D. S., Anne Tusten. Endorsed, "In Senate April 7, 1784..." 1 page. Fo
Description
Petition to the Legislature of New York, showing that her husband, the late Lieut. Col. Tusten, purchased a farm in 1774, for which he ran in debt; when Col. Allison and Maj. Hetfield were taken prisoners the whole care of the regiment devolved on him, so that he was obliged not only to quit the practice of physick but to neglect his farm; in July, 1779, he fell in battle, leaving her with five children; her movable estate is not sufficient to pay the debt, and she prays that the Legislature will direct the sale of so much of the land as will satisfy the creditors, her husband having left no will.
