Greene County May Term 1825

At the Nov. 1822 Greene Co Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions came the Gov. – to 
the use of the Executor of Thomas Holliday dec by John Hawks and George Well 
their attorneys – James Eastwood, William Hooker, Daniel Scarborough and Thomas

$5,000 plus $500 in damages

On the jury were – William Speight, Shute ?? Dixon, Ethelridge Pridgon, Francis 
Brown, John Pope, Arthur Speight, James W. Hooker, Redding Minshew, Stephen 
Rogers, William Stanley, John Grimsley and John Turnage

4 March 1826 – Sheriff to summon to court Henry Miller, Nathan Hooker, Adms of 
William Hooker dec and Thomas Hooker Adm of Hymrick Hooker, dec

Eastwood was the former Sheriff of Greene Co and under him the Exec of Thomas 
Holliday recovered 3 judgments against Isaac Brand and others amounting to $300 – 
from Feb and May Courts 1820 – the sd Eastwood on 6 April 1820 levied the same on 
several Negroes and a tract of land of Isaac Brand but they did not sell for lack 
of bidders – the plff produced a WIT , Isaac Brand who swore that on 27 Feb. 1821 
Eastwood made a sale of the Negroes for $1,500 and on the same day sold the land 
for $1,500 – it was determined the amt raised exceeded the demands the Sheriff 
had

The question appears to be if the Sheriff acted appropriately with the excess 
money

The jury found for the defs and a new trail was ordered
