In 1785, Joseph Dobson became indebted in the "penal" sum of 850 pounds to Daniel Jennings and others. To secure the debt, Dobson mortgaged twelve slaves: six males, four females and two children. The petitioners state that Joseph Dobson has died and that Joseph R. Dobson, his son and administrator of the estate, has neither paid off the note nor turned over the slaves. They ask the court to order Dobson to settle the account or to allow them to proceed with foreclosure on the property.
Result: Granted.
Or you may view all people.
Repository: Chatham County Courthouse, Savannah, Georgia
