Petition of Richard and Rhoda Applegate ~sta)
To the Honorable the judge of the Third Judicial district, holding sessions in and for the Parish of Feliciana, State of Louisiana.
The petition of Richard Applegate and Rhode Applegate residents of Mason County, State of Kentucky respectfully represents that they are the Heirs at Law, in the direct line, of Abraham Applegate who departed this life in this Parish some time in the year 1820, that James Small applied for and obtained letters of curatorship from the judge of Probate of the Parish aforesaid, and on the 26th day of August 1820, entered into a bond of one thousand dollars with Isaac Morgan and Solomon M. Brian as Securities, for the faithful discharge & performance of the duties of a curator, as will appear by reference to a certified copy of said Bond hereto annexed and prayed to be made a part of this petition.

Your petitioners charge that the said James Small by virtue of his authority as curator reduced into possession the Estate of Abraham Applegate deceased; but that he has not [illegible] truly and faithfully discharged and performed his duties as aforesaid curator, for they [illegible] the said James Small among other things did not inventory as the property of the said Abraham deceased - a Grey Horse worth one hundred and fifty dollars, which was the property of the said Abraham, and which the said James Small knew to be such, but did fraudulently use and appropriate said Horse to his own use and benefit; and they moreover charge that in many particulars the Inventory of the said Abraham's Estate returned by the said James Small was willfully incorrect and incomplete.

Your petitioners further allege that the said James Small after embezzling the Estate of the said Abraham deceased, as aforesaid, did leave this Parish and has gone to parts unknown to these petitioners; that he failed to account for the revenues of said estate in any manner, has never settled his account as curator and that the legal term for dowin which has long since expired

Wherefore, your petitioners pray that the said Isaac Morgan and Solomon M. Brian, Securities aforesaid, may be cited to appear in this Honorable Court in due course of Law, and sentenced, judged and decreed to pay the some of one thousand dollars, the amount of the bond signed by them as Securities aforesaid, costs of suit, and for general relief.

[The petition itself is undated. The summons issued based on it are dated 18 October 1823]
