“The bill states that John A. Holt, by his last will, devised all his real estate to his wife during her life, and after her decease, that the profits of the same should be enjoyed by his daughter, Catherine Sheneck, during her life; and after her death the said real estate to be sold by his executors, and the money thence arising to be equally divided amongst the grandchildren of the testator then living, share and share alike, except his grandson, Michael Cooper, who was to have two shares. That the testator died in the year 1788, and his will was proved by his executors therein named, (of whom George Foulkrod was one,) who took upon themselves the burthen of executing the same. That Catherine Sheneck, the daughter, died in the year 1808, and the widow of the testator in the year 1792. That at the time of the death of the widow and the daughter, the following grandchildren of the testator were living: that is to say, Mary C. Sheneck who intermarried with Lewis Benner, the plaintiff’s intestate, Elizabeth Sheneck who intermarried with John Darr, Michael Cooper, Adam Sheneck, Jacob Sheneck, Sophia Sheneck who intermarried with Jacob Luntz, and Barbara Sheneck who intermarried with Michael Knurr. That on the 4th of April 1809, George Foulkrod, the surviving executor, sold the real estate of the testator pursuant to his will, for the sum of $12,000, which he received. In the years 1799 and 1801, Cooper, Adam and Jacob Sheneck severally assigned their shares of the estate of said Holt to Lewis Benner, for a valuable consideration; and that, previous to the bankruptcy of the said Benner, he agreed with Darr and his wife for the purchase of their share, for which he paid a part of the consideration. That by these transfers, and the purchases, the said Benner became entitled to five eighths of the estate of said Holt, in addition to the share to which he was entitled in right of his wife. That George Foulkrod died in the year 1811, and the defendants are his administrators. The prayer of the bill is for an account and payment of the shares to which Benner was thus entitled.”
