"On November 27, 1872, James Pratt filed a creditor's bill to subject the interest of Russell Grimes in certain lands to the payment of a certain decree in favor of Pratt against Russell Grimes, and to set aside a mortgage of said Grimes to Philemon B. Pratt, dated March 10, 1862. This bill was against Philemon B. Pratt, Jacob Grimes, Alexander Grimes, Mary L. Pratt and Langdon Miller. At the May term, 1874, the death of Philemon B. Pratt was suggested and leave granted to amend the bill, making his personal representatives parties. On October 15, 1877, the bill was amended, making Celintha Miller, wife of Langdon Miller, a party defendant."
