Petition #20783606

Abstract

Martha Dabney charges that shortly after she married Cornelius Dabney "his conduct toward her became harsh, cruel, barbarious, and insufferable" and that she has had to leave him. She believes "an attempt was made upon her life by poison" and charges that he "kept pistols and other instruments of death about him." He has refused to make any provision for her, although he owns at least three slaves and is owed money. She asks the court to compel him to account for his property and to decree her alimony.

Result: Dismissed.
