PATSY MYRICK, ADMIN. VS BRIANT BARLOW, ADMIN.
|
Superior Court of Chancery June
__ AD 1840
The Bill commences by stating that complaintant is Admin of Dennis
Myrick, deceased. That in said character she was ___ of ____
1 year. Briant Barlow for the use of Henry Barlow and that
judgement was obtained against him in 1838 for $653.00 and cost of
suit, that bond was given for the delivery of property, unforfeited,
and execution issued thereon. That this note on which said
judgement was obtained was given by her intestate to said Briant
Barlow as Administrator, for a negro girl purchased at the Administrators
sale of said Briant Barlow. The Bill further states that complaintant
intestate was the owner of one distributive share of the estate of
John Barlow the intestate of said Briant Barlow, by a purchase of
the same from Southall Myrick and his wife Missouri, who was a daughter
of said John Barlow, and took an assignement of their interest in
a written power of attorney. That some time about the time
of the purchase of said Negro girl, it was understood between said
Briant Barlow and complaintant intestate that the note given for
said Negro girl would be satisfied and set off by the share of the
estate belonging to said Southall Myrick and his wife. That
said note _____ sued on this use of Henry Barlow, is in fact the
property of Briant Barlow. That said Briant Barlow has never
made a final settlement of the estate of John Barlow, deceased his
intestate, and charges that as a fair and final settlement share
in said estate would in amount be more than equal the amount of said
note.
The answer supposes it to be true that judgement was obtained against
complaintant as alledged in her Bill, and admits that the note sued
was made payable to Briant Barlow as Admin. of John Barlow, deceased,
although not ____ in the note, and that said note was given for the
purchase of a Negro girl, Penny. The Answer ____ that complaintant
intestate ever was entitled to one share of the estate of said John
Barlow, deceased. The answer charges that Southall Myrick about
1828, that between two and three years subsequently ____ ______. Southall
Myrick left this state and has not been heard from since. That
said Missouri Myrick on the 24 March 1834, executed a power of attorney
to Henry Barlow authorizing him to collect and _____ her portion
of the estate. That on the 13th day of Feb. 1837, the share
of the said Missouri, as well as could their be ascertained was paid
to said Henry Barlow and his reciept taken therefore. The answer
relies upon the long silence of nearly ten years, as to ban to her
present recovery, even if he ever did have a right to do so. And
_____ that Briant Barlow even would have paid the share of the estate
to said Henry Barlow had it been known that complaintant intestate
had any claim of that nature against the said estate. The Answer
denies all knowledge of an agreement that said note should be off-set
with the distributive share of said Southall Myrick and Missouri,
and states very emphatically? no such agreement was made. The
Answer advises that the note said on is his own property a Admin. The
Answer admits that a final settlement of his intestate estate has
not yet been made, but such settlement shall be made as early as
possible, a copy of which final settlement when made is sought to
be made of the Answer; and to share the actual condition of the estate.
The Answer positively denies complaintants interests in the estate
of John Barlow, deceased, as also _____ _____ material allegations
in the Bill.
Thus situated the ____ of the Answer must be taken as "_____" and
consequently will dispose of the case as over? If indeed complaintant
intestate did purchase a share in the estate of John Barlow, the
long and unexplained silence (preserved?) upon that subject, by the
means of which the defendent, Briant Barlow was imposed on, and induced
to pay Henry Barlow as atty. in fact of the very heir whose interest
in the estate complaintant now claims, nearly the whole share of
the estate _____ of itself to impose silence ____ upon the state
claim setup in the Bill. Courts of ____ and of land,
never lend their aid to resesitate state claims, particularly when
their ____ repose/report? has been _____ means of injuring third
____. Will not the Statute of Limitations apply to this case? It
is thought so, and it is insisted upon in the Answer, and is none
insisted upon this agreement. Missouri Myrick's husband had
been absent for nearly 10 years and has not been heard from since
he left, will not this Court under all the circumstances shield the
Admin. Briant Barlow who has acted honestly and with fidelity, _____
this _____ molestation of a person, who if she ever had an interest
- which is very much questioned - has by her own and the ___ of her
intestate (certainly?) lost it. ______ think the (signature?)
should be _____ the Damages allowed by Land
______ ______ Miles for B. Barlow
The separate Answer of Briant Barlow to the Bill of Complaintant
of Patsy Myrick - complaintant - exhibited against Briant Barlow,
Henry Barlow, and Southall Myrick - defendants.
This Defendant have and at all time hereafter saving and reserving
unto himself all manner of benefits and ____ to the many errors and
____ and other (imperfections?) in said complaintant - Bill
of Complaint unto so much as such parts the ____ as the Defendant
is advised is or are material for him to answer _______ Answering
______
|
Dennis and Patsy
have not been identified, but much of the family believes these
were not children of Missouri and Southall, but instead relatives
of Southall, looking to pick up on Missouri's inheritance. A
marriage record found in Rankin Co Mississippi shows that Dennis
Myrick had married Patsy ______, so the Patsy is mostly likely
his wife, not his sister. Nothing further has been found for any
of this family.

I have been unable to locate any census records whatsoever for
Southall or Missouri Myrick.
