I began my extraction with Book Seven and that contained the dismissial of what I suspect was an earlier perhaps defective suit that was reinstated on 4 Mar 1793 Note that next year the suit moves towards settlement 6 OCTOBER 1794 Pg 238 Davis James, Callicott et al, Plaintiffs vs James Barnes, adm'r of Thomas James, dec'd, Defendant - a suit in Chancery, and an order of this court 4th day of March 1793 On the motion of the plaintiffs by their atty, that the Sheriff summons Mack Goode, Hillary Moseley, Edmund Moseley and Langston Bacon, commissioners appointed, to appear here in the next Court of Quarter Sessions, and there to show cause why they do not make report agreeable to said interlocutory order. Again in Book 10 there is another James action though here it's Thomas Hugh James. pg 195 John Barnes, adm'r of James Barnes, dec'd, Plaintiff vs Thomas Hugh James, John James and John Callicott; Defendants - on a petition by note. It appearing by the sheriff's returns that Hugh Thomas James is not an inhabitant of this county, therefore the suit against him abates. The other defendants, being duly summoned and not appearing, therefore the plaintiff recover against the defendant £ 2/14/0 w/interest from 1 Dec 1793. Barlett James was still in Charlotte Co and apparently no longer a minor in 8 Aug 1797 Bk 11 Pg 79 On the motion of Bartlett James for leave to file his bill of injunction . . . against Walthal Holcomb, assignee of John Bibb, who was the assignee of Robert Saunders . . . whereupon, he with John McCargo, his security . . . etc. I hope this helps Tom McCargo
