Notes


Wilkens Updike Sherman

Speculation: Could the following be Mary Frances Sherman Bacon's family:
Birthplace: North Kingston, Washington, Rhode Island


Elizabeth Cole

Another marriage date: 13 Mar 1823 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana

He was married to Elizabeth Cole. Elizabeth Cole was born about 1808 in Plaquemine Brulee, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Information found on the internet on familytreemaker.com, Elizabeth Cole filed for separation of bed and board for defamation of character on September 29, 1824 and a court date was set. Isham was notified but did not show up. Elizabeth presented her case and was granted a separation (Suit #905, St. Landry Parish).
On November 12, 1829, Elizabeth Cole's petitions for final divorce from Isham Nettles and it was given. Sources show that Isham and Elizabeth had six children. This is odd considering that they were separated just over a year after they married. Reconciliation? [Sharon Aycock). (Copied by Danny A. McBee, September 17, 2000).

“The Territorial Papers of the United States” Volume VI, The Territory of Mississippi, 1809-1817 PETITION TO CONGRESS BY PURCHASERS OF PUBLIC LANDS EAST OF PEARL RIVER
[No date, 1815] To the Honourable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress Assembled: the humble petition of certain purchasers of public lands east of Pearl River Respectfully Showeth. That when your petitioners made purchase of public lands,-they did believe that they purchased them under the simple condition of paying for them in certain instalments, and under the expectation that if they failed to make payment on the day appointed,-they would be liable, as in all similar contracts, to pay the interest on their instalments from the time they became due. Experience has sadly convinced your petitioners that the receivers of public monies, insist, on the part of the United States, not only upon the ordinary, simple, legal interest upon instalments not paid on the day,-but on a certain forfeiture or penalty, under the name of “back interest”, founded on the principle that on the failure of payment at the period appointed,-the government becomes entitled not only to interest from that time, but to interest from the very day of purchase;-thus raising a charge against the unfortunate purchaser,-not only of simple interest, but in some cases of even double or treble compound interest. Your petitioners can scarcely believe that this was ever the intention of the just and paternal government of the United States:-and they have a firm hope that the statement of the existing evil is alone sufficient to insure a remedy. Some of your petitioners had, perhaps, peculiar reason to deem the existing practice a severe one. They had purchased land, before they removed to the territory; and during the state of indian hostility it was impossible for an inhabitant of Georgia or Carolina to reach the land office in St Stephens with the instalment due:-and had they reached it; they would have found the doors of the office shut, and all kinds of civil business utterly suspended. Your petitioners therefore humbly hope that a law will pass for refunding what is called back interest, & forbidding its collection in future: and your petitioners as in duty bound &c <A few of the names with possible connections to B.
