520 |a Under his will, Kinchen Taylor, Sr left a number of specific bequests to members of his family. His residuary legatee he named as his son Kinchen Taylor, Jr, to whom he left all the property not otherwise disposed of. After Kinchen Sr's death the management of his plantation was taken over by his son Joshua Taylor as one of his executors, but Joshua's stewardship of the estate did not yield profits sufficient to educate Kinchen Sr's three youngest children and pay some of the legacies stipulated in the will. On Kinchen Jr reaching his majority, the several recipients of Kinchen Sr's slaves under the will filed suit to compel the slaves' division between them, with disagreements as to the share to which each was entitled. The specific issue was the fate of the shares in the slaves that had been bequeathed to legatees who had died before Kinchen Jr's coming of age. The court determined that the wording of Kinchen Sr's will, though obscure, pointed to the legacies of slaves to four of his children being of exactly equal natures, and of a sort as to enable the deceased children's administrators to receive them.
