I think my copy of this seventeen eightyeight law suit John Gulick v Samuel Gulick came from Mary Hiatt on the Loudoun County Virginia list.. I don't pretend to understand it all other than it seems part of the witnesses were in New Jersey and part of them in Loudoun Co Virginia and the suit is a Virginia lawsuit I am hampered in that as I began to type this I discovered I have trouble with the keyboard on my computer and can't get most of the numbers to type....but thought I would put this out on both lists.especially the Hunterdon New Jersey list who has been discussing the connection between the two counties...maybe Marty can clarify some of the law suit. It seems to me there might have been quite a bit of back and forth between the two counties....and maybe all of it not to friendly... Decree discontinued "Plaintiff take nothing by his bill but for his false clamour" The bill is not in the file but this suit is about John GULICK taking or stealing sheep from Elizha BIRD in the "JERSEYS." There is argument about killing hogs that belonged to Francis LABARD. Samuel GULICK made oath that James BIRD, Rachel BIRD, Hanna OSMAN, all of HUNTERDON County New Jersey are material witnesses. Soposedly the orator told the defendent "Go home and steal Elisha Birds sheep" There seems to have been a previous case.
