October 30, 1779. Petition of Lady Mary Middleton, wife of Henry Middleton, relict of Thomas Drayton and mother of Thomas Drayton, a minor, shows that Thomas Drayton, minor, is without a guardian, John Drayton having died; and Thomas being absent from the state, her petition to this court is necessary for a guardian to be appointed; and the petitioner therefore seeks that a guardian be appointed.
