He did not apply sooner because he formerly had health and strength, and hoped to be able to support his family by his personal industry. These have failed him.
Since the 18 th March 200 acres of land 1 cart and wheels and some stock have been sold under secondary executions.
See paper B.
Evidence
C. is an authenticated copy of the Sheriffs deed for 100 acres of land sold under an execution in favor of "Mr. R Kearney Assignee" for $117.20 amt of Judgment. and $23.03. costs. Set up at public Sale on the 13 th December 1824. and bought by Leroy Jackson "the last and highest bidder" for the sum of $6.
D. is copy of Sheriffs deed for the other 100 acres, exposed to sale in June 1823, and bought by A. H. Davis "the last and highest bidder" for the sum of $72.25. under an execution in favor of William Leonard of $80.75 with interest and $6.92 costs
Origin of these judgments
William Leonard states that some 2, or 3 years past he bought a bond against the claimant from one Turner Person, who since that time has moved to Tennessee, for $80, or thereabouts, which he understood from all the parties had been given for the purchase of a horse. That he obtained a judgment thereon, and for want of goods and chattels, levied on the claimants land, which was sold pursuantly. — paper F.
William R Kearney states, that 4 or 5 years past he received of Jacob Hunter late of Warren Co N.C. two or three bonds amounting to, between one, and $200. against the claimant and John Jackson his security, which he placed in the hands of an Attorney to bring suit on, which was done in Franklin Co N.C. that he understood the notes were given for the hire of a negro slave, which the claimant hired for several years
* moved to Tennessee and died.

and he believes that the debts were justly owing. Paper F This is corroborated by the testimony of Owen Jackson, who had been a near neighbor of the claimant for 25, or 30 years - he swears positively to the hire of the negro slave "for a number of years" (slave named Abram) and corroborates the death of Hunter. He is also knowing to the purchase of the horse from Pison, stated in the affidavit of Leonard. knows that Pison has moved to Tennessee and testifies to the claimant's indigence. Paper G.
James Murphy a constable states that he levied "on all, or nearly all" the goods and chattels of the claimant, by virtue of an execution on a bond given to Jacob Hunter in 1822, or - 3, for $40, or 50 dollars and sold the same publickly to satisfy the same paid the amount to Hearnings. Paper H
The Sheriff of Franklin states that he received from the clerk's office certain executions against the claimant which for want of personal property, he levied on his real estate and sold the same as described in his deeds to the purchasers. I
Claimant 70. a farmer has lost the use of his right hand by ricks, which prevents his working - his wife is 62. has a son yet with him aged 25, and a grandson 6 years of age.
I certify that I have examined this case and am of the opinion that according to the principles which have governed in previous decisions the claim ought to be admitted.
