his son, a part of his face having been eaten off by  the hogs.

[abstracted]
Jan. 28, 1857 Brooks Buffington filed a petition with the  Clerk of the Court 
of Common Pleas in Meigs Co., Ohio against Samuel Buffington  and Heirs at 
Law of William Buffington deceased - - George W. Buffington, Wesley  F. 
Buffington, Jane P. Woodyard.  Alfred Woodyard, Phebe Woodyard, Dunbar  
Woodyard and 
Baldwin R. Buffington of the county of Wirt, in the State of  Virginia, and 
Solomon Buffington of the county of Wood, Virginia, and Reuben  Tubbs and Betsy 
Tubbs, of the county of Adair, in the State of Missouri, and  Seth Buffington 
and Susan Buffington, of the county of Muskingum, in the State  of Ohio.  
Saying that in 1849 William Buffington being alive and owning a  leasehold 
estate 
for 60 acres of land off the west end of Lot #3 in section #29,  in township #4 
and range #12 known as ministerial land and on or about Oct. 17,  1848 
William Buffington, surrendered his lease of the land to the auditor of  Meigs 
and 
then purchased the land at $3.50 an acre, to be paid in twelve annual  
installments to the treasurer.  In or about 1851 William Buffington sold  all 
of this 
rights and estate in the above land for $7000,00 to Brooks and  Wesley F. 
Buffington giving Brooks and Wesley possession of the 60 acres.   The contract 
was 
written up and signed and delivered by William Buffington to  Brooks and 
Wesley F. Buffington but has been mislaid or lost.  Then about  June 1854 
Brooks 
Buffington bought from Wesley F. Buffington all of his right  and interest in 
the 60 acres.  Brooks Buffington is claiming that a large  part of the $700,00 
was paid by him and Wesley F. to William in his life time  and that the 
residue of it has been fully paid to George W. Buffington,  administrator of 
William 
Buffington, deceased.

The suit is asking that all of the above listed parties be “adjudged and  
ordered to release to the plaintiff all the interest which, as the heirs at 
law  
of said William Buffington, deceased, may respectively have in said  premise.” 
  All are to appear in court March 17, 1857.

Attorney for Plaintiff
