Madison County (Tenn.) Chancery Court Proceedings, 1851 January 15

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1
From the Collection:

This collection consists of a single volume documenting the case of Robert W. Chester vs. Robert W. Crockett and William Groom, which was heard before the Madison County Chancery Court in 1851. This case had to do with money that Crockett (who was co-executor of Terrill L. Camp's estate with William Groom) was supposedly illegally withholding from Chester without Groom's knowledge. The ledger includes transcriptions of Chester's original complaint, Crockett's answer, exhibits for both the plaintiff and the defense, and depositions from the various parties involved and several witnesses.
