To the Honl C. W. Hill Judge of the Court of Hustings
Humbley complaining herewith unto your Honor, that some time in the year 1873 S. S. W. Manning died intestate in the City of Portsmouth, leaving the following real estate, a certain lot of land situate at the north east in tersection of Washington and Clifford streeets, in the City of Portsmouth and running north on Washington street twenty eight feet three inches, thence east ninety feet, thence south twenty eight feet three inches to Clifford street thence west ninety feet to the beginning, it being the same lot purchased by Margaret P. Williamson from D. A. Bain and Geo. M. Bain and wife by deed dated the 28th day of March 1860, and which said Margaret P. Williamson left by will to said S. S. W. Manning, said wil being recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Court of Hustings for the city of Portsmouth February 6th, 1873.
The said S. S. W. Manning left surviving her the following children, viz: Job P. Manning, Sophronia Manning, Fanny A. Manning, Mathew W. Manning, the two last named infants under the age of twenty one years of age, and Mary H. who intermarried with one Riell, and is now a person of unsound mind.
Now your orator and oratrix are advised and therefore allege that the interest of the said infants and person of unsound mind will be greatly promoted by a sale of said lot that they have no other estate that on the 9th day of August 1873, Jas. D. Brady qualified, as the administrator of said S. S. W. Manning dec'd and there was not personal property sufficient to pay the debts and that there are now outstanding claims against the estate of said S. S. W. Manning, which they have no means of paying on account of their limited circumstances.
In tender consideration whereof and for as much as they are remediless in the premises save by the aid of a court of equity where matters of this kind are alone and properly cognizable, your orator and oratrix pray that the said Fanny A. Manning, Mathew W. Manning, and Mary H. Riell and Jas. D. Brady administrator of S. S. W. Manning dec'd be made parties defendants to this bill and that a guardian ad litem be assigned the infant and insane defendants, to defend their interest in this suit, that the said Jas. D. Brady be required to render an account of his transactions as administrator aforesaid, that an account of the outstanding claims against the estate of said S. S. W. Manning and all liens against the said property be taken, that the said real estate be sold, and the proceeds after paying all legal claims agt the estate, be paid over to those entitled thereto and that such other and further relief may be afforded as the nature of the care may require or to equity shall seem meet and your orator and oratrix will ever pray.

1. Guess 17
This is a guess. The references below are to an individual named John Manning from Westmoreland Co., Virginia. Since a Thomas Manning (to America in 1615) obtained land in Westmoreland Co. in 1669, I have made this John the son of Thomas. The descendancy could be:
Thomas I--Thomas II--John or other possibilities.
(undated) John Manning of Westmoreland County to George White of same. For a valuable consideration. The within patent. John Manning
