John P Rust vs Barton Barton, Taylor John P Rust On Sept 5, 1851 John P Rust purchased a tract of land on waters of Short creek, of James Wilson for $600, and Wilson gave his title bond for a deed of general warranty on or before March 1, 1853.....Rust gave his note to Wilson, who assigned same on Jan 6, 1852 to A F Monroe and Napoleon B Aulick who sued and recovered a judgment at June term 1852. Since plaintiff has been in possession of the land he has found there are various interests in the land, to which daft Wilson has no shadow of right. The land was conveyed or intended to be conveyed by Executor of McMillen dec'd to James Orr, but if any deed, it has not been found in Pendleton Co. Clerks office. James Orr conveyed the land to Malinda Barkshire, Nancy Barton, Milly late Milly Barton, Robert Barton, Ellen Johns late Ellen Barton and John Barton, being the heirs of Taylor Barton dec'd, which deed is recorded. A portion of said heirs to wit, John Barton, Robert Barton, Nancy Barton and Ellen Johns and A B Johns, being 4 of the heirs out of six, sole their interest in some manner to Taylor Barton, Jr. That John and Nancy were infants when they sold to Taylor Barton. Since John Barton arrived at lawful age he sold his interest to A B Johns. Amelia Barton and Malinda Barkshire have never sold. Taylor Barton, Jr has a clear right to but 2 shares out of six, and has not obtained the legal title even for these. Taylor Barton, Jr sold the tract to Samuel & Benjamin Lancaster for a reduced price and has made no conveyance. Shoemakers sold the land to James Wilson, and have not made him a deed. Wilson has not paid the purchase money. Wilson sold the land to plaintiff Rust. Signed: John P Rust Injunction granted Aug 25, 1852 by Wm.
