Henderson Whitaker, administrator of the estate of the late Isaac Whitaker, asks the court to foreclose on a slave mortgage. In 1852, Susannah Doyle [Doyell] secured a $600 loan from Isaac Whitaker by mortgaging Tom, a slave belonging to the estate of her late husband Nimrod. The petitioner now reports that Doyle has died without repaying the money. He asks the court to seize and sell Tom, who is now in the possession of the Doyle's daughter, Muscogee Hardage. He also asks that Hardage and her husband Joseph be summoned, along with Winchester Doyle, the administrator of Susannah Doyle's estate, and Andrew Jackson Doyle, the only other surviving heir to the Doyle estates.
