21 Atq 1844-1850 Legal Documents Hooe v. Hooe From JH Reid Brentsville VA Papers

Description: 21 Atq 1844-1850 Legal Documents Hooe v. Hooe From JH Reid Brentsville VA Papers Twenty-one handwritten legal documents regarding an estate settlement case, Hooe v. Hooe in which James Reid, Esq. represented one of the parties. Originally comes from the estate of James Reid, Esq. in Brentsville, VA. Of historical interest is Nathaniel H. Hooe, one of the parties, rented slaves to various people including Thomas Jefferson as one of his businesses. Letters exist (NOT in this batch) between the two of them as Hooe attempted to collect his fees and Jefferson replied amicably. Hooe had extensive land & slave holdings in Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas, as well as in Virginia at the time of his death.His illegitimate son, Thomas Mahorner, managed the far South operations; he is mentioned in these papers we are selling. Nathaniel also had two "natural born" daughters with a free woman of color whom he provided for in his will. He was also involved in a dual where he seriously, perhaps fatally injured his opponant in the leg. His will provided for sending his slaves to Africa on his death and his properties sold to pay for their passage. Mississippi declared the will illegal and refused to honor his wishes (with the concurrance of his illegitimate son, Thomas Mahorner) but some 107 slaves from Virginia were relocated to Liberia. Additional papers regarding Nathaniel H. Hooe, his estate, this case, and papers from James Reid, Esq. are on file at various institutions including the National Archives and William & Mary College This case involves the estate of Nathaniel H. Hooe in Prince William County, VA and the estate of his brother, John Hooe, in King Georges County, VA, both deceased at the time of this action. I've attempted to make sense of it and may have gotten some things wrong for lack of additional information or misinterpretation on my part but here goes: each of the heirs, Nathaniel's son William H. Hooe and John's granddaughter, Mrs. Mason, were in dispute over a $5,000 loan from William to John years in the past. William had offered a deal to John, who couldn't pay the $5,000 loan in total, that left the principle unpaid as long as John could pay the interest of $300 yearly. John accepted. When he died, his estate was left to his son, John Hooe, Jr. who continued to pay the $300 each year until his death around the time Nathaniel died Nathaniel's son, William D. Hooe, then inheritied his father's estate along with the $5,000 debt arrangement made between his father and his deceased uncle for a $300 a year payment in lieu of paying the debt off entirely. John Hooe's son, John Hooe, Jr., died shortly after Nathaniel and left the legacy arrangement to his only heir, a daughter, Mrs. Mason. From what I can surmise from online sources and these documents, and I may be wrong, is William called in the $5,000 loan from Mrs. Mason, his niece and she was unable to pay it without selling the land and slaves acquired with that loan originally. She was able to continue the $300 a year payment but William pressed for full payment of the loan and threatened to take the land from her if she didn't do it. Neither side would compromise and a trial was set. I don't know how that trial turned out. Includes 14 stampless covers with letters, 2 impressed printing press forms for collection of debts, and 4 letters, one with an envelope. Ten of the letters are from Wily Mason, brother of Mrs. Mason's husband who was handling the business for his wife. The brother was stubbornly refusing to compromise with William D. Hooe and Wily Mason was concerned for his sister and her family; he was attempting to intercede and convince his brother to accept a deal. Interesting letters to James Reid, Esq. who was representing the brother and couldn't move him either. Wily writes about trying to get his brother to be an honest and just man, etc. Paper sizes range from bill-sized to folded 10 1/2" x 17" sheets, half of them are on paper embossed with the maker's mark, some have rag edges. These are 100% authentic historical documents.
