Petition #20683305

Abstract

In January 1833, William Hodges hired James Cone as an overseer on his plantation. In return for Cone's management, Hodges verbally promised to give him one-sixth of the crops produced and agreed "to place under him ... three hands or labours two horses and all the usual and necessary plantation tools, to furnish provisions to your petitioner for and during the year." Cone avers that Hodges dismissed him in August without any just cause. He seeks $200, the value of one-sixth of the crops.
