View Entry | 1883 | Martha Dickerson [Dickenson?] [Dickinson?], by next friend William H. Brown v. Frank Parker et al. | Wayne | Land and Title Dispute |
Additional Defendants: David I. Dickerson, I.H. Davis. Plaintiff's husband, D.J. Dickerson, entered into contract with Def. Parker pursuant to which the two traded land. Plaintiff (who says she was illiterate) has possessed the land at issue since then. At some point, there was an issue re: the need to sign new deeds, as the wives had not signed the originals. Plaintiff signed the deed, but Def. Parker never made good on his promise to get his wife to sign a new deed. Martha was 87 at time of suit. |
