1777
AVlNG some months ago sent a ne
H gro man, named jOE, into the
county of Glouce/Zcr to be hired ont there
by mr. Samucl Heath, George Glajcock, of
the county of Richmond, did, on the _
day of this month (faste) go into the ssind
county of Gloucq/Ier and make application
to a'magish'ate there for a warrant to take
sithe aforelaid negro, alledging, and, as
we have been informed, swearing, that
he had aright to him, upon which a war
rant was granted to the said George G_lq/"
cock fosir-the taking the said ncgro, With
siout an farther proof of property (Wllh
the sai George Gldfizock, nodoubty EVF'y
ciigisidie as well as easy method of obtain
-_ing the cffccts ofa very usjust as well as
,oundless claim) and as it is probable the
Eid George Glascock may attempt to sc-il
she said negro 708, and thereby impose
upon somessincautious innocent purchaser
with the same sacility he has done upon a
justice of the peace, who, viiht-ut any
authority, so readily determined concern
ing— the property os foe, before we were
or could be informed of the preceding,
we the subscribers think it our duty, to
prevent such imposition, to state to the
publick our claim and light to the said
negroes 70e, and Hurry. George Glascock,
deceased, the grandsather of the above
George, by his will recorded in the court
of Richmond county, gave several negroes
by name to his three children. the father
of the asoresaid George, William, and 71;
dl'th, and ordered that all his persona] es
tate and negroes, not before mentioned,
should becqu-ailydivided between issis three
children. The testator appointed no ex
ecutor of his will, and his widow (who
died about eightyears ago) took adminis
tration; of his estate. The above negro
Yoe, as well as two other negro men,
Hvry and Isaac, were not specifically
devised, butthewidow, whohad no legaty
given to her by the will, took the said
negroes Hurry and Yoe in part of her
dower; negro [saac the said George Glas
cock's father kept from the time of his
father's death, without accounting For him
to his brother or sister, who were then
ioFants; and negrn Hurry, whomhe forced
posseffion of in a short time after the death
of the widow. Toe has been in the pos
scffion of the subscribcr jolm Hcath from
before the death of the widow until George
Glascock took him by an armed force, sold
him, and bought him himself; after which
he came to the subscribers, soon after the
death of the widow, viz. inthc year 177 1 .
An order of Richmond court was obtained
appointing gentlemen to divide the ne groes
and other estate residue of the said George
GIa/caclz's estate, which division has not
yet been made, nor the said order com
plied with. The subscriber John Heath
married _7udith the daughter of the said
testator George Glascock, and the other
subscribers are administrators to the said
William Glascock, who is dead. The
above may'be relied on, and the will and
order of court referred to may be seen by
any person inclinablc to make farther in
quiry. CnLoE GLASCOCK.
