the sum of $890.10
Leaving a balance due on said

They further also that there is the sum of $627.65 due said estate by notes and accounts in the hands of said Adms.
In addition we find five hundred and forty acres of land in one lot worth the sum of 3.50 per acre amounting to $1890.00
Another
tract of 200 acres at $3.00 600.00
The two tracts as above specified we find incapable of a
proper division among said heirs and we recommend the sale of the same one half
payable on the 25th day of December A. D. 1859 and the other half
payable twelve months from that date. We also find the sum of $3665 dollars as
per inventory and appraisement heretofore returned which we find incapable of
division it being in personal property and we therefore recommend a sale of the
same on a credit until the first of January A. D. 1860.
They recommend to the Hon. The County Court exercising probate jurisdiction that said available means be partitioned and divided among said legatees as the legal heirs of said John Haggard Sen., deceased, and that the balance of said property as belonging to said estate be divided and partitioned among said heirs and legatees so soon as the same shall be sold and the proceeds collected.
