Thanks for any assistance, Gaila 12 May 1836 - An allegation by A. Busbay (Busbee) against M. Howard. A. Busbee charges M. Howard with unchristian like conduct at justice court at Gunns. M. Howard asked A. Busbee if they (meaning the heirs of William R. Busbee, deceased) were not qualified to stand to anything that Nimrod Jackson and James Busbee done. A. Busbee answered no. M. Howard said you was and he could prove it by a dozen witnesses. A. Busbee asked his step mother if we were qualified to stand to anything they done. She answered no only to the division of the land. A. Busbee said his recollection was tolerable good and if he had been qualified to any thing but the division of the land he would have recolect it. M. Howard said yes, I know your recollection is pretty good but anything you don't want to recollect you cannot be made to recollect it, with a great many other things he has said to tedious to mention though calculated to hurt feelings. The church took up the charge and appointed a committee of the body to report to the church. We the committee believe the acknowledgement of Brother Howard satisfactory to the church Anza Murray, c. Clerk pro tem (M. Howard was clerk at this time, but I assume , since this was concerning him, a substitute was appointed.) ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
