James Pinckney Henderson reports that, on 20 June 1842, Hiram Kenley "with force and arms, took and carried away" his two slaves, Caroline and Martha. Henderson complains that he has "been deprived of the work and labor and services of said slaves of the annual value of Two Hundred Dollars." He further avows that he has spent $500 "endeavoring to regain possession" of the two slaves. Believing that Kenley has left the state, the petitioner prays that Kenley be summoned and be compelled to return his slaves and to pay $3800.
