1797 Oct 31 – 1805 May 25 – Absolem Chisom complainant v. Jonathan Hampson & Andrew Hampton, heirs at law of Adam Hampson decd, and James Karr, William Karr, Robert Karr & John Karr, heirs at law of Robert Karr decd, and Jacob McCarty, Defendants } Original Bill in Equity.
… on the 31 day of October 1797 Absolem Chisom exhibited into this honorable court his bill of complaint against Jonathan Hampton & Robert Hampton heirs at law of Adam Hampton decd, James Karr, William Karr, Robert Karr & John Karr heirs of Robert Karr decd, & Jacob McCarty defendants …
…. humbly complaining sheweth unto your honors, your orator Absolem Chisom that under the law of No. Carolina he became entitled to a preemption of 640 acres of land in the District afsd for which he obtained the commissioners certificate and authorized his brother John Chisom to make entry therof which he accordingly did by making an entry in the office for receiving entries of preemptions in the following words and figures viz: "February the 16th 1784 Absolem Chisom enters a preemption of 640 of land lying on the South side of Richland Creek a branch of Red River beginning about 1/2 a mile above the spring about 4 miles below the war trace runing from thence down the creek as the law directs to include the spring and improvements marked I C for compliment".
And your orator sheweth that his improvement was made at the spring called for in his lolcation and also that the said Richland Creek is the same that is otherwise known by the name of Sulphur Fork
And your orator further sheweth that being absent from this Country during several years a report was circulated of his being dead which his said brother either gave credit to and conceived himself entitled to your orators said preemption as heir at law or from some other motive went under pretence of having an order from your orator to the office and then made the following transfer of the said entry viz: "March 9 1785 transferred by order of Absolem Chisolm to John Chisom and by said John Chisom to Adam Hampton".
Your orator further shewth that said Hamptson (who is since dead) gave said John a negro and his bond for the payment of 20 pounds in money for the said preemption so wrongfully transferred to him as aforesaid. But that some time afterwards on your orator returning to this country and claiming his said land a compromise took place in respect thereof by which said John agreed to give said Hampton 200 acres of land as an inducement for him to relinquish his claim to said preemption and agreed also to return the negro he had received for it and give up the aforesaid bond to said Hampton to be cancelled all which was accordingly done and the said Hampton in consideration thereof relinquished to your orator all his right and claim to said Preemption and promised to recovery the same to him.
And also your orator sheweth that after said Hampton had received the transfer of said Preemption in the manner above stated and before said compromise took place he had caused sd land to be surveyed and a return thereof to be made to the secretary's office in his own name on which a grant hath since issued in his name and such title was thereby vested in him at his death descended to Jonathan Hampton and Andrew Hampton sons and heirs at law of the said Adam decd who are yet seized thereof, no conveyance having ever been made to your orator of said land either by the said Adam in his lifetime or by said heirs after his decease.
And your orator is informed and believes the patent for his said land is in possession of the said heirs and that the said heirs are yet under age.
And your orator further expressly charges that his said brother took on himself to sell and transfer the said preemption without any land of order or authority from your orator for so doing and that he never in any wise ratified or agreed to the same … (This case goes on from page 301 to page 314 with several different claims and defenses … the defendants claimed that the subsequent agreement with Adam Hampton was never signed by Adam Hampton (Defense claiming it was due to a disagreement about a particular clause – therefore no agreement. Absolam claimed the oral agreement should be enforced because his refusal to sign was part of the fraud to take his land). The defendants also claimed that too much time had passed – claiming a defense of Statute of Limitations. Eventually, in 1805 the court agreed with the Defendants (without explanation of which defense it accepted) and dismissed the case).
