I show Greenberry born 1880 Md-and that he went to Indiana-and married
Charlotte born SC-
And that he was son of John and Sarah Ann son of my Philip-
Can you give me more dates on him? I did not have son .
I have the following notes:
Georgia,
The court case Greenberry who moved to Posey Co., IND is my ancestor.
Actually, Charlotte's name was just Charlotte. It never was Carlotta or
Charlotta. That misnomer probably occured because one of her granddaughters
used to be called that. Yes, I know about the two Greenberrys; date of birth
is different for both, and my feeling has been for many years that they
might be uncle and nephew, but could never find enough documentation to
prove anything.

original. Original spelling and punctuation retained. Source: Supreme Court
Case, #232, Thigpen vs Belfour, 1812 (see the original case at the Archives
for more of this case). Halifax District In Equity To the Honorable the
Judge of the Court of Equity of the District of Halifax The Bill of
Complaint of Lemuel Thigpen of the County of Edgcombe humbly sheweth that on
or about the thirty first day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand
seven hundred & ninety six your Orator became bound as a Security for &
jointly with one Greenbery Causey then of the said County in an Obligation
to one Joseph Stringer also then of the said County for the payment to him
the said Joseph of forty two silver dollars & one half dollar on or before
the 25th day of December then next ensuing, which Sum became due to the said
Joseph by him the said Causey for the purchase of a Mare. Your Orator
further sheweth that some time after executing the said obligation the said
Stringer moved to the State of Georgia & the said Causey moved to the County
of Pitt some thirty or forty miles from the residence of your orator who not
living in the neighborhood of the said Stringer before he moved to Georgia
heard nothing more of the said obligation until some time about the month of
March in the year 1804 when William Balfour of the County of Edgcombe
aforesaid Esquire, presented the same to your orator & demanded payment
thereof. Your orator further sheweth that he understands & believes that the
said Stringer died some time after moving to Georgia & a certain Joseph
Ruffin of the said County of Edgcombe, a man of but very little if any worth
either in character or property, went to Georgia & searching among the
papers of the deceased, found the said obligation & returning with it to
Edgcombe County sold or pretended to sell the same to the said Balfour who
upon applying to your orator for payment thereof as aforesaid threatened to
commence first thereon against him unless he would either pay off the amount
of the principal & Interest due upon the said obligation or give a new note
for the same, which your orator consented to do, fearing that should a suit
be commenced he would be distressed before he would raise the money to
satisfy the said obligation. Your orator accordingly gave to the said
Balfour his note or obligation bearing date the 23d March 1804 for the
amount of the principal & Interest of the said debt, being as was stated to
him the sum of £30.9.8 payable on demand as well as he recollects with
Interest from the date & took in the old obligation with which he applied to
the said Causey & demanded payment thereof, which he refused alleging that
he had paid off the said obligation soon after giving it by returning to the
said Stringer the said Mare & giving him half a barrel of Corn, upon which
the said Stringer promised to deliver up the said obligation, which he
neglected to do but afterwards informed him that he had destroyed it,
notwithstanding this information, your orator commenced suit against the
said Causey in the County Court of Pitt County to recover of him the amount
of his note aforesaid & the said suit still remains at issue in the said
Court, but your orator despairs of effecting a recovery against him because
he finds upon inquiry that it is true that the said Causey discharged the
said obligation in the manner stated by him, of which the said Balfour was
informed as your orator believes, notwithstanding which he commenced suit
against your orator upon the note given by him as aforesaid in the County
Court of Edgcombe aforesaid to last May term & the same is still depending
in that Court. Your orator further states that he has just cause to believe
that the said Ruffin never paid one farthing for the said obligation, of
which he had no indorsement from any one, but there appears upon the said
original obligation which your orator has ready to produce an endorsement
from the said Ruffin to Balfour but your orator does not know what the said
Balfour gave the said Ruffin for the said obligation, but has understood
that what he paid him was partly in an old debt due by the said Ruffin which
no doubt the said Balfour considered desperate. Your orator avers that after
the said Stringer moved to Georgia he fully believed that the said
obligation had been discharged & that your orator never should be called
upon in regard to it & that he never knew or believed to the contrary until
the said Balfour applied to him for payment as aforesaid, which he consented
to make from a belief at that time that the said obligation was still due &
from a fear that he should be distressed with a suit as aforesaid. After the
suit had been commenced as aforesaid against your orator, he informed the
said Balfour that he could probe that the original obligation aforesaid had
been paid off & demanded of him to deliver up the note which your orator
gave him as aforesaid, threatening to apply to this Honorable Court for
redress should he refuse to do so And your orator well hoped that the said
Balfour would have complied with this reasonable request But now so it is
that the said William Balfour combining & confederating to & with the said
Joseph Ruffin how to cheat & affray your orator, refuses to deliver up his
said note & prosecute the said suit in which no doubt at the next term of
the said Court he will obtain Judgment reason of the rigid rules of the
common L(aw) which admits not as your orator is advised of your orators
defending himself upon the equitable merits of his case aforesaid. Your
orator being therefore without redress except before your Honor in Equity
prays that the said Balfour & Ruffin may be summoned in due form before the
Court to answer the premisses and to do & stand to your Honors Decree
therein May it please your Honor also to grant your orator a writ of
Injunction against the said Balfour enjoyning him from poceeding any further
with his said suit at Law until the merits of the case can be fully heard in
Equity And that he may have such relief generally in the premisses as the
nature of his case entitles him to and he will ever pray &c. Lemuel Thigpen
Halifax District Lemuel Thigpen maketh oath that the several matters of fact
stated by him in the aforegoing Bill as facts within his own (k)nowledge are
true & the others he believes to (be) true. Sworn to before me Lemuel
Thigpen at Halifax Oct'r 28th 1805 Jno. Hall JSCLC State of North Carolina
Oct.: 28th 1805 The Clerk and Master of the Court of Equity for Halifax
district will let an injunction & sp'a issue agreeable to the prayer of the
within bill (except that the Plt at law has leave to proceed to Judgment)
upon complainants entering into bond with secureties agreeable to law in
doubt the sum for which the note complained of & on which suit is depending
against him was given conditioned to be void upon complainants paying the
full amount of said note with Interest & costs into court in case this
injunction shall be desolved & further abiding such order & decree as shall
be made in the Premisses. Jno. Hall JSCLC By leave of the Court the
Complainant amends this Bill by averring as he does that the obligation
mentioned in the Bill was one under his seal & was signed sealed & delivered
by him to the Defendant as his act & deed. Blake Baker
