Bedford Co., TN Chancery Court Enrollment Book D 1848, pages 459-462

Amended Bill - Filed 25th October 1843
To the Honl. B. L. Ridley, Chancellor & c - Humbly complaining your orator Minos Cannon would respectfully represent to your Honor that before the last term of this Court he filed his Bill against one William Norton and Thomas G. Holland, the former a citizen of Bedford County and the latter of Coffee County Tennessee, in which he alleged among other things that he had purchased a note for about the sum of one hundred and twenty five dollars on said Holland and that and that he had obtained a judgment on said note against said Holland, and had caused an execution to issue thereon which had been returned “no property to be found,” that said note was given for the purchase money of a tract of land in Coffee County, bought by sd. Holland from said Norton, and that said Norton had given a title bond binding himself to make a deed in fee simple with general warranty, for said land to said Holland when the purchase money should be paid, and prayed that said land should be sold to pay to pay sd. judgment, and for general relief. Your Orator reaffirms all the allegations in his said Original Bill, except that the legal title to said land was not in said Norton but in the heirs of Thomas Keeling deceased.

Your Orator now states by way of Amendment to his sd. Original Bill, to your honor, that said William Norton purchased said tract of land from sd. Thomas Keeling in his life time and took a title bond for the same, binding said Keeling to make a title in fee simple with general warranty when the purchase money should be paid. Your Orator further states that since the execution of said last mentioned bond Thomas Keeling the bargainor therein, has departed this life intestate, leaving as his heirs at law to whom to whom the legal title descended on the death of said Thomas Keeling - to wit, Calvin G. Cribbs and wife Hiley, citizens of Carroll County Tennessee, E. B. keeling, Elyry Keeling, Larkin Keeling, James L. Keeling, Alfred Burrow and wife Katharine A. and Thomas A. Keeling, citizens of Coffee County, & Harrison Keeling, a citizen of Pope County Arkansas, and Mary Keeling, the widow of said Thomas, who also lives in Coffee County Tennessee. Your Orator further charges that said Norton has paid most of the purchase money fro sd. tract of land, and that he has claims on the heirs and distributees of said Thomas Keeling sufficient to pay the balance which the Administrator of said Thomas is willing to receive in payment of said balance due as aforesaid and that he and sd. Norton have agreed to settle the same in that way, but have not yet passed receipts therefor. Your Orator states that he is advised and believes that he is entitled to have satisfaction of his debt aforesaid out of sd. Holland's interest in said tract of land, either in virtue of his lein for unpaid purchase money (his debt being of that description) or out of it as property of said Holland, to which he has an equitable title that can be reached in the Honorable Court. He would here state that said Holland has paid for said land except the debt due your Orator. In tender consideration of the premises and for as much as your Orator is only relievable in this Honorable Court your Orator prays that the heirs and widow aforesaid of said Thomas Keeling be made defendants to this amended Bill, that copies of said Amended Bill issue to all the parties, including said Norton and Holland, who are prayed to be made defendants to this Amended Bill, and that they all answer & c, and that upon the hearing of this cause your Honor will decree that sd. tract of land be sold and the proceeds applied, first to the payment of whatever may be due E. B. Keeling as Administrator for unpaid purchase money, if he and Norton cannot settle the sum before the final hearing of this cause, and the balance to the payment of your Orator's debt, and for all such further relief as he may be entitled to in the premises and as in duty & c.
