Arthur B. Davis claims that in 1839 Stephen M. Ingersoll "executed and delivered, under his hand and seal" a deed of trust to James Watson which conveyed to him certain property in order to secure payment of a variety of notes of "indebtment including one for four thousand dollars." Davis contends that he purchased two of the notes from one of the debtors, Seaborn Jones. He also contends that he has obtained judgments on the notes and reports that executions "have been issued, and are now in the hands of the Sheriff ... still open and unsatisfied." Ingersoll meanwhile conveyed the same property, including slaves, to others in separate deeds of trust, jeopardizing Davis's claim and ability to collect on his judgments. Davis pleads that the defendants be "enjoined from selling said property so levied" and "from all other proceedings in execution of the trusts in said deeds."
