By the COMMITTEE appointed to enquire into the Truth of the
Facts contained in the Petition of George Frazier Hawkins, surviv-
ing Executor of John Stone Hawkins, deceased.
IN Obedience to the Order of the Honourable House, your Com-
mittee have enquired into the Facts aforesaid, and do find that the
said John Stone Hawkins, by his last Will and Testament, dated the
25th Day of November, 1763, devised Part of his real Estate to be
sold for Payment of Debts, and all the Remainder of his Lands or real
Estate, he gave to his Daughter Susannah Priscilla, in Tail, with
divers Remainders over, as by Copy of said Will hereunto annexed
will appear, and therein appointed the Petitioner and a certain George
Frasier, since deceased, his Executors: That the said Susannah
Priscilla is still living, a Minor under the Age of Fourteen Years:
And your Committee further find, that by the last Settlement made
with the Commissary General (including an Allowance of One
Thousand Pounds Maryland Currency for Lands sold) it appears
that there is a Balance due to the said George Frasier Hawkins,
Executor as aforesaid, of Fourteen Hundred and Sixty-six Pounds
Nineteen Shillings and Seven-pence Gold Currency: And your Com-
mittee have examined the said Settlement and find it right, except
an Error of a few Shillings in casting up, which reduces said Balance
to Fourteen Hundred and Sixty-six Pounds Three Shillings and Five-
pence Current Money aforesaid. It does not appear to your Com-
mittee that there is any other Estate of the said John Stone Hawkins
liable to Payment of Debts, except the Land mentioned in the said
Petition; all which is submitted to the Consideration of the Honour-
able House.
Signed per Order, G. DUVALL, Clk.
