Petition #20784314

Abstract

Samuel Peel states that he earlier won a verdict over Henry Hampton and J. C. Hendren for money owed. The sheriff at that time visited Hampton and Hendren and reported back: "no property found." Peel notes that Hampton married a daughter of the late William Dishman, who "by way of advance gave him two negroes." Peel charges that the executors of Dishman's estate have "concealed" Milly and her son William or that Hampton has sold said slaves. The petitioner asks that Hampton be made "either to produce the negroes or the money" gained from their sale.

Result: Dismissed.
