Abstract
James T. Persons states that Amos J. Persons gave him a promissory note in the amount of $5100, secured by a mortgage on three adult slaves and their six children, as well as on other property. Persons claims that Mark A. Cooper, a resident of Columbus, Georgia, has successfully obtained a $7000-judgment against Amos Persons, resulting in a levy being placed on the mortgaged slaves. James Persons fears that Cooper "proposes to sell the same notwithstanding the mortgage lien which your Orator has on said negroes." He asks that Cooper be prevented "from all further proceeding upon said judgement & execution as regards said mortgaged property, till said mortgage and note have been paid off & satisfied." A related document reveals that the slaves were sold at auction in 1842, for $2141.75, to satisfy James Persons's claim.
Result: Granted.
