The handwriting was extremely bad and hard to read - basically, the complaint was that the land was too small to divide among all the heirs, and Peter Cochran and his wife wanted to have the land sold and the proceeds divided between the heirs. The land was eventually sold at public auction and sold for $61 dollars, and each heir got their share after court costs.
