & her husband James Tindle of ____
      [sic - blank] County, Missouri State. Also Polly Childress who has since
      intermarried with Thomas May, Nancy Childress since intermarried with James
      DeArmond, Hugh L. Childress & Margaret Childress both minors have no
      guardians. They reside in Knox County, Ten[nessee].
      Also the heirs of Sally Cox, formerly Sally Childress, to wit: Jackson Cox
      of Anderson County, Curd Cox of Knox County, John Cox of Claiborne County,
      Robert Cox, Myra Petre & her husband William Petre of Knox County.
      Also the heirs of Polly Hynds, formerly Polly Childress to wit: Lindsay
      Childress Hynds of Marshall County, Ala., Benjamin J. Hynds, Lorrinda
      Pharris & her husband Solomon Pharris, Ebenezer B. Hynds, William Singleton
      Hynds, & Marjory Ann Hynds, all citizens of Texas.
      Also James Childress of Pulaski County, Missouri.
      Your Orators charge that said tract of land is not susceptible of a division
      amongst said heirs [and] that to divide it would lessen its value & in fact
      ruin the farm; that it is impossible to give spring water to ____ and your
      Orators are perfectly satisfied that in order to [make] an equal division
      among the several heirs it will be necessary to sell said tract of land and
      your Orators believe that all of said heirs are desirous that said land may
      be sold and the purchase money divided.
      The premises considered. Your Orators pray that the foregoing named heirs at
      law of their said intestate [ancestor] may be made Defendants to this Bill &
      that guardians ad litem may be appointed as defendants for the minors and
      they pray that on the final hearing of this cause that said land may be sold
      and the proceeds of said sale may be divided and if in any thing your
      Orators have mistaken their relief they pray for general relief according to
      the facts in this case.
