It might be interesting to get a copy of some court cases from the Montgomery Co District Court of the State Docket. I have a book with excerpts that says case #736 filed on May 19, 1859 accused Daniel Dealy of unlawfully giving liquor to a slave. On May 23rd he pleaded not guilty. Jury evidence: Nolle Pros. It does not say the outcome. Case #769, filed Nov 13, 1860 Daniel Dealy was accused of selling Liquor without a license. On Apr 17, 1861 pleaded not guilty. Jury verdict: not guilty. Case # 1018 filed Sep 27, 1870 Daniel Dealy accused of embezzlement of Public Money. Securities provided by Pleasant M Yell & Wm. H Bailey. No solution given. The book also includes some cases of an Edward Dealy. Case #663 filed Nov 13, 1857 accused him of gaming. 12 others were accused the same day. They all plead guilty and paid a $10 fine on Nov 19th. Edward however plead not guilty. On May 24, 1858 the jury found him guilty and fined him $10. He was called as a witness in a couple of other gaming cases. Case #800 was filed Apr 18, 1861 accusing Edward Dealy of Assault with intent to Murder. Apr 19, 1861 defendant came in person and plead not guilty. Jury verdict: Guilty of an aggravated assault, assessed fine of $250. "Gone to S.C" In my cemetery book: Daniel Dealey 15 Aug 1810 - 24 Jan 1888 buried in Old Methodist Church Cemetery. (He is only Dealy listed.) From Probate Records in the Black Box Documents 1867-1885. On 28 Jan 1879 Daniel Dealy and another man "proved the will" of my great-great-great grandfather, Warren Nobles. Also in the book: Packet #664 Daniel Dealyfiled 11 Oct 1883 an Application for Letters of Guardianship and order to sell land. Petitioner, Dan Dealy, represents that he is a citizen of Montgomery Co TX. That Ann Lou Dealy, a female aged 20, Charles Fredrick Dealy, a male aged 18 years, Susan G Dealy, a female aged 14 years and Fannie B Dealy a female aged 12 years, are all minors and are the children of himself and wife, Mrs. Martha Dealy and said minor children reside with their said parents in Montgomery Co TX that applicant is the natural guardian of said minors. Said minors have an estate consisting of 1/4 undivided interest in 66 acres of land in Montgomery Co. That the other 3/4 of said land belongs to the said parents of said minors. That at the present time the land is wholly worthless and cannot be used by said parents or said minors. Asks to be appointed the legal guardian of persons and estates of said minors. That minors have no income whatever and applicant is aged and infirm and cannot maintain them as they should be and educate them, he therefore asks an order of court to sell said land. Land was sold 8 Nov 1883. That's all I have. Just FYI - My great-great grandfather WT Nobles and his brother-in-law James Gary had a dry goods store in Montgomery at the same time the Dealy family had the drug store. Several of my family are also buried in the Old Methodist Church Cemetery. WT Nobles was very Methodist. WT would be a contemporary of Daniel's children. Warren lived 1802-1878 and his son WT lived 1841-1915. They came to Montgomery in the 1850's.
