    possessed of a tract of land in Bourbon County, containing about 240 acres,
    which descends equally to his children aforesaid & that no division thereof
    has ever been made, Forasmuch as your orator, at common law & properly
    receivable in equity, he prays that the defendants may answer the allegation
    of this bill upon their corporal oaths as fully as if the same was here again
    repeated by interrogatory & that your honor will decree that a division of

    Notes:

    She was living with her daughter Mary Ann (Prather) Hewitt in the 1850 census.
    We are not sure of her last name, other researchers have stated her name as
    Unk. I have often wondered if this was short for the word "Unknown" and
    was misunderstood by someone reading the old records. G.B.Prather
    Other reseachers have reported that her last name could have been Tharpe &
    she had Indian in her blood line. I have found no documents that indicate her
    last name or blood line. G.B.Prather
