After Elizabeth and James Stevenson were married, Elizabeth's "father gave her a negro slave named Harriet, tall & large & of yellow color, & now aged about 20 years." Elizabeth Stevenson charges that her husband has abandoned her. She states that he and his relatives have stolen Harriet and her six-month-old baby and may send them out of state to be sold. Elizabeth seeks an attachment directing the sheriff to take possession of the slaves and deliver them to the plaintiff.
