James Jenkins Daniel, Franklin Cunningham, "by right of his wife" Nancy Cunningham, and Patsey Jenkins Daniel claim $3,000 damages from Howard Cash. They claim that they owned a female slave named Rachel and her two children, "Willis, a yellow Boy about three years old" and "John a negro Boy about one year old," each slave with an estimated value of $1,000. They lost the slaves, who ended up in the possession of Howard Cash. The petitioners claim that Cash knew that the slaves belonged to them, but with intent to deceive, "converted and disposed of the said three negroes to his own use."
Result: Granted; appealed; dismissed.
