THOMAS HALE and wife, plaintiffs against JAMES HAMMONDS and others, defendants, Suit #3 Sept. 8, 1857

The defendants, WILLIAM MCCARTY and DORCAS MCCARTY, his wife, state that said DORCAS is a daughter and heir of PETER HAMMONDS, a son of OLD PETER HAMMONDS, referred to in plaintiffs' Petition and they are entitled by descent to one-eight part of their father's interest in the land belonging to their grandfather, PETER HAMMONDS. That PETER HAMMONDS, the father of DORCAS, and son of OLD PETER, left nine children and heirs, one of whom has since died intestate and childless; and OLD PETER left ten heirs, so that being the interest by descent of these defendants in OLD PETER HAMMONDS' estate is one-eighth of one-tenth.

They further state that in addition to the interest acquired by descent as aforesaid, that defendant, WILLIAM MCCARTY, is entitled to purchase from the other heirs of the father of defendant, DORCAS, to all their right, and title of said estate evidences of which he has in part in his possession in Laurel County and cannot now be filed because they are now in Laurel County and the balance he will procure and all of which shall be filed in due time. He is also entitled to the interest of the heirs of OBEDIAH HAMMONDS, deceased, by purchase. They do not resist a sale of the land belonging to their heirs of OLD PETER HAMMONDS and pray that the proceeds of the same, according to their intent by descent and purchase as aforesaid may be adjudged against them. They pray that the plaintiff be ruled and required to file the title papers or give a definite and accurate description of the land belonging to said estate. They further state the defendant, JAMES HAMMONDS, has never made a settlement of his accounts as required by law: some $175 or two-hundred dollars has been in possession or controlling the possession of the land sought to be sold, ever since the death of the OLD MAN say --- years and the same is reasonably worth the sum of $---- per annum and the defendants have the same interest in the personality and rents which they have by descent and purchase in the land as above stated and said JAMES HAMMONDS has never distributed to these defendants any part of said estate. They therefore make this answer a Petition against JAMES HAMMONDS and pray that he be compelled to account for the reasonable rent of said land since the death of OLD PETER and that he be compelled to settle of his accounts as administrator of aforesaid and on final hearing, they pray for a judgement for their distribution share of said estate, real and personal as well as what they are entitled to by descent or by purchase. They pray for all other proper relief.
