That soon after his death an amicable partition of the real estate was made between his four sons Matthew, Thomas Benjamin and Peter and his daughter Mary Gilliland the wife of petitioner. Peter Crownover having bought the share of Matthew Crownover he was allotted two fifths of shares in the partition, and he has since conveyed to Jeremiah Shoup who is now the owner of that portion of the real estate.

William Logan having bought the share of Thomas Crownover and died intestate leaving a widow Ellen Logan and three children, Sarah aAnn, John and Dennis. The said children who are minors having George (F?) Wakefield for their guardian who has recently sold said real estate to Edward Withington. Benjamin Crownover?s share having been sold at Sheriffs sale to A P Wilson Esqr he sold the same to Edward Zerner who is now the owner of that share. The other share is owned by the petitioner in right of his wife. sometime after the death of Daniel Crownover the boarding of said Susan Crownover was fixed at $35 per year by an arrangement among the heirs and she has resided with and been entirely supported by your petitioner ever since refusing to reside with any of the others. Petitioner admits that payment has been made on the share held by Jeremiah Shoup up to May 1st 1865, the share of E Wingate up to 1stApril 1864, the share held by E Zerner to May 1st 1861 of their several proportions at the rate of $35 per year, but alleges that the said sum was only to cover the boarding and the claims for clothing and other expenses at the rate of ($25) hardly $5 per annum. he further states that the said Susan Crownover has always been and still is unsound in mind as will appear by reference to the testimony attached to the report of A W Benedict auditor on a similar application filed to No 2376 in the Orphans Court files of 1854, and that owing to the great advance in prices and the increasing infirmities of the said lunatic the sums above named are totally insufficient for her support. He therefore prays your Honor to make an order, touching the payment of the sums due under the charge aforesaid and if necessary to appoint an auditor to take testimony and make report to the Court. Whereupon august 19th A D 1865 it was considered petition read and subpoena awarded by the court.
