Augusta County, Virginia; Court Records
From "Scotch-Irish Settlements in Virginia," Vol. 1, Augusta County Court
Records
August 1797, Page 410
Text of Entry:
"James McNutt v. William Sprowl, devisee of Samuel Sprowl -- Writ, 1st
August [17]'95. Notice given by plaintiff to take depositions of Robert
Gamble, James Beard and other witnesses of the inhabitants of the
Southwest Territory. Depositions of Saml Henry, James Tedford and James
Ewing before David Craig, James Gillespy and James Houston, in Blount
County, Territory S. Ohio, October 30, 1795, that they viewed 320 acres
and appraised it. Depositions of Robert Gamble and James Beard before
Thomas McCullock, James Gillespy, and James Houston, in Blount County,
Territory S. Ohio, 22d December. 1795, say: James Beard sent the pocket
book and papers of Samuel Sprowl, deceased, to his house, and when
William Sprowl came out to this Country, Ro. Gamble delivered the whole
of the papers of Samuel, deceased, to William Sprowl. Covenant by Samuel
Sprowl to convey land to McNutt, in Sevier County, State of Franklin,
18th September, 1787. James McNutt, of County of Augusta, and Samuel
Sprowl, of County Sevier, in State of Franklin. The land joins Jacob
Alexander."
Possible Legal Explanation: William Sprowl is named plaintiff because the
property -- located in "Sevier County, Sate of Franklin" (now Sevier
County, Tennessee) belonged to Samuel Sprowl; before he died Samuel
Sprowl gave McNutt his "covenant" [a legally enforceable promise] to sell
the land to James McNutt. Samuel died before the covenant was fulfilled;
William inherited the property Samuel had promised to sell, so, he "stood
in the shoes" of Samuel Sprowl for legal purposes. The coventant was
probably documented in the papers delivered to William by Robert Gamble;
William probably claimed he knew nothing about it, had no such paper, and
refused to sell the land. So, McNutt had to sue to enforce the covenant
after Samuel's death; as part of the case, he produced deposition
testimony from others who could verify the existence of the covenant
(McNutt would not have appraised the land if he did not intend to buy it)
and that the paper documenting it was not in McNutt's possession; rather,
it was in the possession of William, who claimed not to know about it.
That would have made sense if McNutt had promised to buy the land and
Sprowl wanted to sell it; Sprowl would have kept the document as his
guarantee that the land would later by purchased by McNutt. In the
lawsuit, McNutt was required either to produce the original document or
explain its absence; thus, delivery of the original to William (who did
not want to sell) adequately explained why the original paper was not
produced.
That would adequately explain why these depositions were needed.
Query: Was James Beard related to Joseph Beard who married Sidney Sprowl,
daughter
of William Sprowl [and Susannah Ewing?]?
Query: Which James Ewing?
