Taylor in a bill – Susan Brown late of the county of Pitt died 18---  
entitled to a piece of property in Pitt Co which land she by ----- 
(blank) gave to Susan Webber before her intermarriage with Webber – 
Susan Webber did by deed convey the land to Speirs Wetherington for 
$87.50 – sd Wetherington pd to Thomas Moore of Greene Co at the request 
of Webber – Susan not responsible for any debts of her husband – at 
this time they were living on a piece of land,  the property & estate 
of one Rebecca Hartt who was residing in the state of Va and Webber 
considered purchasing Hartt's land – the Webbers applied to one Josiah 
Barrott who was about to visit Virginia and wished him to purchase the 
land they were living on from said Rebecca Hartt – he did so and we 
reside on the land – a deed was executed and Barrott was a wit – part 
of the purchase money was from the sale of the land to sd Wetherington 
which was $87.50  and the balance was $48.50 which was also pd and 
given to sd Barrott to give to sd Hartt – Webber became indebted to 
Edward Carmon for about $30 and Carmon requested a mortgage on the land 
purchased of Hartt – on 11 Oct 1850 such a deed was conveyed for $135 – 
the sum was never paid and never intended to be paid as it was only to 
secure the $30 – had applied to said Thomas Moore to execute the deed 
to Webber and Webber even offered to pay Moore the $50 owed to him – 
Moore sold the land to Benjamin Taylor on 23 Dec 1852 for $200 – said 
Taylor knew of the facts – Edward Carmon did execute a deed to Moore on 
2 Jan 1852 for $30 only – Moore was suppose to make a deed back to 
Susan Webber ??? or to her children but he didn't, stating that Webber 
owed him $50 which Webber admitted to but said the debt had nothing to 
do with his wife – Carmon agreed to give a deed back for $30 saying 
that Susan was not liable for her husband's debts – Carman was going to 
sell the land at public auction but Webber raised the $30 – Carman 
about to leave this state for South Carolina – Thomas Moore made a deed 
to Benjamin Taylor on 23 Dec 1852 for $200 – Taylor recently commenced 
an action of ejectment against Webber for the said land – Taylor 
refused to work with Webber – Webber wants Taylor restrained
