MANN PHILLfPS VS THOS J. OVERTON.
MATCTT
tETtN 1818,
(p. 37) ...In 1805 Mann Phillips, your orator, of Stewart Co.,
was sued i-n the county court of Montgomery by one, Louder Hallon a pretended claim to one third part of the value of ttrree years
service of a negro man named Jefry, estimated at about seventy-five
or six d.ol-Iars . . . On the morning of about the f ifth day of March
1805 he (Phillips) met with Thomas J. Overton at Clarksville the
place of holding the Court of Pleas for Montgomery County...that
J. Overton then a stranger to your orator represented himself as an attorney of that court and resident there who wou1d..
be regular in his attendance at court. Your orator..mentioned
to hirn the suit just. cornmenced agai-nst your orator by Lowden HaLl
and.. desired to-know r,rtrat sum he'would. be willing to take to
put in a plea and defend hin...Thomas J. Overton answered that the
Law altowed hirn but two dollars and a half which he thought was
too litt1e, but sald if your orator would agree to give hj-rn ten
dollars he would cl-ear hirn and have him acquited....Your orator
agreed to pay Thomas J. the..sum of ten dollars...Thomas agreed
to perform his part of the agreement.
. . it was not mentioned by either party that it should be reduced
to writing, but afterwards in the evening of the same day and at
the ssile place, your orator is inforrned and believes he was in
such a state of inebriety as to be disqualifyed for ordinary
business and such indeed was his unfortunate situation that he
knew not what he did nor is tre now able to recollect any of the
transactions of the afterpart of that day, but he is informed
and believes tlrat whil-st he was in that unfortunate situation that
he the saj-d Thomas J. Overton taking advantage of the absence of
your orators mind and his almost if not total want of intelect
came to him..with a note written and sealed, dated the fifteenth
d.ayofMarckr1Bo5andcontaj-ningapromisetopayrrimoiffid
dollars and expressed to be for value received and presented ttre
same to your orator to be signed...stating Lre was your orators
Lawer in the case wtrere Lowder Ha1l had sued him and that he must
note for the fee Lre had agreed to give...and your orator
ffi-tfrat
did then and there as tre is informed. put his name to said note
without readi-ng it nor knowing what he was about and not being
able to understand if it had been read to him.
Thomas
Shortly after the day of the date of said note..Thomas J. Overton
left Clarksville and was absent at the two succeeding courts there
...that Lre was under tLre necessity of employing ottrer counsel to
defend said suit or a judgement by default would have been had
against hirn. He did employ N. A. McNary, a practic.;ng attorney
66
ten doll-ars f or making his defense. . .
Your orator..states that except the contract herein before recited
he never had any with the said Thomas J. Overton and he never owed
hi-m any sums of money on any other account....Your orator represents
that Thomas J. Overton afterwards commenced an action against him
on said note so fraudulently obtained....in the Court of Pleas etc
held in Montgomery County and afterwards removed the same by a
Writ of Error to the fate Superi or Court of Law holden for the
District of Robertson and..Thomas J. Overton concealed from the
said Court all the above mentioned facts and such were the pleadings
and the nature of the action that your orator could not discl-ose
the above..facts and clrcumstances to the court nor coul-d he by
any means avail himself of thern and upon the said note the said
Thomas J. Overton obtained a Judgement of said Court against your
orator...in the sum of one hundred dollars with interest and costs..
Asks for relief...and that Thomas J. Overton, his agents , attornies
and Sheriff of Stewart County be enjoined from pr"oceeding to cause
sai-d Judgement to be executed
...G. W. L. Marr Atty for:
complainant.
JuLy 2, 181 0.
Thomas J. Overton answeres that he was hired by the defendant for
one hundred dollars to defend hin in said suit. . . .made no agreement
with complrt that he would take ten dollars as a fee... He states
he did move away from Clarksville to Russelsvill-e in Logan County
by Lowd.er
Kentucky before the determination of E6ffiT-6-ught
Hal]....but avers that he attended to it regularly...except he
might have omited to attend one or two courts through sickness or
some other t-nftGeen accident which prevented him but having been
informed by the Cornpt himself that he had employed Mr. N. A. McNary
as counsel with this respondent at the same court, he employed this
Deft to attend to the suit aforesai-d that inconvenience of a Judgment by default likely to be obtalned against the complainant as
stated in his bill could not well have happened even if this respondents nonattendance coul-d be attributed to neglect.
