Perkins, seek a partition of the slaves remaining in the estate of her late father, Robert McLemore. They inform the court that McLemore's will directed that his slaves be divided among his widow and his children, three of whom are still minors. The Perkinses cite that the slaves were "to be divided when your petitioner Polly M should arrive at the age of eighteen years and should marry." They also note that the widow's "interest in all of said slaves" has been set aside and that Polly is of age and married. Of the belief that they "are entitled under said will to five seventeenths of the value of said slaves," the petitioners pray the court to "order a division of said slaves ... to be made & appoint commissioners to divide the same & set apart to your petitioners five seventeenths of the value thereof."

  	The following Family Histories have been taken from the book by Sue Oden titled "Hold Us Not Boastful - History of Thompson's Station, TN." This biographical collection includes 86 histories of pioneer families of Thompson's Station and Southern Williamson County. The stories are about families who are proud of their roots and their place in history. We hope that you will be able to connect your roots with ours, and become part of us. The correctness of this biographical material cannot be guaranteed. It was obtained through interviews with family members, research they had done and my own research at the Williamson County Archives. Research in such detail is always subject to error. Everyone must validate the facts for their own use." http://www.tngenweb.org/williamson/history/tsfamhisMO.html Robert McLemore and Margarete O.
