| View Entry | 1849 | John M. Canseler, Thomas H. Canseler, William N. Canseler, & Jefferson C. Canseler by his brother & next friend John M. Canseler, for the use of Bennet Boyd v. Samuel McConnell | Polk | Debt Dispute |
Incomplete file (starts on pg 8); Pla. recovered judgment against McConnell on $60 note he owed Pla.' dad William Canseler (died Feb 26, 1845), which note Pla. sold to Boyd. McConnell says note altered to show a later date & that he never signed altered note. Justice of the Peace Solomon Summy said he instructed Boyd to change the date to make it clear what the date was, as the writing was dim. |
