The humble petition of William & Robert Creer of the Town of 
Douglas
Sheweth. That your pet’rs upon the death of Patrick Creer late of the said town
Dec’d being decreed supervisors of his orphan children according 
To Law, did in consequence of said advisors, take an Inventory of all
the said deceadants effects (exclusive of his dwelling house) the whole of which said
inventory amounted in the whole only to the sum of six pounds six
shillings and four pence, both the dead & livings part.
That the several creditors of the said Patrick Creer having
entered and proved their claims in legal manner & the year & a day
being expired the said several claims appear to amount to the sum of
fifteen pounds six shillings & three farthings on the deads part over
and above the amount of said inventory, for or towards the 
payment of which said sums Pet’rs have not a farthing in their hands
belonging to the dec’d; yet are the said Creditors putting
the said orders in Execution against Petrs
And as for as much as Petrs cannot pay of or satisfie said
Claimors their debts or proceed to sale of the said house to that end
Without your Rev’ds special order and qualification in this
respect.
Petrs therefore humbly pray your Revds
would be pleased to order & decree the said house
to be sold or incumbered for such sum of money
as will be sufficient to satisfie & pay said
Debts & petrs as bound shall ever pray.

At a Consistory court holden at Baloryhown July 14th 1763
It appearing to this court that the Debts of Patrick Creer

a necessity to dispose of some part or the whole of an
House 8 the appurtenances in the said town (the same being
a chattel interest in the dec’d Patrick Creer) in order to discharge
the foresaid sum of £15-6-0 ¾ due unto his creditors
the petrs therefore are hereby empowered, so far as
concerns this court, to sell or mortgage a part of the foresaid
house & its appurtenances or the whole if need be for
the satisfying of the Debts legally proved, & defraying all
just expense already incurred or to be incurred relative

to the best advantage. And the petrs are to return to
this court a just account of their proceedings herein to
