Benedict was in some sort of dispute with his uncle William Steuart over the ownership of some slaves. In William's will (probabted in 1838) he gives Benedict a yearly allowance of $200 on the condition that "the said Benedict execute a release to my executor from all claim against my estate real and personal and unless he gives up all claim to all the negroes formerly owned by him, but which now belong to me."
