View Entry 1883 T. G. Boyd v. Alexander Lee, et al. Monroe Estate Dispute

Thomas G. Boyd alleged that in 1866, he, Alex Lee, Larkin Carden, A. T. Morgan's widow and heirs, and William Lee (Morgan's son-in-law), became the sureties of G. P. Carmichael on a replevin bond involving a large tract of Morgan's land. The court fined Lee, who had attempted to collect Morgan's debts and cash in on them. Carden claimed title to the land. The transcript is challenging, as it confuses A. T. Boyd and A. W. Boyd. Also involved is Isham Hammonds found in ET 1659.
