Chancery Cause in Circuit Court
Albemarle County, VA

Continued from Page -4-

from Sprouse and of the validity of said Macon's title by virtue of said sale, your Orator refers to the case of Creekmur vs. Creekmur and others, 25th Virginia, 430.

It is proper to state that the said Burley Sprouse died long since, and his wife is also dead, so that no question of dower on the part of the said wife can now arise if indeed it was ever pertinent, the re-sale of said land to said Macon having been for what said Sprouse owed on it, so that of course there was nothing of which she could dowable.

The said Sprouse left surviving him a number of heirs, and so far as your Orator knows, he will state them, but it is possible there may be others of whom he does not know, who, if they exist, might possibly be interested in said land. The heirs of said Sprouse, as far as known, are as follows:

1.Allen Sprouse, deceased.

Children of said Allen Sprouse:

Mrs. Cora Atkins, Charlottesville, VA and Ashby Atkins, her husband.

Mrs. Sarah Gentry, Scottsville, VA and Granville Gentry, her husband.

Mrs. Charlotte Williams, Richmond, VA and John Williams, her husband.

Mrs. Ellen Harlow, near Hartman's Mill, Albemarle County, VA and Brice Harlow, her husband.

John W. Sprouse, Rose Hill, Albemarle County, VA

Cleveland Sprouse, Charlottesville, VA

2.Mrs. Mary Sprouse, Staunton, VA

3.Mrs. Sally S. Moore, deceased, husband John Moore, Albemarle County, VA

Children (infants):
Minnie Moore, Albemarle County, VA
Susie Moore, Albemarle County, VA

4.Mrs. Susan Harlow, Charlottesville, VA

5.Mrs. Isabella V. Sprouse, Albemarle County, VA

6.Burley Sprouse, Forest Depot, Bedford, VA

7.Reuben Sprouse, Albemarle County, VA

8.Charlie Sprouse, Albemarle County, VA

9.Ebenezer Sprouse, Charlottesville, VA

10. Mrs. Caroline Bowers, Roanoke Rapids, NC

11. Fred Sprouse, deceased

Children (infants): (NOTE:Children under 21 are infants)

Harry Sprouse
Roy Sprouse
Edgar Sprouse
Lewis Sprouse
Maloney Sprouse

Your Orator desires, of course, that the sale contracted for to Mr. Morris by L.S. Macon prior to his death should be consummated, and the purchase money paid, and being satisfied himself that the title of the said Macon to the said land was absolute and complete, on either one of the two grounds mentioned below, he desires judicial cognizance of that fact taken, so that the said Morris may be entirely satisfied with such deed as your Orator in his capacity of Executor as aforesaid may be able to make.

In consideration whereof, and as your Orator is remediless save in a Court of Chancery where all such matters are properly cognizable and relievable, he prays that the following persons, heirs at law of Burley Sprouse, dec'd. may be made parties defendant to this bill, and required to answer the same, but not under oath, answers under oath being waived, the adults to answer in proper person, and the infants by Guardian ad item to be appointed for them:

Allen Sprouse, dec'd.

Children:

Mrs. Cora Atkins, Charlottesville, VA and Ashby Atkins, her husband.

Mrs. Sarah Gentry, Scottsville, VA and Granville Gentry, her husband.

Mrs. Charlotte Williams, Richmond, VA and John Williams, her husband.

Mrs. Ellen Harlow, near Hartman's Mill, Albemarle County, VA and Brice Harlow, her husband.

Dear Sir,

I have a very distinct recollection of the John Sprouce who served with me in Capt. T.T. Estes' Company- He was cook for my mess the whole time I was in service- He may have been drafted in Capt. Rothwell's Company and immediately after arriving in camp transferred along with others into that of Capt. Estes- We were stationed most of the time at Camp Carter, and our company formed part a attachment sent to Hobb's Hole (Rappahanock) in pursuit of the enemy- We were never at Norfolk never in an engagement none of our company were ever wounded nor did I ever hear of Mr. Sprouce speak of having served at Norfolk- tho this he may have done & I have forgotten it. The Sprouse family are very numerous in this county- and the one applying to you may not be the one with whom I served- At home he lived in Capt. Rothwell's Malitia bounds (I mean my acquaintance). He still lives in the same neighborhood, is a man of some property, and has no connection or intercourse with those of his name who reside mostly in which is termed the Ragged Mountains and are very degraded- You may rely fully upon any thing that my friend John Sprouce may say- I saw him about 18 months ago and if I am not mistaken he informed me that (con't)

[Next Page]

his claim for bounty land was in the hands of (I think) Drury Wood a lawyer in Charlottesville and I promised him if he should find it necessary to render him any gratuitous aid in my power- He never had called on me , and I know that there would not and ought not to be least difficulty in establishing his claim. He resides on top of the South West Mountains (normally called Little Mountains) near Stony Point- It is impossible for me at this time after the lapse of so many years to remember the names of all the Captains from Albemarle. I was but a boy at the time and served as a volunteer- I will name some of them, Estes, Rothwell, McCullock, Wm Woods, T. (W.[sp] Wood) Carr, Field- What part of the County does your man live in? I remember Thomas, Rippew[sp], Dike, Snow and Gardner as members of our Company- If it is really my friend you have got hold of he ought by all means he get his land.

In haste your friend,

Wm. Wertnebaker

John K. Martin, Esq.
Richmond.

It is proper to state that the said Burley Sprouse died long since, and his wife is also dead, so that no question of dower on the part of the said wife can now arise if indeed it was ever pertinent, the re-sale of said land to said Macon having been for what said Sprouse owed on it, so that of course there was nothing of which she could dowable.

The said Sprouse left surviving him a number of heirs, and so far as your Orator knows, he will state them, but it is possible there may be others of whom he does not know, who, if they exist, might possibly be interested in said land. The heirs of said Sprouse, as far as known, are as follows:

Your Orator desires, of course, that the sale contracted for to Mr. Morris by L.S.

In consideration whereof, and as your Orator is remediless save in a Court of Chancery where all such matters are properly cognizable and relievable, he prays that the following persons, heirs at law of Burley Sprouse, dec'd. may be made parties defendant to this bill, and required to answer the same, but not under oath, answers under oath being waived, the adults to answer in proper person, and the infants by Guardian ad item to be appointed for them:
