Acct. of money paid to Hezekiah P. Neal Exec. of John Allen Decd.

September 28, 2006 by Sheila 5 Comments

These documents were in the Chancery Court Case where Elizabeth Allen Treadway and her husband had taken her Uncle Hezekiah P. Neal to court asking for proof of what happened to her father’s Estate.  This one was to account for the amounts Hezekiah had paid to himself for Executing.

NOTE: that in this particular Court Case, Elizabeth refers to Hezekiah as ” brother in law” of her father. Hezekiah refers to John Allen as his brother in law, and Esther Jane Neal Allen calls Hezekiah her Brother.

John Allen Deceased Dr (debtor)

1841 In Act. with Hez P. Neil Exr of Estate.

Feby Court for 1 days attinding Court Exr H. $1.50

19 & 20 – 2 days attinding praisment & sale $2.00

March For 1 days attending returning papers $1.50

Augt For 1 days attending at SUIT of BOWLIN $1.00 ( in 1840 Jared/Jarett Bolin was the house before John)

1842 For 2 days attending sale Land $2.00

Augt 1st atting (attending) at Estilleville Suit of YATES $1.50

( NOTE: Elizabeth Neal m. James Yates.. charged Sugar and Coffee on Johns store Bill and move to Floyd Co. KY…they named a son Alexander Calvin, and her first daughter Esther.. Floyd Co.death records says her parents were Calvin and Nancy Neal)

” 1 ” ” ” at Grearr ” ” ” ” Spotts $1.00

1843 5 days going to BOTETOURT $10.00 ( I think this was to sell John’s cattle and horses)

Febry 1 day attending Court atc? widow $ 1.50

1 ” ” ” ” ” ” ” to Suit with Humes (&) Man $ 1.00

______________

$ 24.00

Nov 13th 1 day at and nigt at Corte 2.00 ( Different hand writing than above.. note spelling of Court and business… this is Hez himself)

Decm 14th 1 day at Cort _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1.50

July 15th 1 day at Cort attending to Bisness with the Commisherner 1.50

in 1845 on Bisness to Cort differnt times 4 days at 1.50 each day

NOTE: Notice no total for the second set of bills. And why did they total it half way through? I think he needed to account for some extra money when he got took to court by Elizabeth and added some things here and there. There is this besides the notes he turned in that had and x for John’s mark when all other documents for John including his original will has a J for his mark. This second set of ” Bisness” here is in the same handwriting and spelling of the letter Hez. wrote as his answer to the court and some other things he did himself. The above was done by someone else.

Next is the record from the Court…

    I wanted to comment on James Brickey who was married to Jaley Brickey Green, mentioned above. James was my great great grandfather. It was Matilda Sloan that lived with them, not Matilda Allen. There’s some mystery surrounding Matilda Sloan, but I have copies of several census records listing her name as Sloan. I would be interesting in getting in contact with anyone researching this family. Thanks
