Nicholas Wylie hired William Moore to work as an overseer on his plantation in Lee County for the sum of five hundred and fifty dollars which was to be paid at the end of the year. Moore claims that he worked as overseer and "faithfully and diligently ... performed the various duties of an overseer in the management of the slaves taking and gathering the crop and in taking care of and improving the farm of Said Nicholas," until 24 November 1852, at which time Wylie fired him "without any reasonable or lawful cause." Moore seeks the full payment of his service contract.
