Obadiah Hammett, administrator of the estate of William Boyd, states that Clarinda Newman died in 1847 and that the court appointed Osburn Scott as executor of her estate. He further asserts that the said Scott omitted two slaves, William and Louisa, from the estate inventory filed in 1847. As Boyd's said administrator, Hammett reports that he has a claim against the Newman estate, which "still remains wholly unsatisfied." He asks the court to subpoena Scott and to require him to file an additional inventory accounting for all property mentioned in Newman's will, especially the two slaves William and Louisa. In his answer, Scott states Newman traded William and Louisa for the slave Asa around 1842 and that Asa was named in the inventory.
