I know that it was published in 1981, but I do not know if it is still in publication or not. There has been some information passed on to me of a court case in 1845/46 that was told about in a 1981 publication involving some of my ancestors. > > L. A. Sanders and wife Sarah Petty, William Petty [my line] Nathan Petty's children's guardian A. S. Foster [Nathan was a brother of William & Sarah] were all children of Bethany Petty daughter of Joab Bagley. These children along with Bethany's sisters are in a lawsuit against Richmond Campbell & David McGahey. David McGahey was appointed administrator of the estate of his grandfather Joab Bagley in 1845. In 1846 McGahey filed a bill to sell certain slaves belonging to the estate. The suit was filed in 1870. The case was supposedly heard on 5/22/1871. This would have been some 25 years after the original bill to sell originated. The case was heard in Marshall County. I wonder if these court records are archived anywhere? > > Bobby Prosser > prossergenealogy@comcast.net > > > ============================== > Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more. > Ancestry.com's United Kingdom & Ireland Collection.
