In 1844, Jesse M. Robinson purchased "a certain negro girl named Judah aged about thirteen years" from Rutha Ann Alberson Burnett and her husband, Samuel W. Burnett and Jesse Atkinson, trustee of said Rutha Ann. Judah remained in Robinson's possession until she was seized by the marshal under an order issued in favor of James Newby against Rutha Ann's late husband, Joseph Alberson, to satisfy debts owed to Newby by Alberson's estate. Robinson seeks an injunction against the sale of Judah and a settlement of the dispute by the court.
