In exchange,  Roy mortgaged a slave woman named Esther for Harp's security.  But Harp charges that \"Roy with a view of practicing a fraud on him and other of his creditors\" has left the county and is about to remove his property, including Esther.  To complicate matters, Roy has executed a deed of gift to Thompson Roy for all his property, and James Davy also claims ownership of Esther.  Harp charges that the three have conspired to keep Esther from him; he asks the court to take her into custody until further order of the court.","subjects":[{"subject":"Concealing (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Title dispute (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Mortgage value (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Assessed Value (enslaved)"},{"subject":"Insolvency"}]}]}
