Petition #20482605

Abstract

Levin Boone, executor of the estate of the late John Boone, seeks to settle a debt dispute with Walter Clarke involving several slaves. In 1814, Francis Boone executed a deed of trust to John Boone conveying the slaves "John about 28 years old, James about 45 years old, Negro woman Bess about 45 years old, Nat about about 22 years old, Felix about 20 years old, negro girl Charity about 13 years old, negro girl Ellen about 11 years old together with their increase and fine feather beds, Bedsteads and furniture, to secure the payment of $385.70 with interest." Francis Boone died in 1816 leaving Walter Clarke and others who claim his property. Levin Boone claims that Francis "never paid any thing to the said John Boone in his life time, or to your orator since his death." He prays that the court will subpoena the defendants and order them to satisfy the claim against the estate of the late Francis Boone.
