Margaret M., Else Anne, Nancy G., Mary Adeline, and Esther E. Peart, all minors
under fourteen years. A. L. Robinson was so appointed with James Cochran as
Surety in the amount of $600.

On 21 September 1846 an inquest of partition was requested concerning the real
estate of William L. Peart of Pine Township, 348 acres adjoining James Cochran,Samuel Hutchinson and land previously sold by William L. Peart to Walter Sloan
his brother-in-law. Peart's heirs were eleven children: Rachel wife of William
Meaner of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, Rosanna wife of Samuel Cochran,
Susannah Peart and Samuel Peart, all of age; also William, Eliza Jane,
Margaret, Else Anne, Nancy, Adeline and Easter Peart, minors.

This Peart estate was continued over many years until all of the children were
grown up and until after the death of the widow. There were distribution
payments from time to time with many releases and receipts. In a final