. .He gave
This respondant moreover atates that the Comptt not only employed
Mr. N. A. McNary, but also the Honorabl-e Parry Humphries .....This
nespondant conceives it to be quite immaterial how many attornies
the compl t t might have thought proper to employ in the defence of
his cause. What the nature of the controversy or of what-vElde the
negro or his hire might have been estimated at certainly does not
alter or vitiate his bond..solemly executed. to this respondent
under his hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses
He conceives it to be entirely imr:aterial whether it was in the
forenoon or afternoon of the day that the complainant executed his
ob1lgation...but ti.e most positively denies that he attempted to
take any advantage of the complainants want of intelects or his
unfortunate and deplorable situation as the Complt would wish to
insipqate and this respondent would by way of Answer to this cause
of the Complainants bill beg leave to ask.trow far is the want or
absence of a mans intefect and understanding to be regarded by the
contracting parties and whether a Court of Justice will assume upon

LEGISLATIVE PETITION
RETNOLDS AND JOHN R.
MCFARLAND
The original petition 1s found in the Legislative Petitions, State
Library and Archives, Nashville, Tennessee.
To the Honourable the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee
sitting in Knoxville,
The Petition of James M. Reynolds and Jokrn R. McFarland respectful1y represents, That in the winter 1807 your Petitioners purchased a Negroe man named Moses, about thirty five years of age,
from a certain Joseph Penrice of the County of Montgomery for the
sum of Three hundred and thinty three dol-lars thirty three and one
third cents, which Negroe afterwards, to with, before the delivery
of him to us, shot and ki11ed a citizen of Cl-arksville whose name
was Samuel Minott, for which offence he was arrested, tried and
cont'icted, and pursuant to the sentance of the Court was executed
at Clarksville.
After the execution of said Negroe, said Penrice demanded pa;rment
of us, which we refused to make on the grounds of his never having
been delivered prior to his comrnitting the murder aforesaid. In
consequence of which refusal said Penrice commenced suit against
us and ultimately recovered of us Three hundred and thirty three
dollars thirty three and one third cents, togeth.er with the i-nterest thereon, making in al-I the sum of Three hundred and sixty
one dollars sixty four cents, together with the cost of suit which
added to the foregoing sum makes an agregated sum of four hundred
and one dollars eighty two and one hal-f cents, which we paid to
the Sheriff of Montgomery County as his receipt which accompanies
this petition will ful1y shew unto your Honourable Body.
Your Petitioners having fu1ly and fairly represented this case
which they bel-ieve a hard one and knowing no reason consistent
with principles of imrmrtable Justice which would prevent the State
from making to us full compensation for the loss we have sustained
by the mere operation of the laws of the State and conceiving ourselves fairly entitled to receive from the State the sum which we
have been compelled by Law to pay and relying on the Justice of
your Honourable Body chearfully subrnit the decision on our interest
in the above reci-ted case to you.
We do not concieve that the State ought to deprive a Citizen of his
property by the operation of Law (a1tho it is right that Culprits
should be made to suffer punishment) without making the owner
more than one Ci-tizen has a right to
reperation ttrerefor, any
the usE of the property of his neighbour wittrout paying a valuable compensation for the same. Atl which is respectfully submitted.

HISTORY OF SHADY GROVE CHIIRCH
by Cleo
G.
Hogan, P. 0. Box 21)2, Asheville, North Carolina
2BBO2
The Shady Grove Church and school came into existence sometime
before 1BTZ. Tnavelling preachers of various persuasions preached
there in ttre same building as was used for a graded school. 0n
a busy Sunday, Sept. 17, 1893, Rev. Jeruy Cullom recorded the
following in his diary: trAt eight otclock, married Charley McDaniel to Miss Donia Johnson. At eleven, preached at Grantts
Chapel, dt three at Mt. Carrnel, and at night at Shady Grove. We
protract the meeting. There were eleven mourners, and one contonight.tt this well-known Mettrodist was still- having
version
rf
a good crowd at Shady Groverr as late as Sunday, Jul-y J, 19Ol .
The new century was to bring changes to the community, however.
The brotlrers, Lycurgus Bartlett Strannon and Jokr.n W. D. Shannon,
anrived at Shady Grove and organized the Freewill Baptist congregation, with ten members on July 20, 1902. A Building Committee
was appointed soon after the organization, consi-stion of W. T.
Major, S. N. I{ogan, and Robert and Will Heflin. The brothers
Shannon boarded at tkre home of the comrmrnity storekeeper, Monroe
Wi-lliams, while the building was being erected. The log building
was completed and dedicated on April 9, 1911 by the Rev. Jessie
Hudgins. A photograph of this bullding survi-ves, and shows it
had two front doors, and three side windows. It was replaced in
the early 1950s with the pr.esent structure, oh approxirnately the
same
site.
B2
By 19lZ tkre congregation was sending delegates to the Baptist
Association meetings. J. A. Major, A. R. Hogan and A. Jackson
were delegates in that year. The next year Henry Holt and A. R.
Hogan were to go, with J. A. Major as alternate.
The congregation has yielded more than one minister to Christian
servi-ce. The first was A. R. Hogan, who preached the second
sermons in June 1916 and was later ordained an El-der. He subsequently became a Methodist, and labored in that denomi.nation for
over forty years.
The present church building was constructed in the 195Os. It has
