Babcock appointed guardian ad litem of the minors. Wesley T. Walker was made an additional defendant & waived process. Silas, William, & Dexter Smith, "by Mallory", denied they received "an advencement by their ancestor in his lifetime," but that Hoel & Hayden each had received $500, and Nelson had received $143, which should be taken into consideration in the partition. They denied Adkinson had any title to any portion by purchase or otherwise, but that Wesley T. Walker owned the share of the Johnsons. Joseph Coats, Joseph Glascock, & Joseph Lucas, Commissioners, made partition.
